Mongolia - On the trail of Chinngis Khan

Dates:

1st August – 11th August 2020

–

Mongolia is a vast wilderness almost untouched and scattered with nomadic peoples and an abundance of animals. Out here nomads are a living tradition. The Mongolian Motorcycle Tour is almost exclusively off the beaten track, once out of Ulaan Bataar there are very few roads and no traffic as 40% of the population live in the capital. The terrain is vast and varied from rolling hills to mountains and you can almost touch the emptiness of this wildly stunning country. This is true adventure and together with our support crew we move through the landscape.

Accommodation is a mixture of wild camping, a hunting lodge perched over the Selenge river and Gher Camps, that provide a touch of luxury when you least expect it. With river crossings to contend and silver birch forests to ride through nature doesn’t get much better than this. This is an epic adventure not for the faint hearted an unforgettable experience that will leave you amazed. Riding alongside herds of galloping horses, this tour will open your mind.
