Listing Details
Active Adventure
We specialize in small group size, low impact, high quality horse travel that will give our guests a unique wilderness horse riding experience. Horseback travel in Mongolia is a way of life and one of the best ways to really see the country.
Our pack trips and trail rides are in two of the premier parks in Mongolia, protected for their natural, cultural and historical values. They bring you into the heartland of Mongolia - through forest steppes grazed by herds of nomadic families, and into the forest and mountain wilderness of the "Khan Khentii", revered in Mongolia as the ancient homeland of Ghengis Khan.
The staging area for all our trips is the Darkhid Valley, ideally located at the edge of the Gorkhi-Terelj National Park yet only an hours drive from the capital city Ulaanbaatar. You won't waste time with lengthy car travel to start your backcountry adventure. Accessible on horseback from here is
the largest roadless area in Mongolia and some of the most outstanding and remote natural scenery in the country.
Our Expeditions
8 Day - Gorkhi-Terelj National Park Expedition (10 days in country)
Riding into the Terelj and Tuul River Valleys in the Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, you will travel through meadows of wildflowers, cross rivers and mountain passes, visit historical and cultural sites and experience fantastic riding country. Accommodation in tented camps and in yurts ("Ger" in Mongolian language)
12 Day Khentii Mountains Expedition (14 days in country)
This expedition will take you deep into the Khentii Mountain wilderness, where you will experience its wild beauty, history and ancient mystical nature. A moderate to high level of fitness and wilderness experience is needed for this trip. Accommodation in tented camps.
Day Riding with Home Stay in the Darkhid Valley .
Choose a home stay in the traditional ger (felt tent) of a Mongolian host family or in the Darkhid Valley. See or take part in activities of traditional livestock husbandry. Ride with the herder. Explore the area on horseback, or on foot.
In the Darkhid Valley, we work with the local community on ecological restoration and to help improve household livelihoods. "Stone Horse Expeditions & Travel" personnel have a long history of working with local communities throughout Mongolia on conservation and rural development, and continue to do so.
Typical Day
A typical day on a backcountry trip starts early for the staff - rounding up, saddling and packing the horses. Coffee and tea awaits you when you get up from your tent and after breakfast we set out on the day's ride. You are accompanied by the trip leader and other staff members. We carry snacks and personal gear in saddle bags. We move along at a steady pace, but take time to enjoy the scenery, to take photos, or stop to watch wildlife. We make a lunch stop for about an hour at a place that the whole team enjoys - where the horses have grass and water and the riders may have shade and a scenic view. On a long day on the trail we take other short stops to let the horses graze and stretch our legs. In forest and on high country trails, our usual speed is a fast walk. In open steppe country, our horses like to fall into a trot - an opportunity to make some distance and enjoy the landscape at a steady speed. We reach the agreed campsite where the advance crew has made camp, prepared a hot or cold drink and will make dinner. You'll have time to relax. We'll unpack and put the horses out to pasture for the rest of the day and arrange for their nights grazing. Each rider is assigned their horse for the trip and you can choose to just enjoy the day's ride with him, or you may want to help with wrangling tasks, lead him to the creek for water, and put him to pasture for the night.
On the longer pack trips, you will have spent 6-7 hours in the saddle. We give our horses enough time for grazing in the morning and evening, and we also often take a nice long lunch break at scenic spots - near a river or high up near rock formations with sweeping views of the forest steppe landscape. In camp you will also have time to relax and rest and enjoy our meals. .
Age range, type of group
Sleeping and meals
On the trips, we serve a choice of breakfast foods including cereals, muesli, eggs, panbread/pancakes, coffee, tea, jam, cheese. Lunches are typically breads with a selection of salami and cheeses, fruit and snacks. Candy bars and energy bars are always in your saddle bags for snacking, and you'll have your own daily drinking water supply. Dinners are a variety of international dishes with hearty meals such as chillies, steak, bean tortillas, rice dishes, mash potatoes, fresh salads, lentil soups, chowder, and more. We improvise, use locally sourced food as much as possible, but supplement to make for a diverse menu. Let us know about any preferences you may have that we can accommodate.
For camping on our pack trips, we use a variety of quality single and double occupancy tents (including high "ceiling" tents one can stand in). We provide air mats and sleeping bags. Meals are cooked on gas stoves with campfires for barbecued steak and conversation; We have simple camp seating and tables with portable washing/shower and sanitary facilities at the campsites.
Restrictions
Park rules, and seasonal fire regulations, may prohibit or strongly advice against smoking. Fire is a very serious hazard in Mongolia's dry climate. We will provide you with an introduction to the parks and their regulations, and to our code of practice for low impact back country travel and camping.
Weight of the Rider
Mongolian horses are smaller than those in the Americas and Europe and can carry safely about a third of their average weight of about 600 pounds. Please note that the maximum weight we can allow for a rider is 220 pounds or 100 kilograms
