World Expeditions has unveiled a new global collection of horse trekking journeys, inviting travellers to experience some of the world's most remote and culturally rich regions in the most traditional way possible: on horseback.

Developed in partnership with local communities in destinations where riding remains central to daily life, these journeys offer an intimate way to explore wide-open landscapes, deep-rooted traditions and the steady rhythm of nomadic travel. Each itinerary is operated with a strong commitment to animal welfare. Recognized by World Animal Protection for having one of the industry's leading animal welfare policies, World Expeditions ensures that horses are cared for responsibly and with respect at every stage of the journey.

“The idea didn't come from a boardroom – it came from the trail,” says Sue Badyari, CEO of World Expeditions. “Over the years, we've seen the profound connection travellers experience when riding alongside herders on the Mongolian steppe or navigating the Himalayan valleys of Mustang by horse. These journeys offered something deeper than scenery; they're a gateway into a culture shaped by the rhythm of hoofbeats and a way of life guided by generations in the saddle.”

“Horse culture runs deep in each of these countries,” continues Sue. “From the nomadic herders of Mongolia to the yak caravans of Mustang and the rugged gauchos of Patagonia, horses remain essential companions in these regions. This new series honours that legacy while offering travellers a meaningful way to connect with nature and community.”

The new series features six horse trekking adventures, now available in:

• Central Mongolia
• Upper Mustang, Nepal
• Dolpo, Nepal
• Kyrgyzstan
• Patagonia
• Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

A highlight: Riding to the end of the world

One standout journey travels deep into Tierra del Fuego, where riders depart from Ushuaia and head into the remote Mitre Peninsula on sturdy Criollo horses. Vast pampas, lenga forests, rugged coastlines, glacier-fed river crossings and nights in rustic shelters and estancias create an unforgettable sense of wilderness at the edge of the world.

Travel at a horse's pace

From the high valleys of Dolpo to the sweeping grasslands of Central Mongolia and the dramatic coastal landscapes of Patagonia, each itinerary offers a rare opportunity to disconnect, slow down and experience landscapes shaped by centuries of riding tradition.

All six journeys are now open for booking. Explore the full collection at worldexpeditions.com/Horse-Treks
