Mongolia

As one of the true traveling frontiers, Mongolia offers a 'once in a lifetime experience' for the adventurous cyclist. A mountain biking tour of Mongolia will take us across vast landscapes, snow-capped mountains, dramatic gorges, and sparkling lakes. We'll stay in felt homes of the nomad, hear the cry of eagles, visit Buddhist temples, ancient ruins, see abundant wildlife and experience legendary hospitality. Contrast this with the 'new' Mongolia where Internet Cafes dot street corners in Ulaanbaatar, herders chat on mobile phones, be spoilt by the choice of cocktail bars and vegetarian cafes. Mongolia truly is a place where old traditions survive and the wild nature remains intact.
