The Khangai Mountain Traverse is a private, guided mountain bike tour in Mongolia, offering beautiful views of diverse landscapes and the lifestyles of Mongolian people, including nomads and locals in small villages. Days are split between driving and cycling, with support provided due to Mongolia's vast territory and weak infrastructure. The tour traverses various terrains including high mountain passes and river crossings, with a support team ensuring cyclists are cared for. There's an option to use a vehicle if needed. The tour starts with arrival in Ulaanbaatar, offering an optional city tour including Gandantegchinlen Monastery and Bogd Khan's Winter & Summer Palace. The journey then proceeds to Arvaikheer, a town known for traditional crafts and cashmere goat herding. The itinerary includes cycling through the rugged Khangai Mountains, with opportunities to visit hot springs, monasteries, and historical sites like Karakorum. Accommodation is a mix of hotels and camps. Hotels are 2 and 3-star with modern conveniences, while camps provide basic supplies and camping gear. The tour can be customized, and prices vary based on group size, room types, customizations, and travel dates. The best time to travel is July-September for favorable weather conditions.
