Horse Riding Experience on the Arburd Steppe and Camel Riding on the Dunes, 6 Days
Arburd steppe horse riding experience, nomad family stay, 1 night in Ulaanbaatar. The nearest steppe and sand dunes, about 140 km southwest of Ulaanbaatar. Beyond the vast steppe you gallop across, sand dunes suddenly spread out: Bayan Ulaan village and the Arburd tourist camp. Many Naadam horse trainers live around this camp, grazing racehorses and livestock. The camp is surrounded by dunes, and a short walk leads to rocky hills with fine views and wild goats, so you can enjoy a different kind of riding from steppe riding. The tourist camp has camels, so you can try camel riding. About 35 km from the camp is the famous Zorgol Khairkhan Mountain of Mongolia, where you may see rock paintings said to have been made nearly 4,000 years ago and wild Mongolian sheep. The Arburd tourist camp is open every year from May 1 to October 1. It is a tourist facility with 15 gers for 32 guests in a beautiful valley of the Arburd dunes.
