Lake Khagiin Khar is a remote lake hidden in the deep interior forests of the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area, part of the Khentii wilderness northeast from Ulaanbaatar.
It is Mongolia’s only true wilderness in the sense that it is completely devoid of people and domestic animals. It is a realm of wolves, moose, red deer, gazelle, wild boar, lynx and brown bear. It is very rare to see any people during the journey in this area.
