Mongolia Motorcycle Tours: Experience Adventure on Two Wheels
Discover Mongolia on two wheels with OVERCROSS. The impressive landscapes of rugged mountains and endless steppes present an exciting challenge for motorcyclists. On a tour, you can ride up to 2,500 km through the breathtaking Gobi Desert or explore the Khangai Mountains. Experience the culture in Ulaanbaatar and visit the Erdene Zuu Monastery. During your adventure, Mongolian cuisine will delight you with delicacies like Buuz and Airag. The best time to travel is from May to September – ready for your unforgettable motorcycle travel adventure?
Does this trip match your riding level?
Our two guided motorcycle tours through Mongolia sit at different levels. The Offroad Adventure from the Gobi to the Orkhon Waterfall rides gravel tracks, river gravel bars and open steppe and suits a rider who already feels safe off tarmac, even without deep sand experience. The Gobi Desert tour is the tougher of the two: 2,500 km, 90% off-road, through the dunes of Khongoriin Els and river crossings in the Khangai mountains, and it asks for confident, tested off-road riding before you sign up.
On the Gobi Desert tour you can bring your own enduro if it fits our technical checklist, against a deposit of 500 USD or EUR held by our partner in Ulaanbaatar, or rent one of the prepared Yamaha Ténéré 700 machines from the same fleet. On the Orkhon Waterfall tour you ride one of our partner's prepared enduros; riding gear and any personal equipment stay your own responsibility on both routes.
A typical day starts with a route briefing, then the guide takes the group through desert, steppe or mountains until the overnight stop is reached in the afternoon. A support vehicle with a technician follows the whole way, ready if a bike or a rider needs help. Overnight the Gobi Desert tour mixes fixed ger camps with nights under canvas in the desert, cooked from a shared expedition kitchen, while the Orkhon Waterfall tour stays in ger camps and mid-range hotels in Ulaanbaatar with half board.
Experience required
The Orkhon Waterfall route needs only basic enduro skills on gravel and steppe, no deep sand experience required. The Gobi Desert tour is harder: 2,500 km, 90% off-road, dunes and river crossings, so confident off-road experience is expected.
Own bike allowed
On the Gobi Desert tour you may ride your own enduro if it passes our checklist, against a 500 USD/EUR deposit with our partner, or rent a Yamaha Ténéré 700. On the Orkhon Waterfall tour you ride a prepared bike from our partner's fleet.
Daily distance
The Gobi Desert tour covers about 2,500 km over 14 days, 90% of it off-road; the Orkhon Waterfall tour runs the same 14 days at an easier pace. Daily distance is set by the guide each morning depending on terrain.
Typical day
Each day opens with a briefing on the coming stage, then the guide leads the group through desert, steppe or mountains until the overnight stop. A support vehicle with a technician follows throughout, on both tours.
Best time to ride
Mongolia rides best from May to September, when Gobi tracks and open steppe are dry and firm underfoot. June to September is the safer window for the river crossings and mountain passes in the Khangai. Midsummer brings the most heat to the Gobi Desert; the shoulder months keep the steppe more comfortable to ride.

Guided motorcycle tours Mongolia - Into the Gobi Desert
Die technische Vorbereitung und der Support während der Motorradreise in die Wüste Gobi waren durchgehend professionell. Die täglichen Briefings vor den Etappen boten klare GPS-Tracks und erleichterten die Navigation durch die anspruchsvolle Offroad-Strecke von 2.500 km. Besonders die Unterstützung durch das Begleitfahrzeug war wertvoll, um...

Booking questions
What is included in the price of a Mongolia motorcycle tour?
Your tour price covers a multilingual motorcycle guide, a support vehicle with driver, all overnight stays listed in the tour description and full board on the trail. On the Gobi Desert tour that also includes the mandatory travel security certificate under German law (§651r BGB). Flights, travel insurance and personal riding gear are extra.
Can I bring my own motorcycle, or is one provided?
On the Gobi Desert tour you can ride your own enduro if it meets our technical checklist, against a deposit of 500 USD or EUR held by our partner, or rent a Yamaha Ténéré 700 from the same fleet. On the Offroad Adventure to the Orkhon Waterfall you ride a prepared enduro supplied by our partner in Ulaanbaatar.
How big is the group on a Mongolia tour?
Groups run from 5 to 8 riders on the Gobi Desert tour and from 5 to 10 riders on the Offroad Adventure to the Orkhon Waterfall, always with a guide and a support vehicle alongside. Keeping the numbers in this range means the guide can still look after every rider on remote stages.
Which tour matches my riding level?
If you already handle gravel and open steppe with confidence, the Offroad Adventure to the Orkhon Waterfall is the easier entry point. The Gobi Desert tour is the harder of the two, with 2,500 km at 90% off-road, deep sand at Khongoriin Els and river crossings in the Khangai, so tested off-road experience is expected before you book. Tell us your level when you enquire and we will point you to the right route.
How does booking and the deposit work?
After your enquiry we send a personal offer including the mandatory travel security certificate under §651r BGB. The booking becomes binding once you confirm it, and you then receive the tour dossier, packing list and all further information for your arrival in Ulaanbaatar.
What should I plan for beyond the tour price?
Flights to Ulaanbaatar, travel health insurance and your riding gear are not part of the tour price. Depending on the tour you also budget for the motorcycle rental fee or, if you bring your own bike, the deposit held by our partner. Our Mongolia travel guide covers everything else you need for entry.
