Horsetrek for nine full days through the spectacular forests and meadows of Hovsgol Province. Designed for the more experienced horserider, the highlight of this journey will be visiting Tsaatans, members of the Turkic-speaking Tuvinian ethnic group known as Dukha. Tsaatan families herd domesticated reindeer in Hovsgol Province, using the reindeer primarily for transportation and milk, and live in teepees similar to those once used by Native Americans. Traveling through the beautiful Khoridal Saridag Mountains, our horsetrek will end at Lake Hovsgol, a crystal-clear alpine lake, known as Mongolia's "dark blue pearl."
You will be riding Mongolian horses, generally smaller than you may be used to, but legendary for their sturdy build, great stamina and ability to negotiate difficult terrain. Approximately six to eight hours will be spent in the saddle each day and we will provide traditional Russian cavalry-style saddles for each participant. The crew will include a bilingual Nomadic Expeditions guide, a camp cook, and a local Mongolian guide and horse wrangler.
