If you want to explore the most beautiful landscapes of Mongolia and experience its unique history at the same time – the Orkhon Waterfall tour has it all! You can view this tour and its breathtaking landscapes in this short film of ours (film still shows our old bikes!). You will ride through endless steppes, mountains, sand dunes, rivers, nomadic families and the breathtaking Erdenee Zuu monastery, the earliest Buddhist monastery in Mongolia, next to Kharkhorin, the ancient Mongolian capital. Last but not least this tour also includes one day of pure sand dune riding in Elsen Tasarkhai. With 1,270km, the Orkhon is the longest river in Mongolia and is home to many species of fish. There are many rocks and boulders around the river as well as smaller waterfalls with 4-5 m height as well as the famous Ulaan Tsutgalan waterfall, the biggest in Mongolia with a height of 26m. The Orkhon River Valley has been protected since 2006 as a National Park.
