World Expeditions has expanded its responsible adventure offering with the launch of a new Horse Trek Series, introducing six itineraries designed to immerse travellers in some of the world’s most remote and culturally significant regions.
The program spans Argentina, Chile, Nepal’s Dolpo and Mustang regions, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia, each chosen for its deep equestrian heritage and strong connection between local communities and the landscape.
The collection provides an alternative to traditional trekking, giving travellers the chance to explore challenging environments at a slower, more accessible pace. The journeys aim to deepen cultural understanding while supporting regional economies and preserving long-standing traditions.
Celebrating global horse cultures
No it’s not a boy band, this is your transport for the next week
The series highlights destinations where horses remain integral to local identity — from the gaucho heartlands of Patagonia and the baqueano-led trails of the Chilean Andes to the nomadic grasslands of Mongolia and the yak caravan routes of the Himalayas. World Expeditions has designed each itinerary to reflect local practices and ensure community involvement in planning and delivery.
Travellers can expect itineraries that prioritise connection, storytelling and immersion, offering a level of engagement not possible through standard sightseeing.
Strong commitment to animal welfare
World Expeditions has long been recognised for its leadership in ethical animal tourism. The Horse Trek Series has been developed in line with the company’s rigorous welfare standards, created to ensure the health, safety and appropriate treatment of all animals involved. These standards are supported by internationally recognised animal-welfare organisations and integrated across the operator’s global programs.
Local partners have been trained in specialised handling, care and responsible travel practices, ensuring the journeys benefit both animals and host communities.
Six itineraries now available for booking
The new series offers options across a diverse range of landscapes:
- Argentina: Remote riding through the wild terrain of Tierra del Fuego.
- Chile: Andean routes accessible only with the help of local horsemen.
- Dolpo, Nepal: A rare opportunity to explore one of Nepal’s most secluded mountain regions.
- Kyrgyzstan: Alpine meadows, nomadic cultures and Silk Road heritage.
- Mongolia: Steppe journeys guided by herders, with stays in traditional dwellings.
- Mustang, Nepal: A high-altitude exploration of a culturally rich former Himalayan kingdom.
Each departure is led by local guides and designed for small groups, providing a slower style of travel that encourages reflection and authentic engagement.
