Trip Summary
Khar Nuur Lake is 37 km long, 24 km wide, and 4.2 m in average depth. The sweetwater lake is located in the Khovd province in western Mongolia's Great Lakes Depression and is part of a group of lakes that were once part of a larger prehistoric lake that disappeared 5,000 years ago as the region became drier. Khar Nuur Lake has a single inflow – the Chono Kharaikh river, which creates a river delta and outflows to the Teel River. Khar Lake has a connection to Durgun Nuur south of it. After breakfast, leave for Lake Kharnuur 80 km to the west. Having birdwatching, boating on the lake, riding horses and camels, see the step ungulates in the vast steppes of Khomyn tal. Stay a night near the lake in a tent having a star gazing.
