A horse riding trip from Battsengel to the Great White lake.
Arkhangai, between Steppe and Mountains, between Lakes and Volcanos, we will appreciate all the weathness of this multiple facets' province following the steps of our horses. Let's contemplate these yaks grazing in peace, these Nomad's children with black hair and cheeks tanned by the sun running in the steppe of their worthy forefathers... here time has never existed.
