Mongolia

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Mongolia is a landlocked country in Central Asia, sandwiched between Russia and China, and home to one of the world's last great wilderness frontiers. It's renowned for the vast Gobi Desert in the south, rolling steppe grasslands, rugged mountain ranges, and a nomadic culture that has persisted for thousands of years. Travellers come for horseback riding across open plains, staying in traditional ger camps, trekking in the Altai Mountains, and experiencing festivals like Naadam — a celebration of wrestling, archery, and horse racing. Ulaanbaatar, the capital, serves as the gateway to the countryside and offers a growing arts and nightlife scene alongside its Soviet-era architecture.

Self-Launched Cycling in Mongolia – Naadam Festival

An epic self-launched cycling adventure across the Mongolian steppe, tackling mountain passes, river valleys, and larch forests on a hired mountain bike — all without the group tour price tag. You'll follow the same legendary route from Erdenet through the Khangai Mountains to ancient Karakorum, and cap it off with two days at the UNESCO-listed Naadam Festival in Ulaanbaatar. By arranging your own bike hire, booking your own transport, and camping wild (as is your legal right across Mongolia's open steppe), you can replicate virtually every highlight of the Exodus tour at a fraction of the cost. All costs are approximate estimates per person.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Mongolia yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
