Summary

Khyargas Lake is one of Mongolia’s best-kept secrets. Known for its whitewashed cliffs and crystal-clear waters.

The Khyargas Lake is Mongolia’s third-largest lake. The lake is 74 kilometers long, 31 kilometers wide and reaching depths of 80 meters. The main attraction is a natural rock formation that runs along the eastern shore.

The shores of Khyargas Lake, especially Khetsuu Khad, are a huge draw for bird enthusiasts. Migratory birds arrive at the lake in April and are off again by mid-September. There is also an abundance of fish species such as the Mongolian grayling, Altai leuciscinae, lake osman and dace.

Mongolia is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The country is home to some of the world’s most beautiful scenery.
