Touching down at Chinggis Khaan International Airport puts you on the outskirts of Mongolia’s capital and largest city, Ulaanbaatar. With the city spreading across a wide valley, getting around efficiently calls for some two-wheeled transport. Whether it's a scooter, motorcycle or quad bike rental, you’ll have the freedom to see the highlights at your own pace. Start by visiting Gandantegchinlen Monastery, where you can hear the monks chanting and see the 26-meter tall statue of Migjid Janraisig, the Buddhist God of Compassion. After soaking in some tranquility, head into the more chaotic city center to Sükhbaatar Square, flanked by the grandiose Government Palace. Wander through the lively Naran Tuul market to browse handicrafts and haggle for a bargain or two. When you need a break from the hustle and bustle, escape to the wide open spaces just outside the city. Ride up Zaisan Memorial hill for panoramic views over the entire valley or continue further to see the towering 40-meter Bodhnath Stupa. With your own set of wheels, you can also easily reach Gorkhi-Terelj National Park to see rock formations, pine forests and grazing wild horses. Or head east to visit Khustai National Park, home to the rare and endangered Przewalski's horse. Beyond Ulaanbaatar, a motorcycle rental opens up options to explore the endless grassy steppe dotted with gers and grazing livestock. Push further into the wilderness to discover beautiful lakes and hot springs. Visiting the vast Orkhon Valley is also highly recommended, with ancient ruins and stunning waterfalls carved into the basalt canyon. Wherever your rented scooter, motorcycle or quad bike takes you, riding through the epic Mongolian landscapes is an experience you won’t soon forget.
