Horse riding holidays and trail rides in Asia

Asia is the birthplace of the ancient horse - the Przewalski horse still roams free in the wilds of Mongolia - and horses are intricately woven throughout its history. Horse riding holidays in Asia offer a unique chance to immerse yourself in the culture and traditions of local people - Buddhist festivals in Tibet or horse and camel fairs in Rajasthan. Riding trails lead you through spectacular high mountain scenery in Ladakh or Kyrgyzstan or across deserts and steppes in Mongolia and India. A riding holiday in Asia is a true adventure.

It was a good combination of riding in the high mountains in beautiful yak land and also see some temples and cities and the pandas (we did a modified version of the trip). Tashi was a fantastic guide who satisfied... Read all

  • Riding the steppes of Khentii
    June 2024 Heather aged 50
    Riding horses in Mongolia has been a dream for many years and the trip booked with Equus Journeys made the experience everything I hoped for and more. Mongolians don't name their horses but reference them by their colour. My horse was a dapple gray and a beautiful ride. It must be noted that it does take a few days... Read all

  • Celestial Mountain Trail
    July 2023 Vesselin aged 52

Prepare for a lot of rain and cold. Highly recommended for the adventurous traveler who doesn't mind to rough it for a couple of... Read all
