Horse Riding
In Mongolia there are around 20 million horses for a population of barely 2.8 million! That’s about seven horses per person! And in Mongolia horses go where roads and cars cannot, and where walkers would be exhausted by the rough terrain. It’s not just a means of transport to have a horse, it’s a necessity and a way of life. Don’t miss out on the chance to hop in the saddle and canter off across the steppe on a small but powerful Mongolian horse.
Experienced riders could journey to the Zavkhan aimag area in central Mongolia or the Altai Mountains in the west. The terrain in these areas is challenging, and difficult to get to, but the upside is the low level of tourism development and the pristine wilderness that calls out to be ridden across.
For novice riders the Khentii National Park in the north-east gives you a chance to cross high mountain passes, ford gushing rivers, ride through tundra and marvel at the beautiful scenery of the Khentii Mountain range.
