Route and itinerary

Mountain bike enthusiasts have the opportunity to embark on this great route through Mongolia with Samar Magic Tours. On the first stage of the journey, we will visit the Amarbayasgalant Monastery, originally built in Chinese style between 1727 and 1737 by the Manchurian emperor Yongzheng, and dedicated to the Buddhist leader and sculptor “Zanabazar”. Bicycle route to the Uran – Togoo Tulga Inactive Volcano Nature Reserve. Bicycle route to Lake Ugii, located in Arkhangai Province. In the Central Region of Mongolia, a bicycle route through the Orkhon Valley, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2004, towards Karakorum—the ancient capital of the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan. We will visit the Gers, where nomadic herders live. Bicycle route to the beautiful Elsen Tasarkhai Dunes (known as the Bayangobi Desert, approximately 175 km / 109 miles), which are part of Mongolia’s sand dunes, stretching 80 km / 50 miles long and located approximately 280 km / 174 miles west of the capital, Ulaanbaatar. The nature of this area is truly spectacular and great for relaxation. During the trip, you will also have the opportunity to visit a local nomadic family, ride a two-humped Bactrian camel, walk on sand dunes, and hike and relax in beautifully serene nature. At sunset, we will admire a beautiful sunset over the dunes. The expanses are vast, with many hours of travel and high fuel expenses. A large part of the Mongolian population is still nomadic, moving from one place to another by horse, camel, or yak, with their Gers and herds, and the occasional encounter with one of these families and their way of life is an unforgettable experience. We emphasize that to enjoy this, the conditions described above must be accepted in advance, letting go of preconceived notions of how things should be according to our mindset, and being open to what this country can offer.
