Situated in high latitudes and high elevations, Mongolia is far from the moderating influences of the ocean. Consequently, it experiences a pronounced continental climate with very cold winters. Heavy snow occurs mainly in the mountain regions but fierce blizzards sweep across plains and steppes. Temperature can fall as low as -40 °C in January in capital, making it the coldest capital of the world. Elsewhere in mountains it can drop even as low as -50 ° C. However, Mongolia is accessible to everywhere during winter, free from tourist crowds. With right clothing and good preparation, it may turn to your dream trip. So don’t let yourself put off by cold, head into the wilderness on jeep tour, on a dog slide ride, on horses or camels, stay in toasty warm Gers, eat meat based traditional meals, have some vodka to confront cold and discover unique festivals held during winter. Spectacular winter wonders await you during low season.

Mongolia is a biker’s dream. To begin with, only 10% of the country is paved. To add, it is one of the least heavily populated countries on the planet. To spice the story, the land is for everyone to share, which means you can ride and camp pretty much anywhere you want.
The majority of our route is made up of rolling and grassy terrain with the exception of covering occasionally some reasonably difficult passes.
A vast expanse of wilderness, sparsely populated country with ancient nomadic people who find solitude here on the edge of civilization. Endless wildlife – snow leopards, brown bear, Gobi bear, Saiga antelopes, black tailed gazelles, vultures, golden eagles, falcon, snow peacock, salmon, taimen, Siberian ibex, moose, Przewalski’s horse, wild ass, wolves and more – that still reign supreme in the mountains, rivers, lakes, desert and endless steppes. Mighty glaciers that reveal themselves in the highest peaks and flow to the valley floors. A landscape that is little changed from the unexplored world of a century ago. To walk and hike amongst its wonders is one of the great experiences of our time.
Mongolian horses are native to the steppes of Central Asia. Over many centuries, their position in Mongolian nomads’ daily lives has remained largely unchanged. Mongolia’s horse population outnumbers the human population. Horses live outside all year, in temperatures ranging from 30 degrees Celsius in the summer to -40 degrees Celsius in the winter, and they graze and hunt for food on their own. Horses are used for both riding and transport. They are used by nomads for both everyday work and horse racing. Airag, a common national beverage, is made from mare’s milk. Mongolians have a high regard for their horses, and they are given a higher status. Horses were crucial to the Mongolian Empire’s conquests in the 13th century.
“A Mongol without a horse is like a bird without wings,” as the saying goes.
Mongolian camels known as Bactrian camels are native to the steppes of Central Asia. They were domesticated thousands of years ago to carry goods and people across Asia. Mongolian camels are exceptionally adept at withstanding wide variations in temperature ranging from +40 degree summers to -40 degree winters and when nourished they can go without eating and drinking for weeks. They have a remarkable ability to go without water for months at a time but when water is available they may drink up to 60 liters at once. Their humps act as fat reserves for energy. At the end of summer their humps are plump and erect but as resources decline, they shrink and lean to sides. Adapted for desert conditions, the camels can carry 200 kg on long journeys. The Bactrian camels permit nomads to transport heavy loads through desert and other inhospitable terrain.
