7-Day Mongolia Adventure: Sightseeing & Horseback Riding Tour
Ride Free Across the Eternal Blue Sky
Saddle up and step into a world where the land stretches forever, the horses run wild, and life is lived under the endless sky.
This 7-day adventure combines cultural discovery with horseback riding through Mongolia’s most iconic landscapes — from sacred temples to the wild steppes where the last wild horses roam.
Day 1: Welcome to the Land of the Eternal Blue Sky
- Arrive in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia’s vibrant capital.
- Meet your guide and transfer to your hotel to freshen up.
- Stretch your legs with a guided walking tour:
- Visit the majestic Gandan Monastery, where monks in saffron robes chant ancient prayers.
- Stroll through Sukhbaatar Square, the city’s beating heart, and admire its grand monuments.
- Settle in for a welcome dinner featuring Mongolian specialties and a chance to meet your fellow adventurers.
Day 2: Into the Wild – Ride through Terelj National Park
- After breakfast, leave the city behind and journey 80 km to Terelj National Park, a rolling wonderland of granite cliffs, green valleys, and wildflowers.
- Meet your local horse guide and the trusty Mongolian horses you’ll ride.
- Ride out across open fields and along forest trails, stopping to admire the famous Turtle Rock and climb up to the Aryabal Meditation Temple for stunning panoramic views.
- Stay overnight at a traditional ger (yurt) camp, cozying up by the fire as the stars blaze across the sky.
Real Experience: Mongolian horses are small but strong — just like Mongolians prefer. They're natural-born mountain climbers!
Day 3: Deeper into Terelj – Valley, Forest, and Freedom
- Spend the full day exploring deeper into Terelj on horseback:
- Cross meadows bursting with wildflowers.
- Ride alongside crystal-clear rivers.
- Feel the peace of ancient forests untouched by time.
- Enjoy a picnic lunch at a breathtaking spot chosen by your guide — maybe by a hidden riverbank or a lonely hilltop.
- In the evening, return to your cozy ger camp. Share stories, stargaze, or simply relax in the silence of the steppe.
Day 4: Across the Steppe – Journey to Khustai National Park
- After breakfast, say goodbye to Terelj and begin a scenic journey across wide-open plains toward Khustai National Park.
- Upon arrival, meet your new team of horses and set out to explore the park’s rugged hills and open grasslands.
- Look for the rare Przewalski’s horse — Mongolia’s symbol of wild freedom — roaming in small herds.
- Settle in at your ger camp inside the park, where the sounds of the wild will be your lullaby.
Wildlife Tip: Bring binoculars — you might spot red deer, marmots, or golden eagles, too!
Day 5: Ride with the Wild Ones – Full Day in Khustai
- Spend a full day riding through the untouched wilderness of Khustai National Park:
- Follow trails through golden grasslands and hidden valleys.
- Watch as wild horses graze and gallop freely, just as they have for thousands of years.
- Learn from your guide about the park’s vital role in conserving these incredible animals.
- Picnic lunch on the trail, then continue riding deeper into the park’s dramatic landscapes.
- Return to camp for a hearty dinner and celebrate your journey with a traditional Mongolian toast — airag (fermented mare’s milk), if you dare!
Travel Tip: Przewalski’s horses are shy — stay quiet and respect their space for a truly magical encounter.
Day 6: Back to Ulaanbaatar – City Life and Souvenirs
