It’s an unparalleled opportunity to explore two of Mongolia’s most iconic regions—the Khangai and Gobi—while immersing yourself in the country’s deep-rooted heritage, vibrant culture, and stunning natural beauty—an experience few travelers ever have. In other words, it allows you to ‘kill two birds with one stone.’ It also offers the advantage of experiencing the tour at a more affordable price. Mongolia is much more than what you expect.
Cycling through the Khangai and Gobi regions offers a diverse and thrilling experience with ever-changing landscapes and road conditions. In the Khangai Mountains, riders traverse rolling green hills, dense forests, and river valleys, mostly on dirt and gravel roads. The terrain varies with challenging climbs and exciting descents. Summers are mild, with cool mornings and warm afternoons, though occasional rain can make trails muddy.
The Gobi Desert presents a different challenge, with compact dirt paths, sandy tracks, and rocky terrain requiring good bike handling skills. Vast open plains, dramatic canyons, and rugged landscapes make for an unforgettable ride. The Gobi’s climate is more extreme—hot, dry days contrast with cooler nights, and strong winds add to the adventure.

In addition to the cycling, this journey offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in Mongolia’s soul—the nomadic way of life. You’ll visit traditional nomad families living in their gers (yurts), where you can experience firsthand the timeless hospitality of the Mongolian people. Staying in a ger allows you to connect with the environment and learn about the daily lives of the nomads, who live in harmony with nature and have a deep connection to the land.You’ll also have the chance to meet local people, learning about their traditions, customs, and unique way of life. Mongolian horseback riding and camel riding are integral to the nomadic culture, and you’ll experience these iconic activities yourself, riding through the vast expanses of the Gobi Desert or the lush valleys of the Khangai Mountains.
Despite the varying conditions, cycling through these two regions is incredibly rewarding, offering breathtaking views and a deep connection with Mongolia’s untamed wilderness. Whether riding through lush mountains, vast deserts, or staying with nomads in their gers, this journey promises an unforgettable adventure, rich in culture and natural beauty.
