In a few words

Embark on a unique, self-guided horseback adventure in the heart of Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, in the Khentii Mountains, the historical cradle of Chinggis Khaan. This wild and unspoiled region immerses you in the authentic pastoral nomadic life , paced by the movements of herds of yaks and horses . Each day is an immersion in landscapes of endless steppes , wooded valleys, and larch forests , far from civilization.

This hike is also an invitation to birdwatching: cranes, birds of prey , and other iconic birds find refuge here, making this region a paradise for ornithology enthusiasts. The highlight of this trek is the arrival at the glacial lake Khagiin Khar , a true gem nestled in a verdant setting, promising an unforgettable stop.

Without a support vehicle, you'll enjoy a fully immersive experience, guided by the rhythm of the horse and the convivial atmosphere of the bivouacs. A timeless adventure , to be lived intensely amidst the breathtaking horizontal expanse of Mongolia's vast landscapes.

The highlights

  • Professional support from a local French-speaking guide and equestrian guide
  • A cultural welcome among nomadic families who raise horses, sheep and yaks
  • Arrival at the glacial lake Khagiin Khar nestled between pristine forests and mountains
