Know More about Mongolia Horse Riding Trips Offered By Mongolian Travel Agencies

Mongolia is a dream destination for serious riders, with its endless horizons and wild landscapes. The safest and most efficient way to enjoy the country’s riding trails is to join a comprehensive Mongolia horse trek tour. You will get to explore spectacular scenery, hidden trails, and wilderness terrain. There are all kinds of Mongolia horse riding trips short, long, full-on riding, and combination of horse riding and overland journeys.

Note that most Mongolia horse riding trips are expeditionary by nature and therefore don’t include vehicle support. The travel agency will provide one ‘pack horse’ for carrying provisions and equipment per two riders.

Interestingly, Mongolian horses are relatively short (about 13 hands high) and have disproportionately large heads, but are very strong. A good travel agency will we source your horse and wrangler from reliable local herdsmen. Each horse is carefully inspected in terms of stamina, speed, size, and temperament.

Eating and Sleeping During a Mongolia Horse Trek

Your travel agency should provide you high-quality rest mats and tents as well as access to a dining tent. Three high-quality dishes will be served daily, prepared by the cook who accompanies the trip. Western tastes are catered for, so you can expect a hearty breakfast of porridge, pancakes, bread and jam, bacon, tea, coffee, and juice. Lunch typically means sandwiches, salads, rice dishes and cold noodles, plus chocolate and fruits. Meaty soups and stir-fry dishes are usually served for dinner. Drinking water typically filtered from nearby rivers and fresh water streams will be provided.

Communications and Safety during a Mongolia Horse Riding Trip

Because you will journey to remote destinations during the trek, mobile communication may be compromised. A good Mongolia travel agency can provide emergency satellite phones for safety. The guide will also carry topographic maps for review and reference aside from a GPS handset.

Should there be medical emergencies, evacuation will be provided. The guide also carries fully-equipped first aid kits for smaller medical emergencies that don’t require evacuation.
