Horse riding

A horseback riding tour that offers an authentic experience of Mongolia's nomadic way of life is a cultural and educational activity organized with a professional guide under special instruction and safety training to ensure safe travel across natural rugged terrain.


Mongolia is one of the few countries in the world where its equestrian culture has remained alive to this day. With more than three million horses, horseback riding in this country is not merely a means of transportation, but an inseparable part of the nomadic lifestyle and philosophy. By joining local herding families on horseback rides across the vast steppe, mountains, and river valleys, travelers will experience the true sense of freedom in the boundless open landscape.

There are no fences, obstacles, or the hustle and bustle of city life here. Only you, your horse, and the endless horizon.
