Guided Mongolia Motorcycle Tour through the Gobi Desert

After the long flight, you arrive at Ulaanbaatar airport in the morning. Experience shows that jetlag is tough; we first take a taxi to the accommodation and have coffee. After all participants have arrived, a short city tour awaits you with a visit optionally to the Gandan Monastery, the Winter Palace, the Soviet monument with an overview of the city, and the Chijin Lama Monastery in the city center. In the evening, we go out to eat together and discuss the tour.

The next day we continue south until we reach a rugged hill chain, the landscape of Tsagaan Suvraga. The landscape is characterized by red erosion remnants. With a bit of imagination, many forms can be recognized here that gave the area its name. Approximately 225 km

First, we drive east to the Zuun Saykhany Nuruu mountains, where the Vulture Gorge is located. Many vultures actually fly through the air, and we take a half-hour hike into the protected gorge. Then we drive back west over a pass, where stopping is worthwhile. A challenge with our enduros, but for locals in a car, it’s a barrier that is attempted to be overcome by all means. The effort is worth it; the subsequent gorge to pass through is spectacular. After overcoming the mountains, we drive along the huge sand dune Khongoriin Els. Those experienced in sand riding will get their money's worth; newcomers will have the chance to experience their first sand riding in peace. In a wonderfully beautiful location, we will camp in the middle of the dune. Approximately 250 km

Today we are heading north through all the variations of the Gobi Desert. The sand becomes rockier, and dried river valleys need to be crossed. After Bayanlig, the route leads us back up into the mountains until we pass through one of the most beautiful gorges of the tour. After crossing the mountains, we will camp at the northern edge of the mountains. Approximately 200 km

Today we have earned a rest day. Time to extensively explore the monastery ruins, swim in the river, and explore the interesting surroundings more closely.

Today we ride downriver through the bizarre lava and basalt landscape of the Orkhon valley until we encounter the former capital of Mongolia, Kharkorin. Kharkorin was founded during the time of Genghis Khan and is famous for the impressive Erdene Zuu Monastery. This huge monastery complex is a must for every Mongolia trip, and you delve deeper into the history of the country. We will spend the night in a beautiful Ger camp overlooking the town. Approximately 100 km

Today we ride northeast through the steppe until we reach the Tuul river. We will ride along it until we reach the civilization of Ulaanbaatar. In the evening, we will experience Ulaanbaatar's city life one last time at a farewell dinner and then say goodbye to the land and drivers in a cozy gathering. Approximately 265 km
