Escape from the city for half a day and enjoy nature and beautiful landscapes - Terelj National Park Morning Horseback Ride Horseback Riding Sat, Aug 10, 2024, 8:00 AM English - Guide It was a morning trip on a Sunday morning. We are a couple, and there was another couple in our van. The trip was very well timed, and we got what we expected. We first were a bit scared because we had not any previous expierence riding the horse or mountain climbing (which was optional), but we managed with both very successfully: we climed on the Turtke rock and rided the horses, and it was marvellous. Our guide was a young guy, very friendly and helpful in every way. We recommend this tour to those who would love to escape from the city for half a day and enjoy nature and beautiful landscapes.

Glad to see a part of Mongolia with Namsrai - Very nice horseback riding day with our young guide Namsrai, he is a passionate person who loves his country and try to show us as much as possible. Thanks very much for this trip my first time to ride a horse by myself and go to a beautiful & wild part, an impressed experience and unforgettable! Jian & Xiaoxiao

Huge shout-out to Namsrai! - I want to give a huge shout-out to my guide, Namsrai. Without him, I wouldn’t have enjoyed the tour nearly as much. Throughout the day, a lot of unexpected things happened that prevented me from participating in some activities I was really looking forward to, like river crossing, forest horse riding, and having lunch with locals in a ger. Despite these challenges, Namsrai did everything he could to make sure I enjoyed the trip. While the tour had its difficulties, Namsrai’s dedication and effort truly made it a 5-star experience. Plus, his extensive experience living abroad means he speaks English really well, which made communication easy and enjoyable. If you’re planning a trip, I highly recommend asking for Namsrai as your guide!

Excellent horse riding - Experiencing horseback riding in Mongolia was incredible! The guide was exceptionally courteous and knowledgeable, enhancing my adventure across the vast, beautiful landscapes. Highly recommend!

Amazing day out in the national park - I have visited the city a few times but have never had a chance to explore the countryside until this tour. This tour was a perfect one-day adventure to see some highlights and I thoroughly recommend it. The scenery in the summer is beautiful! my guide Red was very friendly and attentive and spoke great English (as well as several other languages), providing stories and information throughout the day. Because it was a very small group there was some flexibility in the itinerary, and I think we did more than the listing mentions. We visited Turtle rock, walked up to the Aryapala meditation temple, and went to the Chinggis statue, as well as the main event, horseback riding. The horseback part started in a stunning river valley with a traditional oxen cart ride. I was paired with a chill horse that fit my complete newbie abilities, and away we went! The scenery was just glorious, and we took a slow and steady pace up the hills and across the streams. I even got to attempt a faster pace on the flat grasslands. Lunch was a tasty tsiuvan (stir fry noodles) - which I chose from a few traditional options offered. Finished the day tired but happy, thank you Rara Avis! Extra info: We traveled in a comfortable Prius, and they were happy to drop me directly at my hotel at the end of the day, as well as offering strategic coffee/restroom stops during the trip. Traffic is always a factor in UB, but it was pretty good on a weekend with the 8 am start.

Best 1 day tour - I did not have much time in Ulaanbaatar and that tour gave me the chance to experience some of the highlights in 1 day. Horse riding was something to remember and also the statue complex of Chinggis Khan is a must see when in Mongolia. Not any other package offered that in 1 day. Lunch was also tasty in a very local, truly Mongolian restaurant. Bayar's speaks English like a native speaker and at the end of the tour I forgot that I had booked a tour with a company. I thought that I was out in the countryside with a friend.

Interesting experience - This horseback riding trip was incredible! The company was super professional - they picked us up right on time, and our guide was incredibly helpful. Communication can be tricky in Mongolia sometimes, but luckily our guide spoke perfect English, which was a huge relief. On these types of trips, clear communication is key – a language barrier could have been a real challenge. The Mongolian wilderness is unlike anything I've ever seen. The scenery during the horseback ride was absolutely breathtaking. Even if you're a beginner rider, there's no need to worry. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and matched each person with a horse based on their experience level.

If you want to go horse riding in Mongolia, come to Teleji Park - First of all, the driver and tour guide are very kind. When driving, they pay special attention to potholes in the ground and will not speed up to overtake. This is a big advantage in Mongolia, where the traffic is chaotic. The tour guide spoke very good English and knew the history of Mongolia quite well. Then after arriving at Teleji Park, the whole horse riding experience was perfect, and the traditional Mongolian food on the way was also quite good. In addition, the scenery in the national park is unimaginable, very beautiful and stunning. Overall, it was an experience worth remembering and revisiting!

Splendid day on horseback - This was a fantastic day-trip from Ulaanbaatar. The guide met us on time in the hotel lobby and he spoke excellent English. The first part of the trip was very bumpy due to road construction, but then it got better. We did a quick stop at the impressive Genghis Khan statue, but the main event was the horseback riding in Terelj National Park. We enjoy a full three hours with the horses in magnificent nature, and then we were served lunch by the horse owner’s wife, in a traditional ger. So enjoyable, so well organised, so beautiful. Highly recommended!

No Show - The tour operator never showed up and I am still waiting for my refund. The number I called on my ticket to find out when they were arriving was out of service.
