Early in the morning, our guide and driver will pick you up from your location and drive 70 km east of Ulaanbaatar to the world’s largest equestrian statue, a 40 m tall stainless-steel statue of mounted Genghis Khan. Upon entering the statue complex, there is a small museum, souvenir shop, and a lift that takes you to flights of stairs upwards to the top of the horse’s head, allowing you to get a panoramic view of the surrounding grasslands. During your visit, our guide will assemble the bikes so we can start cycling. Although near the capital of Mongolia, you will get a chance to cycle up and down on hilly steppe dirt roads through vast valleys that stretch beyond the horizon, pass by animal herds, and visit modern nomadic families for a chance to experience their unique lifestyle. The first 12 km will have ups and downs on small hills. Then, stop for a short tea break and continue cycling until lunch at the 26th km. We continue cycling gently, going down through a valley with animal herds and Mongolian felt homes called a ger; you may visit families and see how nomadic people are living nowadays. At the 52nd km, our cycling trip will end at the top of a small hill that has an “ovoo” – a sacred stone heap built to worship deities of nature. From here, we assemble the bikes onto the support vehicle(s) and head towards Ulaanbaatar.
