We also only take small groups – between 6-8 people, depending on the trip

An alternative to the ‘go-to’ Tavanbogd area of Western Mongolia, but no less stunning, this trek explores the craggy hills and deep cut gorges of Khatu Valley, the open plains at the foot of Tsambagarav Mountain, and the lush glacial valleys of its National Park before reaching the verdant shores of the fast-flowing Hovd River.

NORTHERN TRAILS
A spectacular varied riding trip through some of Northern Mongolia’s most stunning wilderness scenery – and the perfect antidote to the well-trodden trails to the west of Lake Khovsgol offered by most standard tours.

Designed in conjunction with a local horseman and his extended nomadic family connections, we intersperse camping with nomadic homestays en route for a rounded cultural experience. The trip culminates with some optional kayaking and 2 days on the lesser-visited east side of Lake Khovsgol – trip 1 also coincides with a local rural Naadam Festival.
