Hike / Bike/ Horse Trek - Mongolia

September 24th - Oct 3rd, 2006

This nine day challenge begins with two days of cycling to Erhel Lake via the Uushig Deer Stone Complex and then onto Lake Hovsgul, (also known as the 'blue pearl'), the fourteenth largest freshwater lake in the world. We will explore the remarkably beautiful shoreline of Lake Hovsgul and then horse trek into the breathtakingly scenic Horidal Saridag Mountains, where we gain spectacular views of the Lake from a mountaintop. The last two days, will find us trekking towards the Muron camp passing the Toomyn Davaa Pass on the way. From Muron, we will fly to Ulanbataar to celebrate to celebrate our last night in this majestic land.
