On these Mongolian Horseback Active Adventures, you will horseback ride through
the
vast sacred Tuul river Valley to Terelj National Park or to
the old temple of Manchurian Princess. Meet with locals
and see
their daily lives, interact with them.
We
will start this horse ride as a Nomadic Adventure Tours, e.g. without
vehicle support in wild terrain. Our luggage will be loaded on to yak
carts. In
the first part of the horseback ride will be in the
steppes and gradually it will become very scenic in the forest steppe
mosaic and southern taiga life zone. Mountains, steppes,
forests and wooded meadows. Camping along.
The best for you is however to join a small horse riding group from
our "Chinggis" Tourist Gers Camp to Terelj National

through
the vast sacred Tuul river Valley and in the second part
of this program to ride with our pack horses, starting from the
Khatgal
in Khovsgol Lake National Park, ending at the Tsagaannuur,
White Lake.
|
| About
Khovsgol Lake:
|
The
northern of Mongolia is dominated by the magnificent Khovsgol Lake
National Park
(it is about 900km from Ulaan Baatar). This is a land of
huge pine trees and crystal-clear lakes, with water so pure you can
drink it, icy streams, lush grass, open meadows and an abundance
of
wild flowers. Khovsgol Lake is surrounded by several peaks near 3000 m
high.
In surface area, this is the second-largest lake in Mongolia and the
deepest lake (up to 262 m) in Central Asia. The alpine climate of the
northernmost province Khovsgol can change from one extreme to another.
In summer, temperatures are mild but weather can change quickly (rain
showers are to be expected) and temperatures will range between 18 and
25 degrees Celsius during the day. At night they may drop to 10 to 5
degrees Celsius. In autumn (August-September), temperatures may drop
to 0 degrees Celsius at night.
|
| About
the Tsaatan people:
|
About
50 km west of Khovsgol Lake is a large depression called Tsagaan Nuur,
White Lake, named after the main village in the area.
This is one of the best-watered regions in Mongolia; there are about
300 lakes, over 200 of them in this area alone.
The unique Tsaatan people, named from the Mongolian word for reindeer,
Tsaatan, inhabit the valleys.
The Tsaatan use tents made from reindeer skin.
Their entire existence is based on the reindeer, which provides milk,
skins for clothes, transport and, occasionally, meat. Tsaatan people
are part of a Tuvan ethnic group which inhabits nearby Russia. There
are only about
200 Tsaatan, spread over 100,000 sq km of northern
Mongolia.
