Zavkhan Trekking takes small groups into one of the more remote regions of Mongolia, travelling by horseback. We explore the forests and valleys of Zavkhan, far to the west of Ulaan Baatar.

Lonely Planet has this to say about Zavkhan:

"Zavkhan is in an awkward location and very few travellers are likely to pass through much or any of the aimag. This is a pity because the scenery is some of the most dramatic and varied in the country; one minute you are travelling through lush valleys and hills and then a few kilometres further, you are in a place reminiscent of a desert from Lawrence of Arabia."
(LP 2005)

Zavkhan Trekking is in only its second year of operating in this area, so when we say you will be exploring, you really will be. We will be following new routes, crossing new passes, going where few westerners have gone before. Since we started riding in Zavkhan we have only seen one other foreigner (and he was lost!)

It is also the local people and their fascinating culture that makes Mongolia special. We strongly believe that they should benefit from any tourism in the region, and we are working toward a long-term relationship with these local nomadic families. By keeping our groups small (max 8 people), we also hope to minimise our impact on the environment.

The photos from 2007 haven't been added to the website yet, but in the meantime see a selection here.
