Now for something completely different!

We have a brand new adventure experience now in development!  Leaving from UB we will drive to Hatgal stopping overnight along the way at the local hotel.  Once up at Hatgal, situated on the shore of the famed Blue Pearl of Mongolia - Lake Khovsgul we will proceed for 3 day and 2 night excursion across the vast expanse of frozen ice that is Lake Khovsgul in the winter. We will bring a ger along with us to set up and take down each day on the ice...and lots and lots of wood to keep warm.

Following that we will have 2 days in Hatgal

FULL ROUTE & TARRIFF BEING FINALIZED - PLEASE STAY TUNED!

​
 
This includes horse, guide, translator, tack, safety equipment, 3 meals and 2 snacks /day, coffee, tea & water, (alcohol extra) accommodation based on shared occupancy (tent), and return airport transfer.

Terrain includes river crossings, brush riding, and forest riding – including sometimes steep terrain both up and down and, of course, Mongolian steppe. Most days will include 5-6 hours of riding with ample time for rest breaks, photography or just relaxing. Evenings will include loads of star gazing, chatting around the fire (when we can build one) enjoying a cup of tea or a glass or red if you prefer. 

As always, Horse Trek Mongolia will donate 20% of the tariff  from this trek to support the children of the Children of the Peak Sanctuary Kindergarten.  See www.veloofoundation.com for details

Mongolian horses are very forward moving and responsive and if your experience or ability is not up to managing them, for your own safety you will be put on a lead for some or all of the trek. Please note that, as with all our treks, we will be proceeding into areas where medical coverage is sparse or non-existent and, in the event of an emergency your treatment may be delayed as a result.
