Mountain Biking Khurel Togoot Observatory Trails
#30 of 70 mountain bike trails in Mongolia
I include in this network all the tracks from the observatory south up the mountain and also any trails east of the Observatory all the way to the Chuluut Am (about 3 km to the east of the observatory). It's about a 10km square area. There are a lot of randomly connected trails here. It is a good mix of singletrack and old two track. Most of the trail is organic with good flow, along with various rocky or rooty technical areas. It requires some exploration.

Park in the grass just outside the gate of the observatory. Follow the fence line of the property towards the forest behind the observatory. The fence runs about 200m and then turns left to go behind the property. You are in the forest now. Turn left with the fence. There is a little trail here that parallels the fence. Follow this trail until you come upon a trail to your right, leading up the mountain and away from the observatory. There are various random trails here. Have fun exploring.
There are also trails east of the observatory. You can access these from either the road that runs east and west along the base of the mountain or you can access them from Chuluut Am on the east end of the area.
The flies are just now starting to get bad on Bogd Uul. Avoid late morning and midday, and you should be okay. If you can't, bring some bug spray. They'll be bad for another 5-6 weeks. Many of the hills/forests north of Ulaanbaatar are a bit better in the middle of the summer.
