Khuvsgul Lake Ice Festival & Tsaatan Tour
Each year in March, residents of Mongolia’s Khövsgöl Lake area celebrate the Khövsgöl Ice Festival with horse-drawn sleighs, elaborate ice sculptures, traditional food and vibrant competitions including ice skating, ice sumo wrestling, tug of war, ice ger building and dog sledding – all on the dark blue ice of the frozen lake. During the Festival, the lake after becomes a frozen playground for locals and visitors alike. For the occasion, participants dress up in their own colourful, traditional costumes that represent the country’s different regions where they hail from. Here you can witness the traditions and lifestyles of Mongolian reindeer herders who descend to the lake from their taiga homeland, while local shamans perform their rituals with a fire-burning ceremony. With our 10 days tour, you will enjoy a full experience of the Khuvsgul Lake and Northern region of Mongolia. First with the Ice Festival and its festivities, continuing by the Tsaatan communities and their reindeers.
