Big Skies Horse Trail

The vast, treeless steppes of Mongolia were the homeland of the largest herds of horses the world has ever seen. In the early days of mankind, somewhere in these steppes, nomads invented riding and opened up vast new horizons.

Joining a Mongolian ride means choosing to experience the life of the nomad and glimpsing a way of life so different from our own. The Mongolian people are famous for their hospitality and to spend some time with them is a privilege.

You ride through the homelands of your horse guides, where there are no fences, no tracks and no telegraph poles. The only signs of life are the nomadic herders you meet along the way.

For those who prefer the comfort of a bed each night rather than crawling into a two man tent we can now offer a “luxury” horse trail in Mongolia. You still experience the wonderful riding over wide open spaces, meeting the nomadic people who live here, but at night you stay in a spacious ger, on a made up bed with a stove for warmth on cold nights.

You normally stay two nights at each ger camp, some of which are set up as private camps and others are semi-permanent ger camps. A more varied menu and drinks will be provided. The group size on the Big Skies Horse Trail is at most eight riders.
