INTRO
In July 2023 I set off for a 25-days solo bikepacking adventure into the vast and wild Mongolian steppe.
Mongolia is a place that, to me, has always been a land of adventure. Adventure because when you are there, alone, in the middle of the steppe, makes you fell really exposed, insignificant, vulnerable. At the same time gives you absolute freedom, makes you feel the master of your fate, the captain of your soul.
In the Mongolian steppe there are no marked roads, only tracks of those who have passed, if someone has passed, before you. I believe this makes the steppe, like nowhere else on this planet, the perfect place to question oneself and to search and chase one's own trajectory in the steppe, like in life.

ABOUT
I am Giacomo, a 27-years-old aerospace engineer from Italy. I am not an athlete, nor a photographer. I am just a sensitive solo cyclist and enthusiast explorer, curious about discovering different cultures and keen on travelling into wild nature.
In 2021, before starting to work, I went solo bikepacking through the wildest parts of Iceland for 50 days. That is how my passion for bikepacking started. In 2022 I spent 3 months in Nepal. In these months I had been trekking and cycling through very remote areas which often remain untouched by tourists.In 2023 I went solo bikepacking the wild and vast Mongolian Steppe for 25 days.

BRAVISSIMO! un viaggio della madonna, una narrazione spaziale, e un articolozzo su Impronte in arrivo!
Grazie mille Francesco per le belle parole, sarei veramente contento se potesse ispirare qualcun altro a partire in bicicletta 😀🙏
Great film! Very authentic compared to all the sponsored athletes or ambassador videos that have become the norm on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, for the compliment, I really appreciate it! I tried to put in the video all the emotions I lived first-hand in the trip. And maybe that is what in the end gave to the video this shape. I am happy if you can feel my emotions in living the experience and editing the video 🤩
Fantastico viaggio,meravigliosa avventura in un luogo davvero estremo e affascinante.Ma speciale le persone incontrate con ospitalità e generosità. IL fatto è che pure preparando per mesi tutti i dettagli alla fine l'avventura e qualche intoppo esce,comunque straordinaria la Mongolia,un viaggio da portare nel cuore e nella vita...Max da Sora ciociaria.
Ciao Max hai proprio ragione, le persone che ho incontrato è quello che poi mi rimane più nel cuore. Ci si prepara al meglio ma poi quando si fa un avventura si sa che potrebbe succedere di tutto! Grazie per le belle parole, un saluto, Giacomo
Giacomo...hello. Great job documenting this amazing journey. Cheers and got yourself a new subscriber.
thank you so much I did my best! hopefully you will not be disappointed
Fantastico, da restare senza parole....bellissimo. BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO!!!!!
grazie mille per le bellissime parole, apprezzo veramente tanto
Wow congrats man, you rode through my hometown glad to see that man.
What is your hometown? Thanks to you. It has been really a pleasure, Mongolian hospitality is really unbelievable 🤩
@@cycling.beyond Arkhangai, Tsetserleg :)
Really beautiful place 😃@@sanjaabuuveibaatar7063
Once again I watched this video. What an adventure, what an experience. The landscapes are incredibly beautiful. And you will probably never forget the encounters with the people. Great. Kind regards and all the best.
Thank you very much! The landscapes can be really amazing, but the encounters with the people are really what I look for when I travel by bike. People see you alone with the bike, in the middle of nowhere, and they try to help, to communicate with you in any possible way. I think that by travelling this way you can really touch a very ancient human istinct, that we have maybe almost forgotten: helping others. Thank you for the kind words, I will try to keep it up.
fantastic film! i never comment on youtube videos but i enjoyed watching this so much. loved your perspective and the thought you put into this. thanks for sharing
I have said this already many times, but thank you so much fo the kind words, it is really a pleasure for me to share my experience and maybe inspire somebody :)

Thank you for making this video, it was different to the stuff that usually ends up on TH-cam and in a good way. I liked your understated edit and commentary and it brought me back to Mongolia, I also rode there in August last year.

Ma che meravigliosa avventura. belle le immagini e belle le riflessioni che le accompagnano. Grazie per la condivisione.
Sono molto contento di condividere la avventura che ho vissuto. Rielaborarla e riviverla facendo questo video per me è un'esperienza molto profonda. E il video rimane lì per sempre, per me e per chi avrà voglia di guardarlo 🤩
Grazie per la poesia.
Grazie mille veramente per le belle parole 🫶

cavoli che avventura pazzesca! Complimenti Giacomo, il video è emozionante e anche il tuo racconto. E complimenti anche per il coraggio e il desiderio di "conoscere". Bravo davvero 👍👏 (La Pol)
ciao Paola, ti ringrazio di cuore! Questa voglia di esplorare, di conoscere e di mettermi in gioco in questo periodo mi sta dando un sacco di energia e gioia. Cerco di seguirla ;)
Amazing trip, all these experiences are worth so much my friend. Money is nothing, experiences is all :) well done
Thank you very much! I definitely agree, experiences like this have no price. And they last forever
Awesome ! Nice editing :)

Oh my goodness
Wonderful video 📸❤
Watching from Italy and Lahore Pakistan ❤ 0:31
Thank youu man, very appreciated
отличное путешествие, мне очень понравилось)
thank you very much, happy you enjoyed!
Thanks for this sharing my friend. I mainly ride fatbike. Weren't you forced to work with skinny tires in Mongolia?
Thank you for the feedback! Yes, a fat bike would have helped me a lot. But that was the bike I had, so I just went with that. I spent so many days worrying about my skinny tires before the trip. At times I had to push, but I always got where I wanted. If you have wide tyres definitely go with them :)
So well flimed what camera gear did you use and editing equipment very well done
thank you for the feedback! I used the old DJI mini, GoPro Hero9 and for the pictures my iphone 11. I edited with FInal Cut Pro
Ciao Giacomo! Bellísimo il video, Per curiosità in che periodo sei andato?
grazie mille! sono partito il 13 luglio 2023
great adventure, i would like to know how to use the animation in 2:56 ?
I used rumbo.com, you upload the gpx and does the animation 😅. Thank youu
can you tell me somw tip for cycling in mongolia. I'm planing to cycle with my friends but not really with long distance experienced what's the most important thing to keep in mind?
There are many: filtering water, satellite tracking, bringing all possible spare parts, multi- fuel stove etc. if it’s one of your first trips do do it too remote
Ho girato in bicicletta la parte più occidentale della Mongolia. Esperienza unica. Per i mongoliani della steppe andare in bicicletta è una follia: perché pedalare quando la natura ti regala il cavallo?
Hai ragione, anche per me la Mongolia in bicicletta è stata un’esperienza incredibile. Non capiscono proprio perché qualcuno dovrebbe avventurarsi con la bici nel mezzo del nulla. Anche se devo dire che oltre al cavallo mi sembra che si siano abituati bene anche alla moto 😀
Nice film, but i wanna know how many days did you bike in MONGOLIA? Wanted to see more but the video is so short...
Thank you so much for the very kind words. I biked for 25 days, but in many moments I was very focused on surviving/living the experience myself. I had more material, but this is the best video I could do without getting it boring.
But thank you so much, I will try to do more content like this 🙏
To be honest now I am cycling though Patagonia but still thinking so much about Mongolia. Really looking forward to come back 🤩
hope soon have english sub 😢
It should already have English subtitles, to me works. Am I missing something?
For English subtitles simply press on the CC symbol in the upper right-hand corner … that should do it 😊
