Uncover Mongolia's Majestic Terrain with Horse Trek Mongolia
Ready for an adventure? Experience river crossings, navigate dense brush, and explore serene forests on horseback. Some terrains may challenge you with steep climbs and descents, while others let you stride freely across the vast Mongolian steppe. Though we ride for 5-6 hours daily, we ensure plenty of breaks for rest, photos, or relaxation.
When evening falls, the real magic begins. Enjoy starlit skies, engaging fireside chats, a refreshing cup of tea, or even a glass of red wine if that's more your style. Join us for a genuine Mongolian equestrian experience.
