Located 1000 km from Ulaanbaatar by paved road, 102 km from Murun, a central town of Khovsgol province.

Khovsgol Lake lies sticking into the southern fringe of the Siberian Taiga on the northern frontier of Mongolia, at an altitude of 1645 m above sea level. The lake's name is also spelled Hovsgol, Hövsgöl, or Khuvsgul in English texts.

The lake is the largest freshwater lake in the country but the second largest in surface area of 2760sq km with a coastline of 414 km after Uvs Lake in western Mongolia. This volcanic lake reaches 262 m at its deepest, 136 km (85 miles) long, and 36 km (22 miles) wide. Over 90 rivers feed the Khovsgol Lake, while one flows out from its southern tip, the Egiin Gol River, the tributary of the Selenge River, flows into Lake Baikal in Siberia.

The lake contains 70% of Mongolian freshwater sources and 1-2% of the world's freshwater. How amazing it will be when you spend your holiday at one of the world’s freshest water lakes with a transparency of 24.5 m, which looks as blue as the Caribbean Lakes.
