Horseriding through central Mongolia
To see deeper into the country without stretching your holiday limit, and spend plenty of time riding horses? Here is what you’re looking for. The tour starts from UB, after a half day drive to Central Part of the country, enjoy the countryside where sand dunes line with rocky mountains and camels, horses and cattle graze in the river valley, all together reflected in the small pond. Meet your riding guide for dinner and prepare for the next day’s departure. Ride through the mountain steppe areas for two and half days, away from the city life, away from all the noise, away from everything except a few herders’ homes and their animals. Arrive at the ger camp for shower and rest. Drive back to UB on the next day.
Duration: 5 day
