Mongolia: In the Shadow of Genghis Khan (Horse Trek)
13 days, Mon 09 Aug 2010 to Sat 21 Aug 2010
Mongolia is a destination of many exciting adventures. On this tour you will visit the cultural city of Ulaanbaatar before being whisked away to where some say Heaven and Earth fuse into one in Eastern Mongolia. We drive out to the fascinating southern edge of the Southern Taiga where we meet our horsemen and horses and ride into the Steppe. Then we have nine fabulous days exploring – eight on horseback – as we roam the Mongolian expanse. On our western style saddles we’ll ride through a range of spectacular scenery, untouched for generations by the developing hand. We travel through lush green meadows where we can stop and enjoy local tea with the nomadic Mongol families, witnessing their simple daily routines. We will then ride from one beautiful alpine lake to another, surrounded by mountains and scenery unaffected since Genghis roamed here nearly 800 years ago.
