The ice festival, combined with a stay of a few days in a ger camp in the forests along the frozen Kohvsgul Lake, is a popular attraction in the winter season. Enjoy a ride on a horse-drawn sleigh, watch the Mongolian archers or the traditional bone game on the ice. Immerse yourself in the world of Mongolian costumes, brightly coloured, lambskin-lined to brave the icy cold. Come and experience another world.
General Information:
Lake Khovsgul is frozen over from December to March and is open to traffic on the ice during this period. The 1-1.5 metre thick layer of ice is the field on which the ice festival and the associated games take place.
Most of the visitors to the festival are Mongolians from the various tribes in the region, but they also come from distant provinces.
