Khovsgol Mountains and Lake (Horse Riding)

"Mongolian National Boots" National History Museum©OTMT

Khovsgol Province in Northern Mongolia is best known for its beautiful lake - the locals call it "Mother Ocean" There are few roads in these parts and all the local people use horses to travel in the area. In the winter the huge lake is frozen and people take their horses and sleighs on the ice up to the Siberian border to trade.

Khovsgol lake is surrounded by forests and mountains full of wild animals and birds. One can ride in the mountains and along the lake shore for many days, enjoying the pure air and dramatic scenery.
