Khangai Mountain & Orkhon Valley Bike Trail

This is a suggestion for a tailor-made tour which we can run for groups of 4 or more people, at dates of your choice.

This exciting 200km route starts at Tsetserleg town in the central Mongolian province of Arkhangai and finishes at Kharkhorin which was the capital of the great Mongol Empire ruled by Genghis Khan. It passes along the Orkhon river valley which has a rich history as the centre of several kingdoms dating back more than two thousand years, and continues onwards through varied mountain, forest and open steppe scenery. The volcanic rocky ground near the Orkhon waterfall are most dramatic.

The riding is 100% off road, following rough jeep tracks most of the way, with a number of river crossings. The highest point is at 2000 meters. It is a part of Mongolia rarely seen by tourists so there are no facilities and we will camp in tents most nights.
