What makes it special

  • Walk (and ride) on the frozen lake: the ice becomes a natural winter “highway” and playground—perfect for scenic hikes, skating, and photo moments.  
  • Khuvsgul Ice Festival experience: enjoy ice games, cultural performances, and winter competitions held right on the lake’s surface.  
  • Horse-drawn sleigh rides & winter horse activities: classic northern-Mongolia winter transport turned into a memorable adventure.  
  • Dog sledding options: an adrenaline-filled way to explore the lake’s winter wilderness.  
  • Meet the Tsaatan reindeer herders (taiga culture): a rare cultural encounter with the reindeer people of northern Mongolia (often paired with festival season itineraries).  
  • Shamanic & local traditions: some tours highlight rituals/ceremonies and deep northern cultural heritage during festival time.  
  • Incredible winter photography: colorful deel costumes against dark-blue ice and white mountains create striking contrast and once-in-a-lifetime shots.  

Best season to go

  • Late Feb to early March is a popular window—often aligned with the Ice Festival period.
