Introducing Khovd City
Khovd city is a pleasant tree-lined place developed by the Manchus during their 200-year rule in Outer Mongolia. Somewhat more developed than other cities in western Mongolia, it boasts an Agricultural University and some food processing and textiles manufacturing. It also has the region’s busiest airport, one reason why so many tourists end up here.

The town offers a few sights to keep you busy for a day and some pleasant ger camps outside town. Shops are well stocked and there are plenty of jeeps, making this a good place to launch a trip to the Altai Mountains or the lakes region. Khovd city also boasts a significant population of Kazakhs – some local Kazakh women have set up a felt-making craft cooperative that is worth visiting.
