Exciting mountain biking route in the provinces of Bulgan and Selenge, south of the border with Siberia. We travel by train from Ulaanbaatar to the start of the trail at the copper mining city of Erdenet. The mountains, forests, rivers and valleys we ride through are remote, inhabited only by nomadic families with their herds of animals. Towards the end of the trail, when we still feel as though we are in the middle of nowhere, we suddenly come upon the fantastic Amarbayasgalant monastery. It was built in the early 18th century during the period of Manchu domination, and is one of the largest and best Buddhist monasteries in the country.

  • Overnight train to Erdenet comfortable with sleeping compartments
  • Bulgan province in northern Mongolia is fertile, partly forested
  • The Selenge river is the largest river running into Lake Baikal
  • Amarbayasgalant Monastery built to house remains of Zanabazar


During 5 days cycling we cover a distance of approximately 300km, mainly on rough jeep tracks (classed as 98% off-road). There are river crossings, mountain passes and long grassy valleys, with a few technical sections. The trail is suitable for riders of some experience and is graded moderate. However, there is full vehicle support, so riders with less experience can always get a lift if necessary.

MTB TOUR GRADING

We have designed all our own routes and know the track, scenery, river crossings or bridges, climbs or technical sections, and camping places for each trip. The combined use of jeeps and bikes allows us to see a substantial part of Mongolia, with its wild and varied scenery. Daily riding distances vary from 70 - 100 km, therefore stamina is required.
