I really loved how detailed and enthusiastic the mycologist was when sharing information. If the same concept is organized in other regions, I definitely plan to participate. And Lake Khanbulan was simply magnificent ✨

I joined the tour with my 3 children. It was very interesting, and the forest was breathtakingly beautiful. Every time the kids found mushrooms, their excitement knew no bounds. Towards the end, we learned so much about mushrooms, and throughout the tour, the biologist shared fascinating facts. Special thanks to Nurlana and Gulshan, they supported us tremendously during the hike. They were very warm and friendly with the children, watched over them, and ensured their safety. The group was very welcoming. Thank you for wonderful autumn memories!
