This classic Mongolian mountain biking adventure traverses the vast Khangai Mountains, which cover nearly one-fifth of Mongolia. Characterized by dome-shaped peaks, mixed forests, clear streams, and lush grassy valleys, the region enjoys more rainfall than most other parts of the country, creating ideal riding conditions and striking natural beauty.
The Khangai is an immense cycling playground, offering smooth packed soils, diverse terrain, and spectacular landscapes. Along the way, experience an authentic nomadic culture as you meet hospitable herdsmen and stop by their homes for a bowl of fresh milk or a taste of yak butter. Daily rides are accompanied by scenes of grazing yaks, sheep, and goats, and by large herds of horses galloping freely across the steppe.
This fully guided and supported tour leads you to the hidden corners of the range at a relaxed pace, allowing for an immersive connection with the land and its people. Much as they have for centuries, Mongolian nomads continue to live in harmony with nature, relying on their livestock and traditional ways of life.
With only occasional mountain passes and river crossings, most routes follow smooth, rideable tracks. Each evening, unwind at comfortable campsites beneath star-filled skies, completing each day with a sense of wilderness and serenity. The journey also includes time in Ulaanbaatar, where the country’s vibrant capital offers a lively cultural contrast to the remote landscapes of the Khangai.
