Our
exciting mountain biking route is located in the north of Mongolia not far from
the border with Siberia in an area rarely visited by tourists.
The
cycling is excellent and the terrain is 100% offroad riding consisting of gravel
(jeep) tracks, compacted mud (becoming more technical to ride if wet), steep rocky
passes, and long grassy slopes.
The route
require some technical skills to negotiate the steep rocky passes.
