The idea of galloping across the endless steppes is a common dream of every rider. Mongolia offers many different conditions, from desert steppe to forested mountain rides for the keen rider. Mile upon mile virgin pasture land and mountain ranges with no boundaries, and often without tracks to follow, open up in front of you…
This horse riding holiday takes you to an inspiring part of the country, letting you gallop freely through the endless horizons of this historical land. You will meet your local horse guides and horses at the Ugii lake, where they will give helpful guidance for your riding adventure. Mongolian horses tend to be small, have tremendous stamina, and are well adapted to the harsh environment where they have survived over the centuries. The program offers some 20-30 km ride a day, depending on the terrain.
