Riding Like a Mongolian… One Hand-Carved Birch Root at a Time

Every year, our brave Gobi Gallop riders take on 700 kilometers across the wild Mongolian steppe—and as part of that journey, at least 20 kilometers must be ridden in a traditional Mongolian saddle.

It’s a challenge that connects riders to centuries of nomadic tradition… and this year, we have one valiant rider aiming to go all 700 kilometers in nothing but a Mongolian saddle!

And this isn’t just any saddle.

Hand-carved from birch root, finished with hand-stitched leather, and featuring traditional brass stirrups, this year’s Gobi Gallop saddle has just been completed by a master craftsman at Narantuul Market here in Ulaanbaatar.

This weekend, it will head out to Horse Trek Mongolia to be tested on a Mongolian horse—making sure it’s ready to carry our riders on their life-changing adventure.

Riding in a Mongolian saddle isn’t just part of the experience.
It is the experience.

It challenges you to ride like a true nomad—and offers a rare connection to the heart of Mongolian culture, history, and adventure.

Get ready, riders. The Gobi Gallop 2025 saddle is ready for you.

Adventure. Culture. Purpose.
Saddle Up for the Ride of a Lifetime.

Not all horse treks are created equal. If you’re craving wild, unforgettable adventure across Mongolia’s untouched landscapes—but you also want to know you’re in safe, experienced hands—this is your sign.

At Horse Trek Mongolia, we take you deep into the heart of the steppe, across vast open plains, into high mountains, and through nomadic culture that hasn’t broken stride in over 2,000 years. You’ll ride forward-moving, well-trained Mongolian horses, experience real wilderness, and eat campfire meals that’ll make you forget you’re in the middle of nowhere. (Our cooks are that good.)

But here’s the difference:
We prioritize safety without compromising the spirit of the adventure.
You’ll ride on comfortable, custom-fitted saddles, have access to emergency satellite communication, and be accompanied by experienced wranglers who know both the terrain and the horses like family. We’re proudly the company other riders wish they booked with.

And while you’re out there, living your wildest dreams, you’re also doing good. Every single ride supports the work of the Veloo Foundation, helping children and families in Mongolia who need it most. So your trek isn’t just a journey for you—it’s hope for someone else.

This is adventure done right.
Raw. Real. Responsible.
Are you ready to ride?

Well, not to brag but the land of the eternal blue sky is also the land of limitless stars.

Sleeping out under a canvas like this after a day on horseback is a perfection beyond compare.

From the Yorkshire Moors to the South African wilderness, star bathing is emerging as a transformative wellness trend: https://bbc.in/428hsaz
