1 DAY GETAWAY TO VAST GRASSLAND (horseback riding, traditional archery)

OVERVIEW

A day of private tour includes a visit to the Chinggis Khan statue, an up-close experience with a pristine nature, practice of a Mongolian traditional archery, and a Mongolian horse riding journey. This lunch included trip starts and ends in Ulaanbaatar.

Your tour commences at 9am with a pick up and one-hour transfer to the world’s tallest equestrian statue, a giant figure of Chinggis Khan on a horseback. Chinggis Khan is the unifier of Mongol tribes, and creator of the Mongol Empire: the largest land empire world has ever known. A panoramic view of vast grasslands and rolling hills from observation deck on the horse head is just spectacular. Proceed to an isolated holiday camp amidst open steppe dotted with mushroom like tents of nomadic herders and their herds of cattle and sheep. Upon arrival, we will learn about Mongolian traditional archery and try our hands at hitting targets with the famous composite bows. In the afternoon stocky but sure-footed Mongolian horse(s) will be saddled up for you. For 3 hours (including photo and leg stretching stops), you will ride across the boundless grasslands and imagine yourselves as true nomads. On completing the joyous equestrian experience, we will return to the city where you will be taken to your accommodation.
