Motorcycle trip Mongolia – Experience steppe, desert & monasteries

Motorradreisen Mongolei Ankunft Stadtrundfahrt Essen

Arrival in Ulaanbaatar

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.

Start of the Enduro Tour to the Gobi Desert

Early in the morning, we prepare motorcycles and support vehicles and will leave the city heading east. We circle the Bogd Khan Uul mountains towards Zuunmod and then head off the asphalt into the vastness of the steppe landscape. A short stop at the Mother Earth stone Eej Khad shows us the Buddhist culture. From now on, we will be speeding through the steppe southwards until we reach the surreal rock landscape of Ikh Gazariin Chuluu, where we will set up our camp. Approximately 333 km

Ikh Gazariin Chuluu - Tsagaan Suvraga

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

Motorradreisen Mongolei Zombiestadt Dinosaurierknochen Burning

Zombie Town and Dinosaur Bones

On this day, we drive quite a distance west until we reach the Zombie Town Mandal Ovoo. A short refueling stop forces us to stop, but then we quickly head south to the Flaming Cliffs. The area literally starts to burn in the evening light due to the reddish clay soil, hence the name. After every rain, new dinosaur bones are unearthed, and scientific teams from around the world are searching for new species. Approximately 225 km

Motorradreisen Mongolei Sanddüne Fußmarsch Herausforderung

The huge sand dune Khongoriin Els

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

Motorradreisen Mongolei Enduro-Action Düne Gebirge

Enduro action in the Gobi Desert

In the morning, we first have to cross the dune, but the 15 kilometers will be conquerable for all participants. If more sand riding is desired, we can also head west over the dune. Otherwise, we drive back into the mountains along an ancient valley to Gurvantes. From here, the southwestern point of the journey, we head north again until we set up camp at Gojoot. Maybe we will find the spring that is marked on the maps, but is usually dry. Approximately 220 km

The Gobi Desert in all its variations

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
