Snow, Ice, and Festivals

A spectacular journey into winter landscapes that few foreign visitors ever get to see, our Snow, Ice, and Festivals trip offers you the chance to participate in the celebration of Tsagaan Sar, as well as two small festivals, the Ice Festival on northern Lake Huvsgul and the 1000 Camels Festival in the Gobi Desert. Because these events are locally organized and they are not popular tourist attractions, they are intimate and fun, and you can even participate in some of the competitions yourself if you wish. Highlights of the trip include frozen Lake Huvsgul (bring your skates!), the River of Ice, and lambing and kidding season in the Gobi. A true cultural adventure in every sense.
