*What is a Guaranteed Departure?
After taking time off work, booking your flights and arranging for your neighbour to feed the cat, the last thing you need is for your trip to be cancelled because of a lack of people on your tour. Our guaranteed departures give you the peace of mind to book the tour that suits you.
A guaranteed departure means that the tour will definitely operate on the day it is scheduled and will not be cancelled for lack of participation. All guaranteed departures will run except in the event of a natural disaster or other similarly disruptive event that is beyond our control.

These two days are devoted to horse riding and discovering the traditional lifestyle of the nomads of Mongolia.
The program is very flexible, the idea is to let you very free so you can tailor your activities according to your desires. The horses are at your disposal, as well as your translator and the equestrian guides of the nomadic family, so you can ride when you want.
The nomads adapt the pace to your riding ability. It is possible for example to plan a horse ride for beginners in the morning and another one in the afternoon for riders with a faster pace.
Similarly, your vehicle and driver are at your disposal if you want to visit a place which can not be reached in a day on horseback.
Do not be overwhelmed by the tours and horseback rides, try to take the time to sit quietly in camp, playing with children, helping to care for the herd if you want ... to really appreciate the unique lifestyle and the sweetness of life in the wilderness among the herds.
We can participate in their daily activities, and become acquainted with the various family members.
