Annually held every February
Days 1
We will pick you up at your accommodation in UB for our flight to Murun, capital of Khovsgol province. From the airport, we drive the 3 hours to Hatgal, the gateway to Khovsgol National Park at the southern end of the lake with the same name. In Hatgal, we stay in a local guest house.
Days 2
In the morning, we have some time to visit Hatgal. To get to the festival we will need to drive onto the frozen expanse of the lake. The festival is held every year at a different location, depending on where the best ice conditions can be found. We will spend all day at the festival, watching the ice sumo, horse sledge racing, ice skating and driving competitions. We will spend the night in the gers/log cabins of our Mongolian friends who use the festival to break the monotony of winter.
Days 3
We will spend the whole day at the festival. Depending on the location of the festival, at night, we either retreat again to the gers/log cabins of our Mongolian friends or stay in a guest house in HatgaL.
Days 4
We spend the morning saying our good bys to our friends. This might include a small ceremony in every ger. We then drive back to Murun for our flight back to UB. Our winter adventure will end once we have dropped you off at your accommodation in UB.
