Horseback ride in Mongolia

HORSEBACK TRIP IN MONGOLIA
INDICATIVE ITINERARY *

Day 1: Welcome in Mongolia ! Your English speaking translator is waiting for you at Ulan Bator airport at at 7:50 am or 9:20 am (arrival of Turkish Airlines flight, time depending on season). No lunch included. Immediate departure for the Mongolian Steppe! A short 1h30 drive takes you to the endless plains dotted with the yurts of the nomadic herders. The first herds of horses roaming free cross the road in front of your vehicle. Here you are, in Mongolia ... For this first night in Mongolia, you will sleep in a yurt camp in the wilderness (up to 4 riders per yurt - showers in a separate building).

Days 2 to 6: Horse riding trail in the Mongolian steppes. 5 days on horseback in the typical lanscapes of Central Mongolia. For this ride, we have selected the horses of a breeder who takes part to many Naadam races (he is a member of the Mongolian Equestrian Federation). His horses are fast and endurant even all of them are not always race horses. Guided by a nomadic herder, with the help of your English speaking translator, you will ride through steppes, hill and valleys, together with small mountains covered with larch forests. That's the Mongolia you have been dreaming of ... Many nomadic families live in this region, with their yurts and their herds of horses, cattle, goats and sheep. You will have the opportunity of discovering their traditional way of life. You will camp close to a nomadic family at least one night during the ride. The pace of the ride is quite fast, as the support vehicle carries all the luggage and joins the group for lunch and at the end of the day. You do not have to carry anything on your horse, which allows long and fast gallops in this very open terrain. Dinners and nights in tents. We chose the camping sites carefully, once in the middle of nowhere in huge steppes, another night close to a river, another night in the forest where we often hear wolves, and one night close to a nomadic family.

Day 7: End of the horse ride - Ulan Bator. Last half day on horseback in this beautiful part of Mongolia. Picnic lunch. Transfer to Ulan Bator, the rest of the afternoon is dedicated to shopping downtown, where you will find traditional clothing and objects of daily life. In the late afternoon, you will attend a show with traditional dances, music and songs from Mongolia, especially the amazing Khoomei. No dinner included, to let you choose among the varied dining opportunities offered by Ulan Bator. Night at Dream hotel or similar (2* - twin or triple room).

Day 8 - Ulan Bator. Breakfast and transfer to airport on time for flights departing after 7 am.

rando a cheval Mongolie

horse riding in Mongolia The yurt camp:
You will sleep in traditional yurts (called gers in Mongolia), furnished with beds for 1 person (from 2 to 5 beds / yurt), a small table and a stove. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to have individual yurts in most camps, so you should be prepared to share your yurt with other travelers in the group. Some camps offer yurts with a double bed, but their availability cannot be guaranteed. You will find showers, sinks and toilets in a common building. A restaurant provides breakfasts and meals. Yurt camps are the most comfortable accommodation available in Mongolia, but don't expect anything luxurious: hot water in showers is often unpredictable, electrical standards are quite "original", and food in restaurants depends on difficult supply conditions in these remote areas.

Hotel in Ulan Bator:
You are staying in a 3 or 4* hotel. Several hotels are used depending on availability. Always in the city center: to be able to enjoy the many possibilities offered by the capital, do your shopping at the Department Store which is open late at night, and allows you to have a wide choice of restaurants.
