Gobi & Khuvsgul Lake Tour – 14 Days
Mongolia is the ideal place for a horse trip because of its vast steppes, clear sky, stunning mountains, and equestrian heritage. Before being swept away to the gorgeous north of the nation and western Mongolia, a place of mountains and lakes, we will first explore the cultural metropolis of Ulaanbaatar on our tour.
After seeing our Mongolian horses, we will travel into the highlands and verdant meadows, going through the encampments of nomadic Mongol families where we will halt and take advantage of their warm hospitality. Dramatic views may be seen in this area, including snow-capped mountains, turquoise rivers, and stunning lakes in a large meadow where few tourists go.
