Lake Tolbo Nuur

Western Mongolia is one of the most picturesque areas of the country. Desert landscapes are interspersed here with snow-capped peaks, in which fresh lakes and pure mountain springs lurk. Here at an altitude of more than two thousand meters is a fresh lake Tolbo-nuur.

With a total area of about ninety kilometers, it is rather shallow and only in some places reaches 12 meters. Tolbo Nuur is one of the favorite places for ecotourism and fishing. On the shore of the lake still live several nomadic families, which can stay after a long transition.

For fishermen in general, the most expansive. Here there is a harius, Mongolian Ottoman, sultan and many others. In one hour, you can catch up to four kilograms of fish here, which according to local guides is a very unsuccessful and modest catch.
