Mongolia Mountain Biking Trails

Mongolia is a vast and remote country defined by open steppes, rugged mountains, wide valleys and arid deserts. For mountain bikers, it offers a unique adventure experience, with long-distance routes across wild and sparsely populated landscapes, from the mountains around Ulaanbaatar to the endless grasslands of the steppe and the Gobi Desert.
The terrain is highly varied, ranging from flowing grassland and broad valleys to rocky mountain passes, rugged slopes and dry desert tracks. The low population density and limited infrastructure give many rides a true exploratory and backcountry character.

Mongolia is particularly well suited to long-distance MTB, bikepacking and adventure riding for those looking to explore far beyond conventional mountain-bike destinations. Rapidly changing weather, long distances between settlements and limited access to services mean riders should be self-sufficient and plan carefully, carrying enough water, food and navigation equipment.
