Cycle the Khangai Mountains with Naadam Festival

The Naadam Festival is the biggest annual celebration of Mongolia held during mid-July when the weather is most pleasant and the grass is greenest. Top competitors from all around the country partake in the three manly games of wrestling, horse racing, and archery. After enjoying the festivities, begin your 430-kilometer fully-supported cycling journey through the Khangai Mountains – one of the largest mountain ranges of Mongolia. Feel pristine nature cycling through lush valleys, forested hills, mighty mountains, and cross knee-deep rivers of central Mongolia. Get acquainted with nomadic culture by visiting herder families and see large flocks of grazing livestock including yaks and semi-wild horses. Camp out each evening in scenic spots including nights near river banks under thousands of stars.
