Lake Khuvsgul in northern Mongolia, the "Switzerland of Mongolia."

Our ger is on the right and has a spectacular view of the lake as well as the beautiful mountains.
 
This is the deepest lake in Mongolia and sister lake to Lake Baikal in Russia.  We were not far from the border.  We were here for two nights and three days and I took lots of walks!

Sunrise!

The yak was not cooperating.

Yes, that's me and Morene ready to ride the famous Mongolian horses.  We were told they are not pets, have no names, semi-wild and don't make any sudden moves because they could just take off.  They are truly of Chinggis Khan!!!

We rode around part of the lake.

Our last view of the lake from the top.
