[2025 Khatgal Stay] Travel Guide for Khuvsgul Bayan-Ulaan (Updated Mar)

Khuvsgul Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Mongolia when it relates to volume, and second largest by area. It is called the blue pearl of Mongolia for the color and high water clarity. Khuvsgul is also regarded as "the younger sister" of, the more famous and more massive Baikal Lake. Khuvsgul holds almost 70% of Mongolian fresh water reserves and its water is drinkable without any treatment. Like Baikal Lake, Khuvsgul is a rift lake. It is 136 kilometers long, and its maximum depth is 262 meters. In the land of deserts and where the most lakes are salty, Khuvsgul is considered sacred.

#timetotravel Greatly enjoyed visiting Mongolia and in particular, going to its northern and largest lake, the beautiful Lake Khusval/Hoskul. Sister to the more famous Lake Baikal, Khusval is no less majestic and clear. The lake is just warm enough to brave its waters but it’s still freezing cold. Loved the chance to stay in a very cozy wood-fired yurt or ger as the Mongolians called it, and brush up on my equestrian skills on the small but hearty Mongolian horses.

#Overseas travel I've been to Mongolia, a hot travel destination these days! I recommend Khovsgol, a treasure-like lake located in northern Mongolia🦢 📍 Khovsgol Lake, Mongolia 🚗 2 hours by car from Mörön city (mixed dirt and paved roads) ✔️ You can enjoy activities such as transparent kayaking, boating to islands, swimming, and horseback riding trekking❤️ #Vacation travel #Hot place #Mongolia #Mongolia travel #Khovsgol #Lake #Lake scenery
