Frontier Adventure - Outer Mongolia Horseback Trek

If you traversed this mighty country Mongolia, from East to West across its expanse of over one and a half million square kilometers, you would not cross one single fence or tarmacked road. It's wild, unfarmed, sparsely populated and, amazingly beautiful. Mongolia's vast open wilderness, clear air, and sunshine combined with the magnificent fence-free riding experience makes for a heady adventure holiday not to be missed!

There is no destination in the world, we think you will agree, that can parallel Mongolia for a horseback trek! Will4Adventure proudly present Outer Mongolia by horseback!

Outline Itinerary

Timing
This expedition is timed with a view to getting the best of Mongolia's weather and culture with the Naadam festival. Visibility should be fine, and the chance of rain low. However, bring waterproofs as advised in the packing list, and warm clothes for the chilly evenings.

Equipment
The kit list specifically required for this expedition will be posted to you in our client's expedition handbook. Largely speaking little is required of you - a 3 season sleeping bag and a set of waterproofs may be the only things you need to buy prior to departure - plus some riding boots once you set foot in Mongolia, (which make an excellent souvenir for taking home).

Personal Preparation
Complete beginners should not be put off trying this for an experience though it would definitely help if you spend a little time and money on one or two horse riding lessons. (If anything this will help you gain some confidence around horses which is key to learning the skills for riding and operating with them out in the field). The local wranglers who accompany us on the trek are highly skilled and will work hard to see that you enjoy yourself at whatever level you are presently at.

Roughing it
All our trips involve a degree of 'roughing it'. On trek, showers are rarely available, though we always camp by the lake or by a river for a fresh water swim! Food is basic and is a simple fare incorporating fresh local lamb or beef. Vegetarians can be catered for - but quite honestly if this is your diet, you should not expect any great meals - vegetables and fruit are few and far between. The hotels we use in Ulaan Baatar and Murun are clean and comfortable and good places to relax, while not ostentatious.

Maximum number of places on this trip
The number of places available on this trip are limited to a maximum of twelve (12) people.
