1. Our Philosophy at Horse Camp Mongolia

Bringing a Safe and Compassionate Horse-Riding Culture from Mongolia to the World

For us, horseback riding is about more than simply getting on a horse.

We offer an experience of riding across Mongolia’s vast steppes while learning about each horse’s personality and natural behavior, as well as the proper ways to interact with and handle horses.

To ensure that even first-time riders feel comfortable and confident, we carefully explain the basics before each ride, including correct riding posture, rein handling, starting, stopping, and turning.

We prioritize safety at every stage, tailoring the program to each participant’s experience and the conditions of the day.

2. What Makes Our Horse Camp Special

Small Groups of Up to Five Guests

Each program accommodates a maximum of five guests. Rather than traveling in a large group, we provide personalized support based on each participant’s riding experience and physical condition.

An instructor and an assistant staff member usually accompany each group. However, when there is only one participant, the instructor may be the only staff member accompanying the ride.

Learn to Ride from the Basics

Instead of heading straight out onto the grasslands, guests first learn how to interact with horses and master the basic riding techniques.

For beginners, the goal is to enjoy horseback riding across the grasslands safely under staff supervision. Experienced riders will be offered suitable riding activities after their skills have been assessed.

Complimentary Safety Equipment

We provide the following essential riding equipment free of charge:

• Riding helmet
• Body protector
• Half chaps

As sizes and quantities are limited, we may ask for your height and body measurements when you make your reservation.

Experience Traditional Nomadic Culture

At our camp, you can experience more than horseback riding. You will also discover the traditional lifestyles of Mongolia’s grassland communities and the culture that has developed alongside horses.

Enjoy time in a traditional ger, breathtaking steppe landscapes, and star-filled night skies—an authentic Mongolian experience far removed from city life.

Support Staff

Our support staff assist with safety checks during rides, horse preparation, fitting riding equipment, and your stay at the camp.

Depending on the group size and program, an assistant staff member and a Japanese- or English-speaking guide may accompany you.

Please note that the staff members assigned to your experience may vary depending on the date and program.

4. Camp Facilities

Horse Camp Mongolia is based at Bayarmaa Camp, located in the vast grasslands of Mongolia.

The camp has five traditional Mongolian gers, offering guests the opportunity to experience staying in a traditional nomadic dwelling.

Main Facilities

• Guest accommodation in traditional gers
• Dining and relaxation area
• Pit toilets
• Horse-riding equipment
• Horse care and management area

Please note that there are currently no shower facilities at the camp. We kindly ask guests to understand that this is a simple, rustic camp located in the open grasslands before joining us.

5. Location & Access

The horse-riding base and camp for our tours is Bayarmaa Camp, located in Erdene soum on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar.

Surrounded by Mongolia’s vast open grasslands, the camp offers an ideal setting for basic riding lessons, horseback riding across the steppe, and overnight stays in traditional Mongolian gers.

Estimated Travel Time to the Camp

• Approximately 2 hours by car from central Ulaanbaatar
• Approximately 2 hours by car from Chinggis Khaan International Airport

Travel times may vary depending on road conditions, traffic, weather, and other factors.

Depending on the tour package, transfers are provided from hotels in central Ulaanbaatar or Chinggis Khaan International Airport. The meeting point and departure time will be provided after your reservation is confirmed.

As the horse-riding grounds and camp are not located at a site with a clearly marked address like a typical tourist attraction, we generally recommend using our arranged transfer rather than traveling to the camp independently.

6. Operating Company

Horse Camp Mongolia is operated by H&A Travel Transfer Connect FILLC (H&A Travel), a Mongolia-based travel company.

H&A Travel provides travel arrangements throughout Mongolia, including tours, private transportation, guide services, and accommodation. For guests traveling from Japan, we also offer reservation assistance and travel arrangements in Japanese.
