This morning we will be picked up by the rest of the Nomadic Trails team and served a straightforward breakfast.

We’ll then go to Murun Town, which serves as Khuvsgul Province’s provincial capital. We’ll visit an old deer stone and carving site as part of the day’s activities before returning to Murun town and continuing on to Khatgal town. To spend the night sleeping, we move to a neighborhood guest ger.

After a filling breakfast, you’ll spend the morning visiting Mongolia’s Blue Pearl, the magnificent frozen lake Khuvsgul. You will spend an hour at the lake on a horse-drawn sled ride, enjoying the scenery and having a ton of fun.

After breakfast, we travel across snow-covered roads to the Mongolian Reindeer tribe’s winter camping area. Transfer to the nearby huts, where you will spend the night, after arrival. After meeting the local reindeer herders, we spend the remainder of the day interacting with the community, learning about their customs and even taking part in some of them. As an illustration, riding a reindeer. Local huts.

Day 5: Taiga 

Spend this day interacting with and learning about the Tsaachin people. By conversing with the locals and learning about their culture and how they have managed to preserve such a traditional way of life for so long, you may take advantage of the tribe’s hospitality. Enjoy the beauty of the woodland coated with snow. Stay overnight in local huts.

We have a nice short stroll along the road in a stunning canyon in between drives. We travel to the log cabin at the National Park Rangers station after arriving in Ulaan Uul town, where we rest for the evening. Stay the night in the cabin.
