{"product_id":"lake-forest-lodge-420022","title":"Lake Forest Lodge","description":"\u003cp\u003eKhuvsgul Lake runs along Mongolia's northern edge, a body of water so large that herders once called it Mother Ocean. Lake Forest Lodge sits on its shore, backed by larch trees and the open taiga that spreads north toward Siberia. The lake itself reaches depths of 267 metres and stretches 136 km end to end, giving the camp a horizon of water on one side and forest on the other. It is a quiet base, not a resort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRooms are traditional gers, each fitted with a private bathroom and basic comforts rather than dressed up as anything else. Meals are cooked fresh and served with evening bonfires down by the water. Guests can go out on the lake by boat, walk the hills above camp for wider views, or ride out to visit families who herd yaks nearby. Horses are kept for riding, and evenings sometimes end with local games or a Mongolian film shown at camp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinters here turn the lake to ice up to 3 metres thick by late February, though most stays fall in the warmer months when the taiga is green and the water shows its blue-green colour by depth. You can hear the forest at night more than any engine or road. It is remote, and the lodge treats that as the point rather than an inconvenience to manage around.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43868304867387,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/AHRPTWmeiTOaxXUbTyA3TVDVMuZ_EVeaHkp0RPOukarZ0wW-r_dp7AgGIuJuPrU69gRhY1n8M6-xw-U2R0J5uFMPYZuPLB3uCWvEHOKkiGs7Jquh8urriHezYcfZWnhnqMKMby4xg4QH_w4800-h4800.jpg?v=1785179346","url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/products\/lake-forest-lodge-420022","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
