Motorcycle trip Mongolia – Adventure through steppe and desert

This motorcycle journey Mongolia – Adventure through steppe and desert takes us from Ulaanbaatar steadily south past the Earth Mother stone through the vast steppe landscape with breathtaking rock formations at Ikh Gazariin Chuluu and Zagaan Suvraga. A turn to the west brings us to the "Flaming Cliffs," where many a dinosaur bone has been recovered from the reddish clay. At the southernmost point of the journey, we are greeted by the spectacular Vulture Gorge with a small surprise. After passing through a very narrow gorge, the route leads us along the dune belt of Khongoriin Els. We pitch our camp directly in the dune and cross it in the morning. The journey then takes us west through ancient weathered rock landscapes. From Gurvantes we head north again, crossing various types of desert until we reach a very beautiful gorge at Ikh Khalbaganat Uul. From here, we go east to the river Ongi Gol. Nestled beautifully by this river is the huge ruin of the monastery complex of Ongiin Khiid. A radical change in landscape awaits us as we push north into the mountains of Khangai. After seeing forests again for the first time in a long while, a lush green volcanic landscape awaits us at the waterfall of Orchon. Along Orchon, we travel to Kharkorin, the former capital of Mongolia during the time of Genghis Khan with the famous monastery complex Erende Zuu. To finish, we briefly cross the steppe one more time and say goodbye to the desert in the dune Mongol Els. The river Tuul takes us back to Ulaanbaatar, where civilization catches up with us.
During the expedition, you have the option to follow the tour guide in the car or behind the motorcycle or even ride ahead (free riding!).
