Enjoy the Novelty of Horse Riding In Mongolia on Your Tour

Apart from the nomadic culture, Mongolia is known for endless horizons and fantastic landscapes waiting to be explored. Horse riding is one of the activities that should be part of your itinerary when you visit Mongolia. An adventure or cultural visit to Mongolia is incomplete with the experience of riding its unique horses, which are known for their shorter stature yet robust and sturdy build. They look like ponies when compared to European horses, but don’t be fooled—they are very strong, with an amazing stamina that places them among the world's best horse breeds.

Mongolia is considered a must-visit place for avid horse riders. There are Mongolia tour operators that can arrange horse treks and horseback riding tours across the mountains, valleys, and steppes. Horse riding provides an alternative and one of a kind way to discover Mongolia, and it can make your trip more memorable and exciting.

The equipment used for Mongolian horse riding is considered special as it is inspired by traditional design and are reflective of the nomadic tradition, and heritage. Nomads are notably excellent riders themselves, and they start riding horse as early as childhood, even before they learn how to walk. They partake in horse racing festivals too, such as the Burentogtoh Horse Festival.

The best Mongolia tour operators can arrange an eight-day horse trek through various landscapes like shorelines, forested hills, open valleys, and inlands. Visits to local nomadic families, soaking in Bulnai's thermal springs, and camping are part of the experience. Day trips to Terelj National Park can include either an hour or two of horse riding. An adventure group tour like the Tsambagarav Trek has an option where you can have seven days of riding in the itinerary. A good Mongolia tour operator can arrange custom horse riding tours, too.
