Outstanding experience
By far the best day we spent here in Mongolia around UB. Augi is extremely skilled guide and can give deep insights about the local culture and the surroundings (other than that, the care for each person’s needs and requests is remarkable). Must do experience!

Great guiding and warm welcoming - Mongolias history, people and nature
We had an amazing day with lots of inspiration and new experiences - very good food and company! Augi, our guide, told us so many aspects of Mongolian history, mentality and language! It was really fascinating to hear about - Mongolia before and Mongolia of today… Also it was super nice to ride the horses! We had basicaly no experience of this - but it was so safe, funny and comfortable feeling! Nature is so beautiful so we were just stoppning all the time to take more photos… The day went by very quick - and we really recommend this for everyone visiting Mongolia! All the best from Peter and Sofia from Sweden and Hungary -
Response from the operator: Dear Peter and Sofia, Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the day, from the stories with Augi to your first horse riding experience and Mongolia’s beautiful nature. Your recommendation means a lot to us—we hope to see you again someday! All the best, Augi :)

Experience the best of Mongolia!
This was the highlight of my trip to Mongolia. Augi, my guide, was super informative and a really fun guy to hang around with. I got to see so many cool things and experience lots of Mongolian things, such as ayrag (fermented horse milk) and riding a horse! I even got to hold an eagle which was super cool. If you’re ever in Mongolia, I HIGHLY recommend this tour. Worth every penny. For a sure a day to remember.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that Augi made your day both fun and informative. It sounds like you had an incredible experience exploring Mongolian culture, from ayrag and horse riding to holding an eagle! We’re so glad it was a day to remember, and we truly appreciate your high recommendation. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure in Mongolia!

Best way to see Terelj National Park
Best thing I did in Mongolia. Augi is very knowledge and made the experience special. Hotel pickup was excellent and he catered our itinerary to meet our needs. Riding horses through Terelj National Park is the best way to see turtle rock. Helmets were available and I felt very safe on the horses. We went to the ger of a nomad family to have fermented horse milk and other local delicacies. The lunch was excellent at a very nice ger. We had access to clean western style bathrooms throughout the day. This tour was worth every penny!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the horse ride in Terelj, the nomadic family visit, and local food. It was a pleasure making your trip special. Hope to see you in Mongolia again!

Horse riding in Terelj National Park: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ulaanbaatar.
How much does Horse riding in Terelj National Park cost?
+
Prices start at $170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ulaanbaatar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Horse riding in Terelj National Park take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ulaanbaatar is not rushed.
Is Horse riding in Terelj National Park worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ulaanbaatar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Horse riding in Terelj National Park?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Horse riding in Terelj National Park suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Horse riding in Terelj National Park?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ulaanbaatar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ulaanbaatar and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horse riding in Terelj National Park start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ulaanbaatar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ulaanbaatar?
+
On Outty we rank every Ulaanbaatar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include BEST 5* Chinggis Khaan Airport UBN Ulaanbaatar Transfer Taxi 24/7, A day trip to Terelj National Park and Statue of Chinggis Khan, Genghis Khan Statue+Terelj Park+CamelRide+Eagle. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ulaanbaatar?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ulaanbaatar?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Horse riding in Terelj National Park?
+

What languages is Horse riding in Terelj National Park offered in?
+
