Overview

Beginning on the remote western frontier and ending in the modern capital, this extraordinary overland expedition crosses the entire breadth of Mongolia, revealing one of Asia's last great wildernesses in all its remarkable diversity. The journey begins among the snow-capped summits of the Altai Tavan Bogd, where Kazakh eagle hunters, Tuvan herders, and Mongolia's highest mountains preserve traditions and landscapes little changed for centuries. Gradually traversing the immense Great Lakes Depression, the volcanic highlands of the Khangai Mountains, and the fertile valleys of the ancient Mongol Empire, the expedition reveals an astonishing succession of alpine peaks, crystal-clear lakes, hidden rivers, extinct volcanoes, vast grasslands, and sacred monasteries before concluding in Ulaanbaatar, where Mongolia's rich history meets its dynamic present. Combining spectacular hiking, exceptional cultural encounters, remarkable wildlife, and some of the country's finest historical monuments, this journey offers perhaps the most complete introduction to Mongolia available in a single expedition. Recommended months for Mongolia Horse Riding Tour are June, July and August. Please contact us for more details.
