The Eg river is the only outlet of huge Khovsgol lake, one of Mongolia´s top destinations. It starts as an alpine river with clear, slightly blue water and quite a few but easy rapids. It flows through some of the most beautiful landscape of Mongolia, wooded hills with rocky outcroppings and green lush meadows. The further it gets to the South the drier the climate and the more the steppe takes over.As the crow flies a good 400 km to the south the Eg flows into the Selenge river and the Selenge finally into Lake Baikal.
