If you want a true horse riding adventure then look no further than the superb ride Unicorn offers in Mongolia. This is a first class ride and must not be confused with cheaper, inferior holidays offered by other tour operators. We offer you the magical Mongolian Explorer ride. This is a trail holiday for adventurous riders but nevertheless caters for riders of all levels, even beginners and novice riders.
The independent republic of Mongolia is situated in central Asia, with an enormous 3485 kilometre border with Russia to the north and an even longer 4670 kilometre border with China to the south. Mongolia is about the size of Western Europe and with only 2.4 million people has a very low population density. The vast open spaces make for wonderful outdoor adventures and fabulous horse riding holidays.
Mongolia was previously a satellite state of Russia called Outer Mongolia. With the fall of communism in Russia change came to Mongolia too. The country has a parliamentary democracy with a president who is elected for a 4 year term. This stable form of government has been in place since 1992. At present the country is in a change over period from communism to a free market economy. For partly this reason, tourism has been developing at a pace over the last few years.
Many Mongolians still live the nomadic life of the traditional herdsman. Mongolia is well known for its nature, wildlife and the generousity of the people. A horse riding holiday here is a true experience and chance to explore the vast unspoilt wilderness area occupied by the last truly nomadic people.
Mongolia has a diverse landscape. The country is very mountainous with the highest peaks in the west. There are quite literally hundreds of lakes, some very large. You'll also find hot springs to bathe in. Then of course we cannot forget the Gobi Desert where you may find wild camels, Gobi bears, snow leopards and Prewalsky horses. These horses are the only truly wild breed of horse. You'll be able to meet the Prewalsky horses on our Mongolian Explorer ride.
The capital of Mongolia is Ulaanbaatar. This is an interesting city and we can happily arrange an extra few days here as an add-on to your riding holiday. Why not visit the museum to see the splendic dinasaur discoveries.
