- * Cycling to Khustai NP which is world-famous for its successful reintroduction of Przewalski's Horse
Day 1 Drive to the starting point
Our guide and driver will pick you up from your location early in the morning and drive to the starting point of the cycling trip. Our guide will give a brief introduction about the cycling trip and make adjustments on the selected bikes. Today we cycle to Khustai National Park, which is famous for reintroducing Przewalski’s horses brought from captivity around the world in the early 1990s. These native wild horses of Central Asia weren’t spotted since the 1960s, declaring them extinct. We will serve light snacks and lunch on the way. When we reach the national park, we will visit the information centre and then continue the cycle to see the wild horses. Our cycling will finish to reach the Mongolian nomadic family at the National Park. Today we will stay overnight at a Mongolian traditional house called "Ger" and have dinner with the Mongolian family. In the evening we will see the lifestyle of a Mongolian nomadic family.

Day 2 Cycling to Tuul river
We start the day with a pleasant downhill after pedaling up a small hill. Today we cycle across the edge of Khustai National Park and perhaps see more wild animals. The road condition is not too difficult on hard-packed dirt road. After exiting the national park, we continue to the Tuul river, also known as Queen Tuul, which is a vital source of fresh drinking water for millions of humans and animals. Our drivers and cook will serve tea and snacks before midday. After a short break, we continue cycling at a steady pace until lunch spot. After lunch, load bikes onto the support vehicle(s) and drive back to Ulaanbaatar.
