Khuvsgul lake is located in the Northern Mongolia near the Russian border.
Khuvsgul lake is the largest fresh water lake in Mongolia by volume and second largest by area. It’s about 200 km (124 mi) west of the southern end of Lake Baikal. It is nicknamed the “Younger sister” of those two “sister lakes”. Lake Khuvsgul’s 380 cubic km of water make it the fourteenth largest freshwater lake in the world and second largest in Central Asia by volume, with over 1% of the world’s fresh water. At its deepest, the lake dives 262 meters. Ninety-six rivers and strearns empty into lake, but only the Egiin River exits the lake. The Egiin flows southeast until it joins the Selenge River, which flows through one of Mongolia’s most densely populated areas on its way to Lake Baikal. The Lake is 1645 meters above sea level and is generally frozen from January until April or May. It’s a great place for hiking and horseback riding.
