Modon Khuis Island
Модон хүйс арал
A forested island in the middle of Lake Khövsgöl, reached by boat from the west shore camps. Circling the island reveals the deepest blue of the lake.
Modon Khui sits in the middle of the lake and is the island most often visited by tourists. It is covered in larch trees, and a trail through the forest takes about an hour to circle the island. You need to hire a boat from the west shore camps or from Khatgal. The one-way trip takes 1–2 hours, and the price is negotiated based on the boat and the number of passengers. Weather on the lake can change quickly, so check the forecast before setting out and wear a life jacket. The island has no facilities at all, so bring your own food and water.
