Some say that to appreciate Mongolia, one should travel by horse. However, traveling by bicycle through this land, you can truly experience the vastness and freedom of the Steppes with its living Nomadic culture – and bicycles do not run away at night nor need to eat!

Mongolia - Mt. Terelj National Park / Gobi Desert (M1-Gobi)

On this journey we travel through the heartland of Central Mongolia – Tov Aimag – renown for its hardy Nomadic herders and their herds of livestock. We start in the capital city Ulaanbaatar and head southwards through open rolling steppe, passing by the ruins of the ancient Manshir monastery. On the steppes we will meet many Nomadic families and be invited to visit their gers (yurts). After two days we swing northwards and enter the forested river valleys of the Terelj National Park. Here too we will encounter local herders camped besides the crystal clear waters of the upper Tuul river, which will provide us idyllic campsites and opportunity for swimming and fishing. Our final night in Terelj National park is spent in traditional Mongolian gers.  The journey culminates with a victory circuit of Sukhbaatar Square in honour of Mongolia’s revolutionary heroes (and the new revolutionaries on bike!).   Our next step is to the Gobi Desert, a region famous for wildlife and dinosaur fossils discovered by American scientists in the 1920’s.  We visit fascinating sights in the Gobi including Yolyn Am – Vulture’s Gorge – and the singing dunes of the Khongoriin Els.  We conclude our journey with a performance of traditional Mongolian song and dance by the world-famous Tumen Ekh dance troupe.
