  • Day 1 1: ULAANBAATAR - No riding

    HOTEL BAYANGOL
    You will arrive in Ulaanbaatar early in the morning and get settled in to your hotel - a 3* hotel with a double room and private bathroom. For your first lunch, you will be able to go out and explore Mongolia's capital and try one of the local cafés or restaurants. With its Soviet style architecture, atmosphere and wide main roads, Ulaanbaatar, once Urga, hides numerous cultural riches and exceptional museums. We recommend taking the time to visit the museum of national history which will allow you an insight into the rich and, oft, violent past of this fascinating, proud and strong country; the museum covers the prehistoric era of this Soviet region, including the exploits and conquests of Genghis Khan.

    In the evening, you will have dinner at your hotel and receive a briefing from your interpreter on how your expedition will unfold.

  • Day 2 2: ULAANBAATAR - TUUL RIVÈR - BOSOG PRAIRIE - No riding

    KHOGNO yurts camp
    Your day will begin with a visit to the Buddhist monastery of Gandan where the monks come together to pray every morning - it is one of the largest active monasteries in Mongolia. Mongolians primarily practise Tibetan Buddhism with the Dalai Lama as the spiritual head of their religion.

    You will then head out for the steppes, a high plateau grassland plains, and the start point of your ride. The last vestiges of civilisation will recede, little by little, as you delve into the vast untouched countryside, home only to nomadic families and their livestock. You will stop for a picnic lunch on the Hadan Hoshuu plain and have a chance to pause and absorb the wild empty beauty of the scrublands. The path you take will wind its way through the forest pass of Zamtiin in the high valley of the Tuul River.

    On your arrival on the Bosog prairie, you will meet your team, the yaks and the horses you will be riding throughout your trip; it is here, on the banks of a bubbling and rushing stream, that you will spend your next two nights. Your yurts will have already been set up and warmed - each yurt sleeps 2 to 4 people and comes equipped with camp beds and a central wood-burning stove for the cool nights on the plains.

  • Day 3 3: BOSOG PRAIRIE - BARUUNBAYAN STREAM - BOSOG PRAIRIE - 5-6 hours riding

    KHOGNO yurts camp
    After a comfortable night spent in your yurt, the Mongolian team will then attribute the horses and you will prepare to set off on your adventure through the sacred region of Khan Khentii. The Mongolian guide accompanying you is both warm and knowledgeable and, with the aid of your English speaking interpreter, will introduce you to the nomadic families you meet along the route.

    Setting out on horseback, you will ride out beyond the Bosog prairie, towards the south of the Tuul River, there, where the Siberian forest marks the transition into the lush grasslands. Riding through the undulating valleys and forests up to high ridges where the landscape will open out before you, you will enjoy stunning panoramas. You will ride on to meet up with the yak caravan and continue downstream along the Baruunbayan until you reach a wide prairie close to the River Tuul. In the afternoon, you will ford the river on horseback and explore the area whilst the yak and logistics team continue onwards towards the Bosog meadows and your camping ground. You will enjoy a traditional Mongolian dinner in the mess yurt and then head back to your comfortable yurt for the night.

  • Day 4 4: BOSOG PRAIRIE - BARUUNBAYAN VALLEY - 5-6 hours riding

    KHOGNO yurts camp
    The yurt camp will be displaced in its entirety today, and thus begins your first taste of the true nomadic lifestyle lived throughout the Khan Khentii massif. The yurts will be dismantled, folded and loaded onto the carts which in turn are yoked to the yaks. After a breakfast out in the fresh plateau air, you will add your baggage and provisions to the carts and head off for the day's ride.

    Riding out north towards the mountain chain of Khentii across a ridge covered with scattered forests, you will break away from the caravan in order to make the most of the fantastic views and glorious atmosphere on the plains. The logistics team and yaks will head to the camping ground in the Barrunbayan Valley where they will set up your camp for the next two nights.

  • Day 5 5: BARUUNBAYAN VALLEY - GUNJIN SUM MONASTERY - BARUUNBAYAN - 5-6 hours riding

    KHOGNO yurts camp
    Today's ride will take you up to the Gunjin Sum monastery, a temple built for a Manchu princess, the ruins of which are hidden within the forest. At the end of the afternoon, you will make your way back down to the yurts next to the Baruunbayan Valley where you will enjoy more traditional Mongolian cuisine and retire to your cosy yurt!

  • Day 6 6: BARUUNBAYAN VALLEY - ZUUNBAYAN VALLEY - 5-6 hours riding

    KHOGNO yurts camp
    Once more the camp will be packed up and loaded on the carts to be relocated further into the grassy scrubland. While the caravan heads through the valley, riders will head out on one of the most beautiful routes of the expedition; the trail will take you along the wooded crests and ridges looking out over the valley floor. The larch forests, with the occasional pine making itself seen, which pervade in the region are the refuge of rare species of birds, most commonly the black grouse and the black-billed grouse.

    Your camp for the evening will have been set up close to the Zunnbayan River, a tributary of the Tuul River, where you will spend the following two nights.

  • Day 7 7: ZUUNBAYAN VALLEY - KHENTII MOUNTAINS - ZUUNBAYAN VALLEY - 5-6 hours riding

    KHOGNO yurts camp
    You will spend the day on horseback exploring the wooded Khentii mountains up to the sparse upper forest limits with backdrops and views that, wherever you look, will take your breath away. You will spend your last evening in the camp by the river enjoying a beautiful sunset with the horses grazing behind you and, if you wish, taking a refreshing dip in the river!

  • Day 8 8: ZUUNBAYAN VALLEY - JALMAN PRAIRIE - 5-6 hours riding

    Yurt camp Jalman Meadows
    As the horsemen load the carts and direct the caravan of yaks off towards your next stop for the night, you will ride out to explore. You will set out, on horseback, in the direction of the Sharbulag Valley, crossing the source of the river Tuul and enjoying the tranquil and immense wilderness. Mid-afternoon, you will ride to the yurt community of Jalman Meadows.

    Set amongst a scenic backdrop of flowered grasslands and wooded hills, this eco-camp for yurts is entirely dismantled at the end of the tourist season and completely embodies the ideas of sustainable and fair-trade tourism championed in Mongolia.

  • Day 9 9: JALMAN PRAIRIE - Riding optional

    Yurt camp Jalman Meadows
    You will spend today in and around the Jalman Meadows' ground, with a variety of activities to choose from.

    You may decide to explore the countryside surrounding the camp on either a full-day or half-day ride, or relax around the yurts and, from the camp's yurt-library, borrow one of the fascinating books on topics such as the epic reign of Genghis Khan, contemporary Mongolian culture or equestrian culture in Mongolia. You may be tempted to head down to the river and try your hand at whitewater rafting (tyres are loaded onto the carts for you and are taken to the river by yaks), whilst others may prefer to unwind in the sauna before plunging into the cooling river.

    Whatever you choose, you will head back in the evening to the mess-yurt and enjoy your final alfresco dinner high up on the plains before retiring to your comfortable yurt for the night.

  • Day 10 10: JALMAN MEADOWS - ULAANBAATAR - No riding

    HOTEL BAYANGOL
    After breakfast, you will say your goodbyes to the team and the horses, and be driven back to Ulaanbaatar (around a 4-hour drive). You will then have free time in the city to explore. You will enjoy a farewell dinner at a local restaurant. You will spend the night in a 3* hotel in the centre of Mongolia's capital.

  • Day 11 11: DEPARTURE - No riding

    In the morning, you will be transferred to the airport for your flight back home, usually via Moscow or Istanbul. If you wish to fly via Seoul, the flight leaves the evening of the day before or the end of day 12 - in this case lunch and dinner on this day will not be included in the trip price and there may be a supplementary charge for you to have access to your hotel room throughout the day.

Equestrian info

Horses

Horses of legend and victors in battle, the Mongolian horse is small, forward going, hardy and docile and is perfectly adapted to horse riding expeditions across all types of terrain. These horses have a rare gentleness and sociability and they represent no particular technical riding challenges. Certain horses are more lively than others, however, the team will select, with great care and attention, the horse with the temperament best suited to you and your riding style.

You will ride with a caravan that includes horses in reserve so that you can change mount during the long days of riding.

Guide & local team

Your guide for the expedition will be a local English speaker. The rest of the team is usually made up of a minimum of 2 local nomadic herdsmen who will ride with you throughout the length of your ride as well as a cook who will prepare delicious and hearty meals. The horsemen come from Batbadrakh families and they live in a style traditional to the areas in which you will be riding. When there are four or more riders in the group, a Mongolian doctor will also ride along.

Minimum riding ability

Minimum riding ability

This horse riding holiday is best suited to experienced riders who are confident riding outdoors across a variety of terrain for several hours at a time.

For this ride, there is a maximum rider weight of 90kg/ 14st 2lbs/ 198 lbs. If you weigh more than this and wish to ride, please contact us and we will advise on a case-by-case basis.

Pace

The pace of the ride will alternate between a walk and a trot with occasions for unforgettable gallops across the immense Mongolian plains. The ride will frequently unfold at a brisk, plenty of trots and gallops, and often sustained pace.

The horses will not provide any particular challenges, although certain are more energetic than others. You must pay close attention to how you use your saddlebags and change into your waterproofs - never getting dressed in the saddle, as the horses are not used to it and may be spooked.

Tacking ability and participation

Each horse is tacked and untacked by a member of the Mongolian team. Every rider is welcome to participate in the setting up of the camp if they wish (pitching and taking down the yurts).

Trip conditions and Requested experience

You must have a good level of fitness to take part in this trip due to the varied terrain you will be riding across and the long days in the saddle. You will be riding trails where the altitude fluctuates between 1400 and 2500 m.

The ride does not rely on any motor vehicle support. They utilise wooden carts pulled by yaks, for a minimum impact on the environment and the most authentic nomadic experience.

You must also be aware that you will be riding in isolated areas of the country, the nearest medical centre will be at least a 1/2 day journey by car.

Previous experience of a horse riding trip over several days is undoubtedly a plus; however, it is not obligatory. Riders who do not mount regularly must get riding fit before the trip's departure.

You must be ready and open to a different style of riding and to understand that Mongolians have a very different relationship with their horses than we do in the UK. Travelling to a country where you will encounter a completely different culture and mentality means agreeing to accept these difference and also to respect them.

Arriving for the ride in good physical condition is the first step in ensuring a respectful exchange with the local population: your well-being speaks volumes, and much like a smile, can break down barriers right from the word go!

Equestrian equipment

For riders measuring over 1m 90 (6ft 2in) we recommend that you bring your own pair of adjustable stirrups as the local stirrups, while adjustable, are often limited in terms of length.
We recommend our riders to wear a helmet to the correct standard and you should bring your own to ensure a proper fit.

Travel info

Comfort

Whilst riding the route on horseback, you will stay in 2-3 person yurts with individual camp beds and mattresses. Bed linen provided. Your camp each night will also include: a mess yurt with wood-burning stove, table and chairs - a WC tent (compost toilet) - a shower tent (hot water available). Camp is moved every two days.

While at the Jalman Meadows camping ground, you will stay in 2-4 person yurts equipped with individual full bedding and a wood-burning stove. You will share a bathroom/ shower room - hot water is usually available. You will have your meals in a mess yurt on the campground. The camp also has a large library of books on Mongolian culture available to all visitors.

In Oulan Bator, you will stay in a 3* standard hotel in a double room with a private bathroom.

Meals

The food is simple, hearty and is usually made up of fresh local produce prepared by a cook who travels with you and will adapt the recipes to a more western palate. Evening meals (soup, main, dessert) are usually served around small camping tables with stools. At midday, you will have picnic lunches. Often the team will buy a sheep at some point throughout the ride to provide fresh meat for your meals. For breakfast, you will usually have fresh yoghurt bought from the herdsmen in the area.

Vegetarian diets can be accommodated with advance notice.

Water:
Do not to drink water from unknown sources. The cook will boil water each day for you to fill up your water bottles but you should also bring water-purification tablets such as Micropur.

Climate

Mongolia enjoys around 260 days of sun per year!! The majority of the country receives very little rainfall, a yearly average being around 200 - 350 mm in the north, an amount which decreases as you head further south. The country is located in the heart of a system of high pressure fronts (anticyclone) which means that the skies are often completely clear of clouds. In fact, there is only significant cloud cover during the summer which has led to the Mongolia sometimes being referred to as 'blue sky country'.

On the other hand, the country also plays host to a continental climate of extremes due to the country's geographical profile: vast semi-desert plateaus at an average altitude of over 1500 metres.

Winters are harsh and long (from October to April), with temperatures dropping to - 30° or -40°C in January and February. In the Gobi desert, it is not unusual to see snowfall up until April, and certain lakes remain frozen up until June; you will start to see the first signs of winter at around the end of September.

Summers in Mongolia are marked by a short rainy season, from mid-July to September, characterised by rain spells that are light and brief and generally take place at the end of the day. Temperatures are mild in the north of the country and extremely hot in the Gobi desert in the south. Due to the high altitude, the evenings are cool, even in the summer months.

Winds are often strong, especially during the short spring, where they also bring with them sand storms. On top of this, the changes in weather can be vast and sudden. The temperature differences between day and night are often significant; it is not unheard of, in spring and autumn, to pass from - 5°C at the beginning of the day to + 30°C at noon.

The country also experiences dzud or zud, a Mongolian term for a severe winter; a white dzud signals heavy snowfall which impedes access to the grazing pastures for the livestock and a black dzud means that a lack of snowfall and freezing temperatures create a drought and the livestock suffer from dehydration.

Depending on the region of Mongolia you are choosing to visit, the best time to travel there is between May and the end of September.

Tips

Tipping is always welcome if you are happy with the services provided to you by the local guides and drivers. Any tip given should be in line with the cost of living in the country. For Mongolia, you could factor in a tip of around £30 - 40. Tipping remains completely at your discretion.

Sustainable tourism

  1. Travel light. It's a little known fact, but the lighter you pack, the better for the environment as heavy bags will produce higher emissions (when flying a plane or driving a car!).
  2. Reduce plastic waste. Take your favorite reusable bottle with you. Avoid single-use bags, cups, or straws.
  3. Preserve nature. Always take your rubbish with you during the ride and recycle them. Leave all the flowers or plants as you found them, and never get too close when observing wildlife. Make sure to use eco-friendly products such as body wash or laundry detergent (if camping) to protect both your skin and the environment.
  4. Choose your experiences carefully. Respect animal life by not participating in any activities that abuse wild animals (shows, elephant rides, etc.).
  5. Support local populations. Buy local handicrafts, be respectful of customs, and learn about the culture of local communities.
  6. Share! Raise awareness among your family and friends about sustainable tourism.

The yurt


The yurt is a traditional type of accommodation in Mongolia. Nomadic Mongolian people have been living in yurts for more than 5,000 years, and that is also where you will be living during this horse trek. Yurts are easily set up and taken down. They are extremely light and can easily be moved from one camp to another, transported by camels or yaks, still a very common mode of transportation to this day.

The size depends on the number of walls, on average 4 or 5, for a diameter that can reach 5 to 7 m and a height of 2.5 m on average. At the center of the circle, two masts support a round armature called a toono, from which spread several wooden beams. The entrance always face the south, while the walls and the roof are made of several layers of felts and solid white canvas. The masters and the men usually stay on the western side of the yurt, while women occupy the eastern side. Guests sit according to their ages, the eldest at the back and the young generation closer to the entrance. 

Staying in yurts is a comfortable option for those who would like to experience a riding holiday in Mongolia, without having to suffer the ups and downs of a camping ride!
