This is an ideal trip for the traveler wishing to spend quality time visiting some of the greatest natural attractions the Khuvsgul Lake area has to offer. See the largest lake in Mongolia, visit reindeer people, and a nomadic lifestyle that takes different shape in the Taiga. Hiking and horse riding in the shore of the lake. The beauty of Mongolia will be laid out before you on this amazing 4-day adventure!
As a Mongolian company we prefer to support Nomadic families financially, and help support their livelihoods. We are sure this resonates with our travelers who enjoy engaging with their culture on The Steppe. It is therefore our preference to stay with these families if they have an extra Ger. As well as directly supporting local herders, you can experience this rich traditional way of life first hand.
Most of the meals on this tour are included in the tour price. All included meals will be prepared from fresh local produce. The majority of the shopping for food will be done before the trip departs, and fresh goods, such as meats, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, will be bought en-route during the trip from supermarkets, local shops and markets.

Many lunches will be provided en-route and will be light meals such as sandwiches and/or salads or local restaurants.

She lent her couch to me for a night and even made me dinner!! real nice and authentic Mongolian food! Also, she arranged for a tour to khovsgol and provided us with a very experienced and cool guide/driver (whom we fondly called “the father”) and a young and energetic translator. Everything was very much taken care of and she even helped us to get the train tickets to Beijing and bus tickets to Murun, thou she didn’t have to! That’s the extra mile she is willing to go to!
