Mongolia Horse Tour

     Mongolia has been a country that is synonomis with exotic cultures, ancient religions, Ghengis Khan, triumphant horses and eventually a peaceful and nomadic way of life. The opportunity now exists to travel to this far away land and experience a way of life that has sustained the native people for centuries. Mongolia is filled with diverse landscapes featuring rivers, craggy mountains, odd rock formations, open prairies and vast distances that beckon an adventourous spirit to follow.

     At the beginning of the tour, we travel to the Arkhangai province where we greet our local guides and the horses. We then ride through the mountains and valleys, following the Orkhon river to arrive at Kharkhorin which was the ancient capital of Mongolia. This was the area chosen as the capital for the ancient empires of the Xiongnu (300 – 100 BC), the Turks (6th – 8th centuries AD), Uighurs (8th century) and Genghis Khan’s Mongol Empire (13th century). There are few places in eastern Asia of such great historical importance. View the interactive map and video
