Horse sledding
Posted By : Admin/699
In Summer, Lake Khövsgöl is covered with a thick layer of ice (more than 2 metres, 6,56 feet). Besides, lorries sometimes rather take the lake instead of the very hard coastal tracks. Nomads also move on the lake with a horse sledge. The sledge is used to carry firewood and supplies from the neighbouring villages.
Today, sledges are a wonderful way to discover the area of Khovsgol and to walk on the frozen lake. Two persons sit on the back of the sledge, and the driver horse rides in the front of it.
There's no difficulty in this activity and you don't need any physical skills. You just have to wear warm clothes, and let's slide on the frozen lake !
