About Lake Hovsgol

Lake Hovsgol National Park contains one of Asia's largest freshwater lakes, often called the 'Blue Pearl' of Mongolia. The lake contains about 70% of Mongolia's fresh water and is surrounded by mountains covered in pine forests. The park is home to numerous species including yaks, argali sheep, and ibex.
