Khuvsgul Lake & Tsaatan Reindeer Herders Tour

Discover the frozen landscapes and nomadic culture of northern Mongolia on a tour from Ulaanbaatar. Walk on the frozen Khuvsgul Lake and meet the Tsaatan reindeer herders.
Begin your adventure with an overnight train journey from Ulaanbaatar to Erdenet City, one of Mongolia’s major cities. Upon arrival, meet your local driver and continue by private vehicle through spectacular winter scenery toward Khatgal Town, the gateway to Khuvsgul Lake.

Khuvsgul Lake is one of the purest freshwater lakes in the world, often called the “Blue Pearl of Mongolia.” In winter, the lake freezes into a vast, crystal-clear ice field that stretches as far as the eye can see. Walk on the huge frozen ice steppe, which looks like polished glass, take photos, and enjoy the silence and beauty of this magical place.

From Khatgal, continue north to Tsagaan Nuur Town, the heartland of the Tsaatan (Dukha) reindeer herders. Pass through Renchinlkhümbe town on the way, remote valleys, snow-covered taiga forests, and the unfrozen Jargant River.

Meet the Tsaatan people and experience their unique and fascinating lifestyle, which has remained largely unchanged for centuries. Learn how they survive the harsh winter season, live in traditional teepees, herd reindeer, and depend on nature for their daily life. This is a rare opportunity to see reindeer up close and understand the deep connection between the Tsaatan people and their animals.

During the journey, visit unfrozen sections of the Jargant River, admire dramatic cliffs, untouched wilderness, and breathtaking winter landscapes that very few travelers ever see.
