This small Balkan country is full of splendid highlights and discovering this cultural land by bike is an invigorating and enriching experience. Macedonia is simultaneously ancient and modern – stately Orthodox monks in their black robes amble alongside the fashionable elite in the stylish bars of Skopje.
This tour is a true mountain bike experience with routes and trails to challenge the determination and the legs of those that love riding dirt.
The daily rewards for your efforts are majestic: views that stop the breath and remain as visual reminders of Macedonia's sublime beauty, other worldly mountain villages with charming architecture preserved from a time past, an array of flora and fauna endemic to these unique Balkan mountains, and fresh as dew, clear as crystal glacial lakes that dazzle the mind.
Our route climbs through a series of Macedonia's gorgeous ranges and we scale several imposing mountains over the course of our riding.

Vast, remote and breathtaking, Mongolia is a country of wild, unspoiled beauty. The land of Genghis Khan, Mongolia rose under this extraordinary leader to become the largest land empire in global history. Today, modern Mongolia is divided between the bustle of its cities and the nomadic lifestyle that still dominates the expansive countryside. Cycle a tour like no other; challenge yourself to overcome rocky trails, soak in ancient ruins, and adventure forth across the barren landscape. This is off-road biking at its truest.
Navigate your mountain bike over the hilly steppes, granite formations, and extensive sand dunes of this rugged terrain. Tackle the Khangai Mountain range to achieve spectacular views of the Gobi desert at its peak. Find peace among the rugged, solitary scenery: an endless horizon of rolling plateaus and mountains. Encounter the local herders watching intently over their grazing flocks of yaks and horses in the Shargaljuut river valley.
Climb the grassy trail up to the top of the Morin Pass before freewheeling down the other side to sleep in traditional Mongolian gers on the banks of the river. Wake up from your overnight stay to a sunrise beyond compare and discover the real Mongolia, untamed by the restraints of civilization.

Bali has a reputation as one of the most spectacular island paradises in the world, where enduring spiritual traditions combine with awe-inspiring natural beauty for a sublime effect. With fast flowing rivers, deep canyons, crater lakes, and volcanoes dominating its interior landscape, Bali’s contrasts offer surprises at every turn. The island’s multitude of tracks and trails connect its remote villages and provide endless opportunities for adventure and fascinating glimpses of the Balinese way of life. Mountain biking enthusiasts will love everything Bali has to offer!
After landing in Denpasar, Bali’s main urban centre, we will whisk you out to a nearby village where you unwind after your journey and hit the beach before the cycling begins. The next morning, we will head up to the slopes of Mount Batur, the gigantic volcano to the north. We ride across lava fields and explore the base of the volcanic cone. Our next ride takes us down the slopes and across a mountain pass between two other volcanoes, Abang and Agung. We emerge at a beach once more, this time on the eastern coast of Bali. The following day’s ride is an exploration of mighty Mount Agung, including the ruins of a Hindu water palace. We spend the night at beautiful Candidasa Beach. Heading to the highlands once more, we ride from the slopes of Agung down to the famous spiritual and artistic centre of Ubud. After exploration of the town and a good night’s sleep, embark on a loop ride out of the town and into the surrounding rice paddies and jungle ravines, coming across beautiful sculptures and temples among the groves. Celebrate with a final night dinner, and the next day, head back to Denpasar for your onward journey or more time at the seaside.
Join us on this 7-day mountain bike adventure amid the radiant beauty of Bali!
