Flight to Moron
Today we will catch morning flight to Moron, province centre of Khovsgol region. After an hour and half flight at Moron airport you will be picked up by our team and drive north to our fishing spot Alag Tseel River, situated in Darkhad Valley and get settled comfortably in your camp.
The Darkhad Valley, located northwest of Khovsgol Lake is situated between the Ulaan Taiga and Khoridol Saridag mountain ranges. It is at an altitude of 1600 m above sea level and covers an area of 4300 km².
The valley is rich in lakes and rivers, the biggest of which are Tsagaan Lake and Shishged River, respectively. The area is famous for its natural beauty, but relatively remote and inaccessible even by Mongolian standards. The remote & wild region is home to Mongolian minor ethnic group known as Tsaatan or Dukha, one of the last remaining reindeer herders of the world. Their unique way of life is centred and structured around reindeer and guided by Shamanism, ancestral spiritual practice based on nature worship. During your stay in the region we will have a chance to visit Tsaatan settlement and discover their life and the influence of Shamanism on their daily life.
