Off-road adventures from the Gobi to the Orkhon waterfall.

The Journey
14 days motorcycle tour through Mongolia
Arrival
After we pick you up from the airport and take you to the hotel, you can take a little rest.
After that, you will take a little stroll through the city and gather first impressions.
During the group dinner, the group sits together for the first time and you spend a lovely evening.
Ulaanbaatar Tour
The hearty breakfast strengthens you for this day.
We will go to the city and visit Sukhbaatar Square.
Here, there is 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 will take place.
Baga Gazriin Chuluu
The first day "on tour".
We will drive about 240 km today, initially a bit of 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'll head into gravel and a little sand towards our destination for the day.
There we will encounter the rock formations of Baga Gazriin Chuluu and the first ger camp.
White Stupa
About 220km lie ahead of us, leading us through varied landscapes.
We can hike 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.
After that, there are a few short stretches on paved roads before enjoying beautiful tracks again until our daily goal Tsagaan Suvraga.
Dungenee Gorge
On the way to the next Gercamp, the vastness of the Gobi reveals itself, until suddenly a huge mountain range appears on the horizon.
We drive through it, which is sporty in places, but manageable. After some time, we reach the Dungenee Gorge, a dramatic rock canyon, where we take an extensive break to let this sink in.
Afterwards, we continue to the Gercamp.
Khongor Sand Dunes
The approximately 220 km long drive passes 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 conclude the day's journey at the famous and impressive singing dunes of Khongorin-Els.
Try to climb up these sand mountains over 200 meters high... good stamina and a hydration pack are essential ;-)
Bayanzag
Once again, there’s off-road at its finest, a total of about 150 km.
Steppes, gorges, and tracks delight the heart of an enduro rider.
In Bulgan Soum we take a break, after which we reach the fascinating Flaming Cliffs. These are known for a wonderful evening light show at sunset, which makes the rock formations glow in fiery red.
Questions about the tour itinerary?
Our tour guide is happy to answer any questions about the day-by-day route, stops, and details.
Arvaikheer
On this day, we first drive through seemingly endless steppe until the landscape changes and becomes hillier.
In this mountainous terrain, 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 flatter and more expansive.
We 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 have earned it ;-)
Orkhon Waterfall
Today, Mongolia shows its incredibly diverse landscape; in some places, you could think it could also be Iceland.
The onward journey goes through the Orkhon Valley (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and is heavily shaped by volcanism.
The day's destination is the Orkhon Waterfall, which also does not fulfill the typical "Mongolia" cliché.
Ugii Lake
Slowly, the route leads us back towards Ulaan Baator and directly to Lake Ugii, a freshwater lake with a rich bird population.
Here too, one can beautifully let the soul dangle and refresh oneself with a swim in the lake.
Khustai National Park
The last days are approaching, it will be more relaxed in terms of driving and quite easy thanks to the training of the past days.
We visit the Khustai National Park, home of the wild horses (Przewalski horses/Takhi). Here we observe various animal species that live completely free in the evenings and early mornings.
Back to Ulaanbaatar
Farewell Party
On the last day, there is another opportunity to take a city stroll, buy a souvenir, or purchase a fine piece for your loved one at a typical Mongolian cashmere shop.
In the afternoon, we will visit a traditional theater that brings us closer to the old Mongolian culture, and then conclude the last evening with a cozy farewell party.
Departure
The last day, departure. We leave very early, we will take you to the airport and the adventure in Mongolia is really coming to an end now.
