This horse trek is totally off road and the gear will be carried by a pack horse. Be ready for a total immersion in nature.
The trek will start in Terelj national park from which you will ride to the Khan Khentii Protected Area. Khan Khentii comprises over 1.2 milion hectares of land and is almost inhabited by humans. Plus, hunting in this region is prohibited which makes it the perfect place for wildlife and endangered species such as the brown bear to live.On the way you will stop to the remote Khagiin Khar Nuur, also called Black Lake. This 20m deep glacial lake is located within the Khentii mountains and is surrounded by forest. It is hence the best place to feel in harmony with nature. Therefore one day will be totally dedicated to the visit of the surroundings of this beautiful lake.
Each day, you will ride about 30 to 40km. Part of the track might be difficult, especially when riding in hidden trails such as muddy meadows or crossing rivers. But don’t worry, some route will be much easier with dried valleys and forested mountains.Every evening you will set your tents in beautiful spots, free of people and spend some time playing cards or singing around the fire with your guides. Trek for advanced riders. Come and ride with us.

Over the next two days, we'll make our way across the Khavirga mountain pass and the Altan Ulgii mountain range, which marks the entrance to the Khan Khentii strictly protected area. This part of the route can be challenging, with marshy, boggy, and muddy terrain to navigate. We'll have the pleasure of riding through forested mountain zones and will camp in tents. /Accommodation in Tent/

By day's end, we'll arrive at Khagiin Khar Nuur, a 20-meter-deep glacial lake nestled among forests of larch and pine trees. We'll camp in tents beneath the starry night sky. /Accommodation in Tent/

For these two days, we'll ride through the Terelj and Tuul river valleys. The Tuul River is one of Mongolia's longest, and we'll have the opportunity for some exciting galloping in open areas. Our nights will be spent in tents. /Accommodation in Tent/
