Covering 218km across a variety of terrain, this tour is designed for people with a thirst for adventure and a challenge. Highlights include cycling on dirt trails used by wild animals and local herdsmen, hiking through pine forests before climbing the 2,656m summit of Altan Olgi mountain, as well as horse riding through deep gorges alongside raging rivers.
Guests will also be treated to majestic nighttime panoramas of the sky unblighted by light pollution whilst camping, as well as sleeping next to crystal clear lakes whilst learning some of the Mongolian traditions that have been passed down the generations. You will even be treated to a night in a “ger”, a traditional felt-covered tent.
The scenery is the main attraction of this multi activity tour in Mongolia. There will be little contact with the outside world, other than the odd friendly nomad tending to his flock. Mongolia is home to vast expanses of grassland, high mountains, plateaus, dense cedar forests, rivers, streams and abundance of wildlife including bears, wolves and deer.
A moderate level of fitness is required, as well as confidence in tackling rough terrain out in the exposed countryside. Whilst prior horse riding experience is not required, a willingness to try is! The Mongolian horse riding technique is unique and a local guide will provide instruction and assistance. A support vehicle is on hand at all times. This 9-day Mongolian Steppe Adventure tour covers 218 km in total: 120 km cycling, 61 kms horse trekking and 37 kms of hiking. Each activity is for 2 days.
