Through the steppe
Tour 181
With our MTB tour to the central highlands and Mongolian grass steppe, which leads only on unpaved roads and includes overnight stays in traditional yurts, we have worked out a tour that will inspire every nature-loving biker.
The bike tour will take you to the north and central part of Mongolia. You will experience a lot of grass steppe, challenging passes and various river crossings. All without “exhaust fumes and oncoming traffic”. The balanced weather in summer and the service by our escort team are further highlights of this unusual bike tour in the central part of Asia.
14 days in the steppe.
Mongolia is in large parts still completely unknown. The isolation between the two big partners Russia and China and of course also by the situation as a high plateau, has contributed to it.
Mongolia is the most sparsely populated country on earth, has only a few roads and all the more off-road tracks. So an optimal country for the mountain biker.
