Rider and pack horses in Yukon, Canada
Pack Trip

Expeditions and Pack Trips

Pack trips are real horseback adventures and journeys. Long trail rides where your belongings are often transported by pack animals such as horses, yaks or camels, enable you to reach isolated areas, forgotten high valleys and meet local people and learn about their traditions. These rides often involve camping as you venture off the beaten track and will have to pack light. You might be expected to help with the horses or to help around camp as well, so these adventurous riding holidays are for riders with a sense of adventure. Having pack animals with you means that these horseback trails are not fast and so it is often possible for novice riders to also enjoy the sense of freedom these trail rides offer.

    Don‘t Go on this trip! I can not recommend it at all. The guides were not professional and I didn’t feel safe. Your service was very professional, thank you for that.
