Horse riding in western Mongolia
Horse-riding in a wild nature is one of the fancy tours in western Mongolia. Experiencing to ride a horse like Mongolian nomads is something interesting and you would enjoy it. However, the way of horse-riding tradition is different in Mongolia so you should adopt it and your experienced guide will explain more details about horse-riding tradition in Mongolia once you start your tour with us. Finally, saddles, stair-ups, the front and back of the saddle are totally different than the one you may experience in your culture or country.
