Horse trekking
Mongolian herding practices vary from season to season. During the summer months, watering in saline lakes is important to remove parasites and take in minerals.
Our camp has more than 150 horses bred for dressage and speed. Driving such a number of horses is a unique and exciting experience, where you can observe many things such as the relationship between the herd members and their territorial behavior.
