Charity horse ride in Mongolia

Our responsible commitment extends to helping the local communities we visit.

We employ a local Mongolian speaking nomad guide and a local Mongolian interpreter to lead this trek. They have worked as a team with us for 8years and are well loved by all participants.

Each evening after horse riding you camp with your small team and your horses close by, helping to feed and cool down your pony. Your final nights trekking is spent in traditional a nomadic ger style tented camp, with stories of nomadic life told around the camp fire.

We donate approx US $500 per trek to various projects including Cambridge Mongolian Disaster Appeal (CAMDA). CAMDA was created in July 2000 to raise public support for the nomads of Mongolia in the wake of the worst winter - in many parts of the country - for more than 50 years. The aftermath of that disaster and of two succeeding ones brought about by equally harsh winters, makes the appeal every bit as relevant today. Husbanding herd animals provides the nomads, effectively, with their sole means of support. In the winter of 1999-2000, 3.5 million of them died and as many more in the two winters following. The aim of CAMDA is to introduce measures in some of the worst affected districts and improve the summer grazing environment.

As a company we have also drastically reduced the carbon footprint of our UK operations, and are making a huge effort to do so in their destination countries too. We are also investing to offset the emissions from the international flights required to take part in our challenges.

We also provide travellers with a responsible tourism policy detailing ways in which you can be an ethical traveller. From packing conscientiously to advice on local customs & environmental awareness overseas to maintaining contact with your new international friends upon your return – our policy is a comprehensive document providing all the info you need to trek, climb of cycle responsibly.
