We sometimes get asked if WomanTours offers any hiking tours for women. While our focus is primarily on bike tours for women only, we do have some trips where hiking is built into the itinerary for a day or two. So if you’re a cyclist who looks forward to getting those feet on the ground, then read up and consider these tours.

Mongolian wilderness via biking and hiking
Mongolia: Altai Tavan Bogd National Park Bike Tour July 4-17, 2025
Sleeping in gers (similar to yurts). Sharing a pit toilet. Going without WIFI. This backcountry adventure is not for the meek.
