Its water is crystal clear and fresh. The reflections of larch forests and majestic mountains in the lake water are amazing. Living in the National Park are members of the Khalkh, Buriad and Darkhat ethic groups, and in the taiga forest and forest- steppe live the Tsaatan Reindeer herders. These people use reindeers for transporting supplies, riding and milking have done so for centuries.
