Trails and Terrain  

 

Mongolia is the ideal country for an off-road experience since this   Mountain Bike Routes ©BikeMongolia  country the size of Western Europe has only a few hundred kilometers of black-topped roads. The rest of the land is connected by a network of rough jeep tracks and horse trails linking small communities and seasonal pastures. You have a unique opportunity to ride wherever you want because most of the land is not privately owned, so you are not even restricted to the jeep tracks and horse trails.


Accommodation  

 

In order to provide you with the most comfortable and suitable accommodation in the wildest places, we have teamed up with Vango and their branch Force 10 to give you a high quality camping experience. We have chosen models such as the Baltoro and the Vango Storm 300
Vango Storm 300 Three Man 4 Season Tent
   ForceTen Baltora Extreme Expedition Tent
which suit the extreme weather as well as client requirements. All our tents are kept in good condition and have been proven to withstand heavy rain, strong winds and even snow up in the mountains during the summer. They have double doors with mosquito netting, to allow through draft when it is hot.


Bike Maintenance  

 

Mountain Bike maintenance ©BikeMongoliaIf you decide to hire one of our bikes, you will see that they are cleaned and serviced by professional staff throughout the duration of your trip. Mountain Bike Maintenance
Mountain Bike Maintenance & Service
is very important so we don't hire our bikes out to people if they aren't coming with us on one of our trips, so you can be sure that the bikes have been looked after well in the past.


Support vehicles  

 

All our vehicles are owned and maintained by us and driven by our own company drivers. We do not hire vehicles from outside, nor do we use drivers who we do not know. Our vehicles include the Kamaz 43114 6x6 expedition bus and Russian UAZ Forgons as well as Land Rover Defender 110, 130 & British Reynolds Boughton RB44
Dodge 50 Cargo Truck 4x4 Reynolds Boughton RB44
Dodge 50 Cargo 4x4 Trucks.

  Kamaz 43114 Expedition Vehicle ©BikeMongolia

You might see many of these Russian UAZ Forgon 4 X 4
New UAZ Forgon 4 X 4 Van`s
in the Mongolian countryside because these are the best 4X4 people carriers in Mongolia. Just like the famous Land Rover Defender, the style of the forgon has altered little over the past 40 years during which it has served the Russian and Mongolian Military. The UAZ 4 x 4 has a basic simple engine making it easy to maintain. They can carry up to 12 people and are fully equipped for off-road conditions.


Tour Leaders  

 

When you make a booking, you will receive a Tour Dossier
Mountain Bike Daily Route Plan
in which there is a complete list of all you need to take in the way of equipment, clothing, medicines, etc.. Generally speaking we have the tools that we are likely to need for maintenance and repair of our own (hired) mountain bikes, but you will need to bring your own helmet and suitable clothing.


Food & Drinks  

 

A professional cook will provide three substantial meals each day and for larger groups the kitchen tent
Dinning Table & Mess Tent
is used. She can cater for vegetarians if informed in advance. Meals are a mixture of European and Mongolian dishes. Bottled mineral water or pure spring water is provided, as well as snacks for break times.

Riding mainly off-road across remote mountains and river valleys, it is 600 km from Ulaanbaatar to the village where the great leader of the Mongol Empire was born 800 years ago. His mother cooked horse spleen soup on that day, so the lake that now covers the place where their ger once stood is known as "Spleen Lake".
