The Stunning Beauty of the Aurora Borealis in Mongolia

Imagine standing under a starlit sky, the air crisp and cold, as waves of green, pink, and purple lights dance above you. The aurora borealis, or northern lights, is one of nature's most breathtaking phenomena. While commonly associated with the polar regions, this magical display can also be seen in Mongolia, offering a unique and unforgettable experience. It was reported that the appearance of the aurora in Mongolia was the result of a geomagnetic storm. Solar storms release high-energy particles and electromagnetic radiation that race toward Earth, where the planet's magnetic field attracts them to latitudes near the north and south poles, where they collide with molecules or atoms in the atmosphere to produce the luminescent aurora. The phenomenon lasted a few minutes making its fleeting beauty even more precious and mysterious.

steppe rider horseback tour・12.0 days

Traveling Mongolia on horseback is a real taste of Mongolia. The strong Mongolian horses with a shoulder height of 1.6 m may look like ponies. Even though, the horses played a significant role when Genghis Khaan and his successors conquered half of the world in the 13th century. On this horse riding tour, we will head to Naiman Nuur/Eight Lakes lie 2400 m above sea level in the Khangai Mountain Range. This scenic place is accessible on horseback or hiking from the northern side. The Eight Lakes are called Shireet, Mukhar, Khaliut, Bugat, Khaya, Duruu, Khuis, and Onon located 500 m to 3 km to each other. A volcanic eruption created the lakes. 11,500 hectares area of the Eight Lakes has been protected under state protection since 1992 and being kept well due to its remoteness. The first half of our riding will take place in hilly steppes while the last days will be in mountainous and forested areas. Visiting and learning about the distinctive way of nomadic life is an inseparable part of our horseback adventures.
