“Autumn Colors of the Khentii”  September Riding

We make the best of the beautiful autumn weather. Days are getting shorter, nights are getting crispy. We move our tented camp less than during summer treks, and instead set up base camps from where to explore the park on day rides. After the day’s ride, heated group tents await us for pre-dinner snacks. Learn more…

Its during September that the colors of forests and grasslands turn to autumn hues. At the end of the month and in early October the larch forests glow in golden colors. Nomadic herders are beginning winter preparations at their winter camp sites, and many herds of horses are roaming in the park. It’s a fantastic time for a riding experience in Mongolia.

The dates of these autumn treks are:

September 3 – 14

September 19 – 30

10 Day Autumn Riding Camp in early October

Riding guests love our Autumn Riding Camp in early October. It combines horseback riding in Gorkhi Terelj National Park with the very authentic experience of staying in the autumn camp site of our local horseman. Guests sleep in insulated tents or gers both of which can be heated if temperatures turn too chilly; likewise, meals are taken in heated gers or insulated tents.  A shower tent is set up, also heated when needed.

Our Autumn Riding Camp’s location is perfect for a variety of day rides, onto the high ridges, into picturesque rock formations, along open valleys for faster riding and through forests to high points with sweeping views of the autumn landscape. It is also the perfect setting to experience first hand daily life of the nomadic herder families. You can join and help with chores and try your hand in herders’ activities.

Inquire about your options for Autumn Riding Camp. You can join the whole adventure traveling on horseback to the Autumn Riding Camp, or you can travel to the camp by vehicle and join the day rides from there if your time is limited. Learn more…

Autumn Riding Camp takes place from October 6 – 15

8 Day October Horse Trek

This 6-day riding adventure concludes our trekking season as we venture into the park one last time. However, it’s probably the busiest time now as herders are settling into winter camp. Our trek travels past herder’s campsites and numerous herds of horses, yak, cattle, sheep and goats. Our camps are set up to keep you comfortable, if needed including heated gers or tents for sleeping. Learn more…

Short Treks and One Day Trail Rides

It depends on the weather conditions when we start with day rides. If temperatures are mild and the trails are not too icy first day rides may be possible in April. But more likely, in May the conditions are favorable to begin day rides and, later in the months, the first short treks with overnight camping.

Our day rides are for groups; they explore the mountains around our staging area, in the Green Zone of Ulaanbaatar city, or go over one of the passes into the Terelj valley, entering Gorkhi-Terelj National Park. Our day rides include pick-up and drop-off at your residence in Ulaanbaatar city

Our longer, scheduled treks start in mid-June, mostly for our horses’ sake as it takes until that time usually for green grass to grow to provide good feed for our herd on the trail. However, we can organize shorter custom treks (two days/one night, three days/two nights, four days/three nights) in the later part of May and early June. These short treks explore the upper Terelj and Elephant River areas. Contact us to discuss your time-frame and number of people in your group. Short treks are great opportunities to escape the city and take a break from work, or to see the country side during a short visit to Mongolia. You will be surprised how fast you can access on horseback wild and pristine places, and habitat of diverse wildlife including wolves, bear, red deer, roe deer and more. Learn more…
