About this experience
This one-day cycling experience is ideal for travellers seeking a blend of fun, gentle exercise and Mongolia’s timeless scenery. The journey begins with a short transfer to the giant statue of Chinggis Khan on horseback. While the bikes are being prepared, enjoy a panoramic view of the vast grassland from an observation deck on the horse’s head. From here, you’ll cycle at your own pace along peaceful country roads, passing through wooded hillsides and wide open valleys. Along the way, you’ll glimpse a way of life that has remained unchanged for centuries — large flocks of yaks, sheep and goats grazing freely, and the round felt tents of local herders scattered across the landscape. A picnic lunch awaits at the day’s highest point, set in a lush meadow framed by wooded slopes. The afternoon ride is a relaxed roll through open valley terrain, with nomadic homes dotting the scenery. The ride concludes by 5 pm, when the bikes are loaded for a two-hour return drive to Ulaanbaatar.

Excellent excursion and company!
Fabulous experience — I highly recommend! The starting point is about 90min from the city center making it an easy day trip. The day with Zolo and Ogi was perfect— they accommodated my skill level, had safe and well outfitted equipment and packed a nice lunch. The scenery is unreal and the ride was fun and accessible for most levels. The museum is a nice addition as well. More impressive was that the guides from Mongolian Trekking actually helped me when I was in a bind on a different day in Mongolia. It’s a long story but I was in a bind and sent a WhatsApp to them as the only locals I knew. Zolo looked out for my well being as a solo female traveler and managed me safely out of a tricky situation through his local contacts and knowledge — all on his day off! Really amazing people at this company. Wish I knew about them before I arrived and I would have booked another excursion with this group.

Perfect experience to discover the country side if you like biking
On a business trip in Ulaanbaatar for 2 weeks, I had a day to enjoy the countryside. This daytrip is the perfect option if you like biking. Only ~45 minutes from Ulaanbaatar center, includes transportation, a visit of the amazing Gengis Khan statue water and the meal. The route is beautiful, lot of animals perfect for discovering the countryside. The journey is not very difficult, about 50 km, perfect to enjoy the view. Very happy with this day, and a big thank you to the very friendly guides!

Great guides & beautiful views
This was a great day trip filled with great views and excellent company from our guides Zola and Orgi. The first part of the day saw us climb the Ghengis Khan statue. Zola had excellent knowledge and shared some history with us about Genghis Khan and his empire. We then drove to our starting spot and set off on the bikes. What a stunning way to soak up the rolling mountains. We were able to ride past sheep horses and Gers dotted across the hillside, which was special. We stopped a few times for photos and a break (what comes up must come down) with grest hospitality from the guides providing food and conversation. In short, excellent service and beautiful views - it was easy on the eyes but tough on the thighs!
Response from the operator: Thank you Will for your feedback. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Mongolia. Best Regards, Zolo

Epic Day Riding the Steppe with Samba!
This stopover destination became a highlight of our trip thanks to Samba with Mongolia Trekking. We booked easily online and the info was all accurate and helpful. Samba met us with a sign right at the train. Got us a good breakfast then he and the friendly driver took us out to the Genghis Khan Monument. Not only did they tune in to our comfort, prep, safety and skills; Samba is an amazing Ambassador for his country; full of knowledge as an educator, too! The excursion plan has a nice balance of sharing the area, history and culture without feeling rushed or that you are missing out on the ride aspect of the adventure. What an adventure we had! We were unprepared for the spectacular beauty or the thrilling interactions with herds on the steppe. Samba went above and beyond in all things and made sure that the ride he planned fit us and our travel profile, such a keen sense for that. He fine tuned my bike seat, took pics, shared great stories, even cleaned out my shoes after a bit of a mud foot bath (no extra charge!) was the cost of my one shortcut. What stood out was how capable Samba was at ensuring that every aspect of our visit turned out well, even helping us plan the following day with his local insights. The driver tailed us on the ride, managed lunch, water, gear then together they dropped us at the door of our (out of the way) Airbnb which we truly appreciated. You cannot go wrong with this quality outfitter and Samba, our new friend in Mongolia!

Epic Day Riding the Steppe with Samba!
This quick stop-over turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip, even our lives! Samba ensures every detail is optimized. He is an expert ambassador for Mongolia. Super accommodating while strategic and flexible. Easy pick up, plus we would not have found our accommodations later without him and the kind driver. The Genghis Khan Monument/Museum is excellent, Samba is a natural educator. Loved the bikes, and support. He made our 36 mile trek possible, adjusting my seat for long term comfort, cleaning my shoes when the mud swallowed my feet and making sure the chase car was ready with water, snacks and lunch. So glad we booked with you and found Samba! Don't miss this place, this adventure! Very customized.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full-Day Cycling Tour from Ulaanbaatar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ulaanbaatar.
How much does Private Full-Day Cycling Tour from Ulaanbaatar cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ulaanbaatar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Full-Day Cycling Tour from Ulaanbaatar take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ulaanbaatar is not rushed.
Is Private Full-Day Cycling Tour from Ulaanbaatar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ulaanbaatar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full-Day Cycling Tour from Ulaanbaatar?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Full-Day Cycling Tour from Ulaanbaatar suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Full-Day Cycling Tour from Ulaanbaatar?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ulaanbaatar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ulaanbaatar and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full-Day Cycling Tour from Ulaanbaatar start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ulaanbaatar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ulaanbaatar?
+
On Outty we rank every Ulaanbaatar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Genghis Khan Statue+Terelj Park+CamelRide+Eagle, A day trip to Terelj National Park and Statue of Chinggis Khan, BEST 5* Chinggis Khaan Airport UBN Ulaanbaatar Transfer Taxi 24/7. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ulaanbaatar?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ulaanbaatar?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
