Zavkhan Trekking is run by John Williamson, Sam Brown and Jenya Boikov, with help from the Zavkhan locals. John and Sam are both Kiwis, resident in the UK, Jenya is Mongolian and lives in Ulaan Baatar.

John first came to Mongolia in 2000, bought a horse and spent 6 months riding through this amazing country. He decided to return and bring others to share the experience. John is a Member of The Long Riders' Guild, the world's first international association of equestrian explorers and long distance travellers. Sam is a very experienced horse rider, ecologist and organiser extraodinaire. She learn't her horse skills at Kowhai Riding School, a great place for a riding holiday in New Zealand. Jenya has spent many years working in the developing Mongolian tourism industry. He is a wonderful bridge between our western culture and that of the local nomads, and cooks a mean sheep's head soup.

We ran our first trip to Zavkhan in 2004 with a group of friends and acquaintances, who all had a great time, and Zavkhan Trekking was born. See the pictures here.
