This is a brand new mountain biking route located north of Ulaanbaatar in the provinces of Bulgan and Selenge. Travel by train to reach the copper mining town of Erdenet, from where we ride into the remote and beautiful mountains. The area is inhabited mainly by nomadic people with their herds of horses and sheep. We will meet some families along the way and see their fascinating lifestyle, which has changed little in centuries.
The tour concludes at Amarbayasgalant monastery, the best preserved and most extensive and fantastic Buddhist monastery in Mongolia.
