Details

Mongolia remains a mysterious presence in the heart of Central Asia, a traditional country where visitors are still an unusual sight. Nomads wander the grasslands, setting up their white gers (tents) where the pasture is lush for their horses. On our bikes, we follow good trails across open steppe, into expansive mountain scenery and through larch and pine forests. Camping wild under the wide skies adds an adventurous edge to what is one of our most intrepid cycle tours. Adding to the experience, this special departure spends two days taking in traditional wrestling, archery, horse-riding, bone flicking and Mongolians dressed in their best clothes at the Naadam Festival in Ulaanbaatar.

Highlights

  • Discover a variety of landscapes as we cycle through open steppe and forests
  • Visit Erdene Zuu Monastery and Genghis Khan's ancient capital
  • Camp wild and stay overnight at hot springs
  • Attend Naadam Festival and witness traditional games
