One of the most remote and least developed countries in the world, Mongolia is emerging as a new frontier in mountain bike touring. Of the country’s 30,000 miles of road, only 3 percent are paved. The remaining 97 percent carve across unspoiled mountain ranges, high desert steppes, and past the yurt encampments of a nomadic Buddhist people whose culture has changed little in two thousand years. When was the last time you rode next to a Genghis Khan look-alike on a galloping horse?

Fly into the battered but vital capital city of Ulaanbaatar for a two-week jaunt on old roads and nontechnical horse trails over the Khangai Mountains to the waterfall of Ulaan Tsutgalan. Camp at night and ride some long, nontechnical routes during the days. You bring the bike.
