Joe –
This tour is a true adventure in every respect. Mostly off road it has everything to throw at you, mud, rocks, countless river crossings, the beautiful steppes and some majestic mountain passes. The Mongolians are beautiful people and proud of their unspoilt country. You are in the true wilderness on this tour and Extreme bike tours cover every aspect from meeting us on arrival, helping organise a guide for a pre trip excursion, all meals, Mongolian guides and great motorcycles and mechanics to keep us rolling. The Royal Enfields surprised us with their robustness and reliability. They were more than up for the task.
Off road experience is a bonus but not all our group had that and still managed the trip well.
Mongolia is such a beautiful country with their nomadic lifestyle, such vast open spaces and camping out in such remoteness was a great escape from our day to day clutter!
Ben and John were great hosts as were all the staff in their various roles.
There were six of us that knew each other from Australia but we had great companions from other countries to add to the total experience.
Totally recommend this trip.
