Mongolia is a unique area of unsurpassed geographical
and human diversity, with forest, desert, steppe and lakelands
populated by over fifteen distinct ethnic groups. Horses are
woven into Mongolian song, verse and history. Infants are
taught to ride before they walk, and a young man’s prowess
is measured by his skill as a horseman. The 4 rides in Mongolia
are unique in terms of landscape, culture and pace. All are
ideal for an adventurous group to experience a way of life
unchanged since the days of the Golden Horde, when Ghengis
Khan’s cavalry created the largest empire the world has ever
known.
Karakorum
Ride with Naadam Festival proceeds through the
Khangai Mountain range in Central Mongolia which is drained
by some of the country's mightiest rivers. The Orkhon is the
most famous of them. For thousands of years the Orkhon and
its feeding rivers gave water and shelter to the nomadic peoples
and their animals. Until today their lifestyle has changed
little; they still herd their sheep with horses and yaks,
protecting them against the misfortune of the harsh weather
and wolves. Local horsemen will accompany you and take you
to their homeland and secrets of survival.
