• Yak trekking - Lake Huvsgul

    Enjoy YAK riding. It’s a great challenge and experience to discover the land of eternal blue sky and the nomadic lifestyle traveling through magnificent mountains and hills. To be in the saddle, on that broad, powerful back with its upholstery of thick wool is like sitting in an armchair. Mongolia is one of the few countries that have yaks, known as "Ships of the plateau".
