To experience the originality of the Mongolian landscape, with the sheer endless expanse, the grass steppe and the nomads living isolated in it, but at the same time to be active, is the focus of this trip. The journey will be loosened up again and again by day hikes, or stages of several days on the horse.
We start our journey in the Hognon Han mountains. This small mountain range, on the edge of the Orkhon valley, is the starting point for exploring Central Mongolia. The Orkhon valley has always been a melting pot of different cultures. Even before Chingges Khan founded his capital “Karakorum” here, other, older cultures left their traces in the Orkhon valley. We will visit these old palaces and castles during this trip.
Walking through the almost untouched nature of Mongolia, allows a completely new perspective for the environment. Virtually at “eye level” with nature, the eye is trained for the little things along the way. The contact to the people living in this landscape becomes much more intensive.
On the way on the horseback, is for Mongolia, the most original form of travel. The vastness of the grasslands, formally invites. In cooperation with a horse breeder family, who will choose the best horses for you, the ride will lead you through the typical Mongolian grass steppe, while our luggage will be transported on a yak cart.
This trip is a combination trip, the larger distances are covered by vehicle, always loosened up by hiking and riding stages. For all parts of the program, you need an average physical condition. Horse riding experience is desirable.
