Daily program: 14-day motorcycle tour through Mongolia
Day 1: Arrival
After we have picked you up from the airport and brought you to the hotel, you can rest a bit.
After that, you will take a little stroll through the city and gather your first impressions.
At the group dinner, everyone will sit together for the first time, and you will spend a lovely evening.
Day 2: Ulaanbaatar Tour
The hearty breakfast prepares you for the day.
We are going to the city and visiting Sukhbaatar Square.
Here you have the opportunity to admire exhibits in the Genghis Khan Museum, such as the Golden Monument of Genghis Khan and archaeological finds from the Hunnu/Xiongnu Empire and other dynasties.
In the afternoon, the briefing of the tour and the vehicles takes place.
Day 3: Baga Gazriin Chuluu
The first day "on tour".
We will drive approximately 240 km today, initially a little asphalt to get used to the motorcycles and to enjoy the first impressions of the surrounding landscape in peace.
After leaving the paved road, we will head onto gravel and a little sand towards our day's destination.
There, we will find the rock formations of Baga Gazriin Chuluu and the first Gercamp.
Day 4: White Stupa
About 220km lie ahead of us, leading us through varied landscapes.
We can walk through old monastery ruins, then drive through a small gorge, followed by endless steppe, taking a break at a small soum to rest and drink something.
After that, we briefly go over paved roads to enjoy beautiful trails again until we reach our daily destination Tsagaan Suvraga.
Day 5: Dungenee Gorge
On the way to the next Gercamp, the vastness of the Gobi becomes apparent, until suddenly a huge mountain range appears on the horizon.
We drive through this, which is sporty in places but doable. After some time, we reach the Dungenee Gorge, a dramatic rock canyon, where we take an extensive break to let this soak in.
Then we continue to the Gercamp.
Day 6: Khongor Sand Dunes
The approximately 220 km long drive takes us through a small canyon, the rocky gorge of the Gurvan Saikhan Mountains.
We cross parts of the Gobi, vast steppes, refuel in Bayandalai Soum, take a short break there, and end the day’s journey at the famous and impressive singing dunes of Khongorin-Els.
Try to climb these sand mountains over 200 meters high ... good fitness and a hydration backpack are recommended ;-)
Day 7: Bayanzag
Once again, there’s off-road of the finest kind, totaling about 150 km.
Steppe, gorges, and trails delight the heart of an enduro rider.
In Bulgan Soum we take a break, then we reach the fascinating Flaming Cliffs. These are known for a wonderful evening display of colors during sunset, which makes the rock formations glow in fiery red.
Day 8: Arvaikheer
On this day, we first travel through seemingly endless steppe until the landscape changes and becomes hillier.
In this mountainous area, the ruins of the Ongiin Khiid monastery are hidden, which we will visit.
We continue through the mountains for a while until the terrain becomes flat and wide again.
We will spend the night in Arvaikheer, the capital of the Övörkhangai province, where there is comfortable relaxation for body and mind after the dusty days. We deserve that ;-)
Day 9: Orkhon Waterfall
Today, Mongolia shows its incredibly varied landscapes; in some places, one might think it could also be Iceland.
The onward journey goes through the Orkhon Valley (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and is heavily shaped by volcanism.
Today's destination is the Orkhon Waterfall, which also does not fulfill the typical "Mongolia" cliché.
Day 10: Ugii Lake
Slowly the route leads us back towards Ulaan Baator and directly to Lake Ugii, a freshwater lake with a rich bird population.
One can also beautifully let the soul dangle here and refresh oneself with a swim in the lake.
Day 11: Khustai National Park
The last days are approaching, driving will be more relaxed and totally easy due to the training of the past days.
We visit the Khustai National Park, home of the wild horses (Przewalski horses/Takhi). Here we observe different species of animals that live completely freely in the evenings and early mornings.
Day 12: Back to Ulaanbaatar
The last day of the trip takes us mainly over bumpy, also paved roads. We drive along the foot of the Khustai Mountains, following the Tuul River towards Ulaanbaatar. Past beautiful rock formations, mountains, and vast landscapes until we reach the capital again and here the tour ends.
Day 13: Farewell Party
On the last day, there is another opportunity to take a stroll through the city, buy a souvenir, or purchase a fine piece for your loved one at home in a typical Mongolian cashmere shop.
In the afternoon, we will visit a traditional theater that brings us closer to the old Mongolian culture, and afterwards, we'll conclude the last evening with a cozy farewell party.
Day 14: Departure
The last day, departure. We leave very early, we take you to the airport and the adventure in Mongolia really comes to an end.
