Horseback riding is a way of life in Mongolia and
one of the most popular outdoor pursuits for visitors.
We can arrange short or long riding trips across the
steppes and you are free to combine this with any
other tour. Whether you have ridden before or not,
our staffs will help make your experience an enjoyable
one. The best time to ride here is June to October
when the horses are at their best. Come visit us and
see just how much fun a person can have on horseback!
