Hello! Finally crossing off my life long bucket list item of horse trekking in Mongolia next week. I’ll be in the Altai region for around 6 days and wanted some tips on what to pack. Grew up horse back riding for a few years but no longer own any gear, so I did some research on Reddit/fb/youtube etc and currently have these items prepared:
- half chaps
- gloves (thermal, will also use for riding)
- padded cycling shorts
- anti chafing cream
- baby wipes
- thermal layers, hiking pants, rain pants, rain jacket, etc etc
- day pack for riding
Helmet and sleeping bags will be provided by the guide. Is there anything I’m missing? Are there any items more generic for trekking/outdoors that I’m missing from my list? Also, I’m a woman unfortunately scheduled to get my period during the trek :( would love some recs on any additional hygienic/feminine products that would come in handy, as well as any tips/advice in general
Thank you!!
