"Horse-Camel" Mongolia Transportation Tip by archan4698

Its possible to horseback ride around Mongolia as much or as little as you wish. Many Tours offer horseback trips as part of the excursion to the hoodorr(countryside, I think my mongolian is slipping).

Some people wish to solo it around on their own with a horse, which is also possible. However a few tips, In October the weather drops dramtically to freezing, make sure you and your ride are prepared. To buy a horse is about 100 dollars and up. You will prolly have to have a mongolian bargian for you, as the seller will not want to part with their strongest, tamest horses.

If you get a horse, please make stops whenever you can to a local ger you encounter, they will be very interested in a horse-riding foreigner. Its a good idea to bring some small gifts as well, cheap pocket knives, post cards, lighters, tea, or other practical gifts.
