TRIP SCHEDULE

Day 1: Transfer from Ulaanbaatar to home camp and beginning of horse trek tour

Departure from Ulaanbaatar to home camp in the morning, located 2 hours east of the city. Meeting the crew, befriending and packing the horses , followed by a lunch at home camp finishes the preparation, so that we are able to begin our trip. From now on, overnight stays will be primarily in tents.

 Day 2 – Day 5: En route to Tunkhel

We pass through taiga forests, cross rivers, ride through the steppe and along the tracks of the Trans-Siberian railway for a while. After 150km on horse, we reach Tunkhel where we rest in a simple, but cosy wood hut (no running water but electricity).

Day 6: Tunkhel hut

Take a day to relax. Whoever is keen can explore the surrounding area by joining a 4 to 5 hour long ridge walk in the transitioning terrain between mountain steppe and Taiga forest.

Day 7 – Day 11: Horseback riding

Well rested, we resume our journey on horseback and follow a different route back to home camp that awaits us 150km away. By now, you will be comfortably familiar with your horse so that you can absorb sensations and views even better. On the day of arrival at home camp, we well say farewell to the crew and the horses. After a meal, you will return to Ulaanbaatar where you check in at a hotel of choice.

Day 12: Resumption to individual travel plans
