Itinerary description

Start cycling from the northern edge of the Gobi desert and traverse the Khangai Mountain range. Challenge 2000m passes and enjoy breath-taking descents into valleys of nomadic herders who graze large flocks of sheep and goats on green pastures. The extreme climate of central Asia has shaped this tolerant and friendly people. Mongolia has always been imagined as the land of vast grasslands and of arid plains roamed by innumerable yaks and horses. But this is true only to an extent. This cycling tour will allow you to experience the part of Mongolia that is dominated by high mountains, woods and that receives a relatively high amount of rain.

14 day biking tour with 8 cycling days included. Well planned route on friendly terrain. Authentic cultural experiences, full expedition support, good food, comfortable camping and professional guides! Overnights are in tents and gers (traditional felt tents).
