redspokes 15-day Gobi Desert to the Khangai Mountains cycling holiday offers challenging biking in the dramatic Mongolian wilds riding on sandy track, rutted riverbeds and dry sanded terrain.  Our tour begins in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia's vibrant capital, where ancient culture and 21^st Century traditions forge a unique path.

Our cycling begins here as we ride across the Gurvan Saikhan mountain range and wide-open plains to the Khongoriin Els ‘singing’ Sand Dunes renowned for their ever-changing crests which hum in the wind. Our only encounters will be with nomadic herders grazing their livestock on the summer pastures. We will camp in river valleys, stay in traditional Ger camps and experience a traditional way of life that has remained unchanged over centuries.
