It's surrounded with many peaks culminating at more than 2000 metres and covered with forests of pines and lush meadows where yaks and horses graze!

Day 3

• Let's have our first 2 days around the frozen Khuvsgul lake and the Ice Festival!

  The Ice Festival on the lake itself is a traditional celebration now in Winter that is taking place around the end of February/beginning of March.

  At that time, the local population as well as the Russian counterparts living on the other side of the border gather for this great event, with multi activities organized for the next 3 days. You can be attending horse sledge races on the ice, a sort of a Mongolian curling contest named Shagain Naadam, ice sculptures, or of course ice skating.

  It is also a period when most ethnicities are represented, because this is the major event of the whole region.

Day 5

• Today you'll enjoy 4 or 5 hours on a sledge pulled by a horse, on the frozen lake. Let you slide in this magical experience on the lake. In Winter, the lake is covered with a 2-metres (6,56 feet) and more thick layer of ice.

• Those who wish can horseride in the forests and on the banks of Lake Khovsgol.

• We leave early today, to drive South-East, to reach Erdenet at the end of the day. It's one of the most important city of the country. It has one of the largest open-air mines of the world (copper mine).

  Tonight we will rest in a local 2* hotel of the city for a good night rest.

• We drive about 350km back to Ulan-Bator. The road would take sometime, since there were recently some renovations made before arriving to the Capital.

Ulan Bator - Terelj national park

• Let's immerse ourselves into the 2nd Festival of this exciting adventure!

  Each year, falconers living in the area get together on the occasion of the Eagles Festival that symbolizes the opening of the shooting season, where everyone can come with its eagle-hunter and show its skill. Preys are foxes, rabbits, or small wolves. Skill tournaments are held all day long, but also bushkashi trials, over the course of which Kazakh horsemen compete to catch the corpse of a sheep. The first one who catches it must bring it behind a predefined line, while the other ones try to snatch it from him.

  You'll attend this event until the afternoon.

• Then we depart from the surroundings of UB to the Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, a real gorgeous green setting at the gates of the capital : rocky formations sculpted by erosion, mountains tree-filled with pines, plains scattered with wild flowers and edelweiss, rivers and lakes.
