Tsataan, July 2025 – (some places left)
Along the northern border of Mongolia with Siberia, lies the huge sweet water lake Hövsgöl. Around the lake we find large taiga forests, mountain steppe, and many rivers and marshes. It is also home to the Tsataan peoples, better known as the ‘reindeer people’, with their own language, religion and culture.
Highlights of the 2025 Expedition:
Organized by André van Eck, this expedition will be a fascinating exploration of an area extremely rich in biodiversity, both aquatic and on land. It encompasses Hövsgöl lake and its surrounding wetlands, mountain steppe, and vast Siberian taiga forests.
