BIKING TOURS
Cycling is perhaps the best way to discover a place while exercising body and soul.
Mongolia is dirt track heaven and there is no better way to connect with the wide open spaces of Mongolia countryside than on pedals and wheels.
Our bicycle tours have been specifically designed to make the most of experiencing the land as we follow little used tracks though some of the most spectacular scenic parts of the country.
Apart from the eco-advantage, cycling also provides an unique cultural experience as you will have all the time to greet and meet nomads along the way.
Our bicycle tours are organized with the view that the travel experience counts more than distance covered.
They are unique in that they have been designed with input from experienced and passionate cyclists who have covered thousands of kilometers in Asia and Europe on their bicycles.
We invite you to get bitten by the pedal bug in the land of the nomads and eternal blue sky.
Sign up for one of our pre-designed tours or contact us for tailor-made trips.
In particular, we can adapt the routes according to your sporting level.
