Day 1. Turtle Rock and Start of the horse trek
You will leave Stepperiders and head towards the starting point of your trek. On the way you will stop to see the famous Turtle Rock, one of Terelj National park’s must see.
Once your horses ready you will start by crossing a big river. What a good way to start the adventure! You will be riding through a valley with many nomadic families and livestock.
You will camp in a quiet and beautiful place.
Day 2. Galloping across steppe valleys
The more you will ride, the fewer nomadic families you will see. You will cross rivers, gallop in high grass and see beautiful herds of horses. You will camp next to the river where you can have a swim and then relax next to the camp fire.
