Lake Khovsgol lies in a forested mountain basin near the Siberian border. Taiga, larch woodland, alpine slopes, wetlands and the clear lake shore meet within a compact landscape, producing a wildlife community very different from the southern Gobi. Forest birds are often easier to detect by voice than by sight. Visitors should allow time for changing weather and explore quietly along forest edges, river mouths and higher slopes rather than concentrating only on the lakeshore.
