What if the road beneath your wheels turned to glass? On Lake Khuvsgul, winter creates exactly that — a vast frozen surface stretching beyond the horizon, clear as crystal and alive with patterns beneath your feet.

This journey takes you deep into northern Mongolia, where you ride across the ice of one of the world’s clearest lakes. Starting from Khatgal, you cycle along the western shore to Toilogt, then continue toward Modon Khui Island and further north to remote places like Khankh and Deed Modot Bulan. Each day brings long rides over blue ice, snow patches and open пространства, with the Horidol Saridag Mountains rising in the distance. Evenings are spent in warm ger camps, with simple meals, quiet conversations and the stillness of the taiga.

Everything is arranged — flights, transport, support on the route, meals and accommodation. You focus on the ride, the rhythm, and the landscape. Join this expedition and experience winter in Mongolia the way few ever do!

Tour provider's comments

MODERATE - these are usually longer trips at medium altitude, involving longer days and steeper and more sustained climbs, which demand a reasonable amount of effort. More technical riding will include some short sections that are too tricky to ride. A good fun challenge for the regular biker.

Total distance: 130 km.
