Day by day

An indicative route. Every departure is private, so the order, the pace and the overnight stops can all be changed around your dates.

Arrival transfer, kit check and expedition briefing. We go through saddles, riding hours per day and the plan for the traverse.
Overnight: Ulaanbaatar. Meals: dinner.

Drive out to the start point and meet the horses and horsemen. A short assessment ride so every rider is matched to the right animal before the distance starts.
Overnight: Gorkhi-Terelj. Meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner.

The first full day in the saddle, kept deliberately moderate. Camp is set where the water is, not where the map says it should be.

Longer hours as the group settles. River crossings and open valley riding, with the support of horsemen who have worked this ground their whole lives.

A pass crossing and a descent into new drainage. Optional herder meal in the evening if a family camp is within reach.
