Riding and Star watching

TOUR OVERVIEW

There is no better way to explore Mongolia on horseback. This wonderful horse trekking trip takes you to the Khan Khentii mountains, one of the biggest and the most beautiful mountains of Mongolia, the sacred Tuul river, part of the Great Mongolian steppes and the Gun-Galuut nature reserve. You ride in the off road, off beaten and hidden trails. Horseback trekking takes place during summer, is a beautiful time to ride in the scenery, with warmest sunny days and cooler nights. We ride about 30 – 40km per day in hidden trails as a marsh, mud, wet meadows and traversing rivers on horseback. But it is not all the way, some route is very gently like dried valley of forested mountain. We stay overnight in the beautiful scenery camping spot, open fire under the starry nights. Feel the energy of the most unspoiled and unexplored mysterious area where nomads started to establish the biggest Empire in the world of mankind history.
