The Orchon Valley was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004, mainly because of the many monuments that can be found on the banks of the river valley. The Orchon is the longest river in Mongolia. It rises in the Changhai Mountains and flows mostly in a narrow valley with canyons, cascades and waterfalls.

Important information:

The Orchon River is home to pike, mirror carp, Baikal sturgeon, Siberian taimen, roach, minnows, golden carp, small whitefish and more. Lake Bón Cagaan nuur (Cagán nuur) is a waterless freshwater lake, which is fed by streams originating in the Ch angaj mountains. At the eastern end of the lake, at a distance of three kilometres, there is the beautiful volcanic crater Chorgo uul and the surrounding volcanic fields of black lava without greenery. The lava flowed from the crater to the lake, and when it reached the water, it stopped. Fissures and caves appear in the lava flow. The largest reaches 8 metres. The strange accumulation of lava on the shore allows a view from the deposits of porous basalt reaching the height of a grown man. Meanwhile, across the lake, flocks of cormorants and swans float peacefully. The picturesque view of the lake landscape and the opportunity to take a bath bring many visitors to these places. Many species of fish live in the lake.

General conditions: as our camp will be far from any city or town, participants need a strong sense of adventure, excellent fitness, fishing and hiking experience and a feel for other cultures. Previous camping experience is welcome. Vegetarians or people who need special diets or foods should inform us at least four weeks in advance so that we can prepare their food.
