Join us on a horse trekking adventure in North Eastern Mongolia alongside welcoming Mongolian nomads, exploring the region where Chinggis Khan, the founder of the Mongol empire, was born. Accompanied by local herdsmen and their sturdy horses, ride vast grasslands, forested hills and lush river valleys typical of the taiga forest ecosystem of eastern Siberia. Encounter a rich historical heritage through ancient burials and rock carvings, many dating back to the era of the Great Khan, showcasing the enduring tradition of horseback riding and nomadic culture that has persisted uninterrupted for over 5,000 years.

I am currently acting as the managing director which in fact means creating new itineraries, writing emails and eventually guiding a few tours during the short but intense travel season (June-Sep). In 1995, still a university student I was hired as an interpreter by an adventurous Kiwi called John Grant from a NZ town of Papakura. However odd it may sound, he aimed to find a yeti as 4 years earlier sighting of the mystical creature in Western Mongolia had been reported. At the end of a month of mountain travel both on foot and horseback I realized what I loved the most – travel. Today after 20 years, almost every time I plan a new itinerary I still get an urge to personally go and guide that very tour. And this is when I say to myself: “You still have a reason to stay in tourism”.
