Those of you who have the courage to read the awful prose hereunder are probably wondering what kind of idiot wrote it. We must confess to both a capacity for better prose and an ulterior motive in writing so badly. Search engines look for correlations between your keywords like horseback riding, Mongolia tour, China, Tibet, Gobi.. (see there I go again) and the frequency with which they appear on your page. In this everchanging cyber world, we need to keep up, I guess. Have a good riding vacation or adventure. Bernard.
Use the above links about Mongolia to research Mongolian culutre and opportunities before you travel.
Horseback riding was our original interest when we pioneered travel adventures to China and Inner Mongolia and Tibet. We now offer tours and travel packages of all kinds in Mongolia including camel riding, trekking, ATV, Quad, kite buggy, paragliding, fishing, horseback riding, culture, visiting Naadam, the Gobi, Lake Hovsgol (Lake Khovsgol) and the nomadic herders. In Mongolia (Ulaanbaatar) we have our own offices. You can also meet us at Chez Bernard Café. We are not a travel agent, but an outfitter of travel and adventure in Mongolia. If want a riding vacation; whether a horseback riding vacation, a camel riding vacation or a jeep riding vacation, we'll be glad to create a travel adventure for you.
In China and Tibet remember you can combine two adventures and do both horseback riding trips in just two weeks of travel. A China horseback riding vacation or a Tibet horseback riding vacation is just the thing for beginners or experienced equestrian travelers. An equestrain vacation, horseback riding in, China, Tibet or Mongolia is a great way to have a guided adventure.
