General presentation
Khyargas Lake
Saltwater, white cliffs and desert steppes form an isolated stage of the Great Lakes Depression.
The discovery of Khyargas Lake is centred around Khyargas Lake, Hetsuu Had Falaise and Zavkhan River. The stay thus alternates between the shores and the lakes, desert areas and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Lake
Khyargas Lake
This large salty lake occupies an arid basin and receives the waters of Lake Airag. Wind, distances and lack of services require reserves and reliable vehicle. Light, wind and season greatly transform the landscape.
Place indismissible
Hetsuu Had's falsies
The cliffs of Hetsuu Had lay their clear walls on the south shore of Khyargas Lake. This isolated site combines rocky promontory, mineral beach and views of the water very open; access requires a suitable vehicle and autonomous preparation.
River
Zavkhan River
The Zavkhan feeds the system of the Airag and Khyargas lakes after a long route in the arid west. Its channels and wet meadows are fragile and difficult to reach without local knowledge.
