You can fish and swim but we must warn you, the water is very cold. When we were there in the middle of July, that it the highest hit of the year, in 30-35 above Celsius the water was still icy cold. Nobody dare to jump to get refreshed after being heated by scorching sun.
Hiking is non-negotiable must thing to do. It will take your breath away with awesome sceneries and fresh air. You are going to love it. Horseback trekking is the alternative choice for those who are a bit lazy and tired but do not want to miss the beauty of the nature and fresh air not to mention the opportunities to meet the local people and their well preserved culture and lifestyle.
Khuvsgul travel Mongolia is your best guide.
