Bulgan MTB Trail & Cultural Experience 2009


1st - 9th September 2009 only Euros €1195


This exciting trail in the northern provinces of Bulgan and Selenge,  passes through varied and beautiful landscapes with wide fertile valleys, forests of silver birch and poplar, rivers and mountain passes. There are a few villages along the way, but most of the population are nomadic and live in the traditional round white gers. Depending on how much rain has fallen,  wild flowers may be abundant, and there is a good chance of seeing eagles, cranes, vultures, partridge, falcons and other interesting birds along the way.

The trail is classed as moderate,  requiring some technical skill to manage the steep rocky passes. Riding through the forests and over mountains on rocky tracks sometimes blocked by fallen trees will be quite challenging. The daily riding distance is between 40km and 70km,  depending on the terrain,  and the total trail is nearly 300 km.
