Mongolia Nomadic Horse Trekking Circuit

Orkhon Valley, Arkhangai Province, Mongolia · Mongolia

Moderate12 daysUnknown~£10 est.

Overview

Ride across the Mongolian steppe on Mongol horses — small, tough, and highly independent animals descended from the horses of Genghis Khan — following seasonal migration routes between ger camps across the Orkhon Valley and Khangai Mountains. Staying with nomadic families in gers (yurts), eating fermented mare's milk (airag), and helping with livestock rounds is the complete picture. The pace is 30-50 km per day; riders should be comfortable in the saddle for extended periods. The vast sky and 360-degree horizon are the defining visual experience of Mongolia.
