• Reindeer land - horse trekking

    This is a land of tall taiga forest, crystal clear lakes, icy streams and lush grass, snow capped high mountains and the scenery - rainbows hang over meadows dotted with white gers and grazing horses, yaks and reindeers. Enjoy crystal-clear lake Huvsgul, famous for its name ‘’Dark blue pearl’’. From the top of mountain magnificent Huvsgul lake looks turquoise. Walking by the edge of the lake you will see the crystal-clear part of the lake. If you go deeper and deeper the color will change into dark blue. We offer you boat trip to small islands in the middle of the lake and you will hear fairy tails about the islands.

    You will visit reindeer people teepees, experience the lifestyles, try their cuisine and you can ride on a reindeer, endangered species in the world. Very small ethnic group of only 200 Tsaatan people live in Mongolia.
