Bulgan Mountain Biking
Mongolia
8 days
Active
Off-road
Supported
This exciting trail in the northern provinces of Bulgan and Selenge, passes through varied and beautiful landscapes with wide fertile valleys, forests of silver birch and poplar, rivers and mountain passes.
There are a few villages along the way, but most of the population are nomadic and live in the traditional round white gers. Depending on how much rain has fallen, wild flowers may be abundant, and there is a good chance of seeing eagles, cranes, vultures, partridge, falcons and other interesting birds along the way.
The tour begins with an overnight train journey from Ulaanbaatar to Erdenet, the second of only three cities in the country, developed around the copper mining industry. After five days cycling we arrive at the spectacular monastery of Amarbayasgalant, a series of marvellously restored Manchurian style temples situated in remote mountains not far from the Russian border. We return to Ulaanbaatar by jeep.
