Cycle Mongolia
This challenge takes you off-road, from the edge of the Gobi Desert, across the stunning Khangai Mountains and on to the historic capital city of Karakorum. You’ll camp under stars, scale mountains and encounter nomadic people still living a traditional way of life herding yaks and goats and inhabiting circular felt tents called gers. You will feel like you’ve peddaled back in time!

It's an incredible way to see a country, away from the tourist trail, seeing how the locals really live. The bonding with fellow cyclists is a highlight and truly makes friendships and shared memories that last for years. In the 3 trips I have done, I have discovered sceneries and enjoyed experiences I could barely have imagined before my first cycle. And knowing as well that my efforts are helping children to overcome a physical challenge, far harder than the toughest cycle, is the ultimate satisfaction. I would recommend to anyone.
