    Khovsgol Lake tour in February
    with Ice festival and visiting Darhad family’s

    Ice Festival on the Lake Khovsgol. Vast areas of Lake Khovsgol have remained basically untouched due to its rough terrain. Gorgeous mountain ranges bound the lake from all sides. The most impressive of all are the Sayan Mountains that are located south from Lake Khovsgol with Khoridol Saridag mount being the utmost summit in the whole north region. It stands right on the Mongolian and Russian border overlooking both countries from the height of 3491 m. This is the world of glaciers, stormy winds and fascinating landscape.
    In February for just 2 weeks the trails leading to Khoridol Saridag becomes crowded with tens of tourists. Both newcomers and winter sport funs come here every year to explore the glaciers, to meet friends and sing songs round the camp fire.
    In February, Khovsgol Lake – ice festival will take place in Khatgal village and on Lake Khovsgol shores. The festival will provide boundless opportunities for Lake Khovsgol visitors to enjoy winter sports and outdoor activities including downhill and cross-country skiing, ice-fishing contests, etc.
    Khovsgol can be as cold as -30°C at night in Feb. Thermal protection is essential, especially for feet, fingers and face. Also, UV protecting sunglasses are required for eye protection. The ice of the lake is min. 2m thick and can hold a car or even a large lorry easily.

    About that days:
    Thickness of the ice in February: 200-250 cm
    Average daily temperature in February -10-15°C
    Average temperature at night: -25°C

    Dates from 26 Feb to 4 March

    I been in Khovsgol two 2 times.
    First time 1993 for horsetrip.Second time 1997.
    I have stayed at Bayaraa’s/owner of the Camp/ place.Wchich later came to be Bonda Lake Ger Camp.
    Hovsgol offers landscape beauties from the steppes to the great Siberian Larches forest, mountains and pristine lakes and rivers, but also the discovery of mongolian herders way of life and culture.

    Bonda Lake’s guides will drive you through the best spots of the area, handle and prepare the horses and pack horses, explain and show you mongol riding skills and horse medicine, prepare the meals, help the contacts with herders and delight your evenings with mongol songs and their laughs. Tents and mats for fire camps can be provided by Bonda Lake.

    My trips was so interesting in this area.
    I trully recomend to all horseback riders visit and contact with this place.
