Mongolia Bulgan Cycling Holiday

Cycling through Mongolia is a unique blend of adventure, culture, and history, taking you across one of the world’s last untouched frontiers. The country’s varied terrain—lush pastures, wooded mountains, and sweeping grasslands—offers a stunning backdrop to a journey that feels like a step back in time. 

The tour begins in Ulaanbaatar, where you’ll immerse yourself in Mongolia’s rich history and vibrant culture. Highlights include the National Museum, showcasing artifacts from the Stone Age to modern times, and the Erdene Zuu monastery, a remnant of Mongolia’s first Buddhist complex. The iconic statue of Genghis Khan and bustling central square are cultural staples that set the tone for the journey ahead.

As you cycle through the countryside, the timeless nomadic lifestyle unfolds before you. Pedal past herds of horses, sheep, and goats while encountering nomadic camps where hospitality knows no bounds. Sampling traditional dairy products like airag (fermented mare’s milk) and witnessing the intricate process of its creation provides a deep connection to Mongolia’s heritage.

The terrain is as diverse as it is captivating, from grassy valleys to rocky mountain passes. Highlights include the Orkhon Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with historical significance, and Tsenkher’s hot springs, where you can relax after a rewarding day’s ride.

Each night, under the vast Mongolian skies, camp in the wilderness or stay in traditional yurts, soaking in the serene beauty of this unspoiled land. From start to finish, cycling in Mongolia offers not only a physical challenge but also a soulful journey through the heart of this storied nation.
