Bayan lgii tolbo lake


Tolbo Lake is a freshwater lake in Mongolia. The lake is located about 50 kilometres (30 mi) south of Ölgii, on the main road between Ölgii and Khovd.

Elevation is at 2080 meters high. The shoreline is treeless with few mosquitoes and a few families camp here every summer.

The lake covers 185 square kilometers of land.

The lake was the site of the Battle of Tolbo Lake (1921) during the Russian Civil War where Bolsheviks and Mongolian allies defeated an army of White Russians.
