Mongolia is undeniably a land of horses. Horses have always been integral to the lives, culture, and history of Mongolian nomads. Remarkably, it was on the backs of these sturdy horses that Chinggis Khaan managed to conquer half of the world. Thus, Mongolia is an ideal destination for passionate riders and horse enthusiasts. This journey includes extensive riding, starting from the shores of Khuvsgul Lake and extending to the Taiga, the home of reindeer herders. While the trails are generally gentle, they become more challenging and adventurous as you venture further into the extreme north. Travelers will delight in the unspoiled nature, breathtaking landscapes, and the rich history and culture of the local people.
