Khuvsgul
Known as the Dark Blue Pearl Lake Khuvsgul is Mongolian deepest lake.
In the northernmost aimag, its outlet is the largest tributary to Siberia’s Lake Baikal. At 1,645m above sea level, it is frozen from January until April or May, after which a ferry runs between Khatgal and Khankh, the northern and southern towns within the boundaries of the National Park. Here, shamanism survives as a religion among the Darkhads, and the Tsaatan reindeer tribesmen. Tourists can trace the lake shores by horse, foot or on ship Sukhbaatar. Lake Khuvsgul is an important migration route for birds from Siberia, haven for birdwatchers. The Dayan Deerhiin cave has ancient wall paintings.
