Itinerary

Pedal into the wild heart of Central Asia with the "Cycling in Mongolia" tour, a challenging 15-day mountain biking adventure for experienced travelers hungry for untamed landscapes. Starting and ending in Ulaanbaatar, this journey takes you through Tsetserleg, Khairkhan, the Tamir River, and beyond—across open steppe, forested valleys, and rolling mountains where nomadic traditions remain strong.

You’ll follow well-chosen trails that showcase the region’s natural diversity, from larch and pine forests to vast grasslands dotted with white gers. Nights are spent camping beneath Mongolia’s endless sky, adding a true sense of adventure and camaraderie to the trip. Expect to encounter few other tourists, as this route traverses regions still largely untouched by mainstream travel.

The unique selling point of this tour package is the rare opportunity to experience Mongolia’s landscapes and culture from the vantage point of a mountain bike—combining physical challenge with immersive local encounters. For those seeking an intrepid cycling tour off the beaten path, this trip promises memories to last a lifetime.

day 1Adventure starts in Ulaanbaatar

Our cycling adventure starts in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia’s capital city. There are no activities planned for today to allow for different arrival times. If you have time to explore some of the sites we recommend visiting Sukhbaatar Square, the National Museum and the landmark State Department Store.
Around 6pm, say hello to your tour leader and fellow travellers, when we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead. Your tour leader then ensures a big welcome by arranging a group dinner at a nearby restaurant.
