Central Mongolia to Lake Khuvsgul
Traverse the Orkhon Valley, Khangai Mountains, and Terkhiin Tsagaan Lake (White Lake) north to Khuvsgul, flying back from Mörön at the end.
This itinerary connects the ancient capital of Karakorum, Orkhon Waterfall, hot springs, volcanic lakes, and Lake Khuvsgul into a one-way route, flying back from Mörön to avoid backtracking on bumpy roads. The landscape offers the greatest variety, changing from sand dunes and river valleys to taiga forests, and is cooler than the Gobi in summer. The seventh and eighth days involve consecutive long drives on poor roads. Tsaatan reindeer herder camps require several additional days of horse riding and are not included here.
Camps at Lake Khuvsgul are open from June to September, and it turns cold in late September; dirt roads can be difficult during the rainy season.
