On the Trail of Genghis Khan

Mongolia was even better than expected! The freedom of riding for miles & miles off road with no fences & nothing man made except for Ger camps was truly amazing and the scenery was stunning! We loved seeing the huge number of animals roaming free - horses, yaks, sheep, goats, cattle, camels plus a variety of bird life & ground dwellers such as marmots, ground squirrels and we even saw (and photographed) the very rare Pallas’ wild cat! The accomodation in Gers every night really added to the experience & the quality & comfort of the Gers was way better than expected. The food was also way above expectations. We thought we were going to lose a few kilos on this trip - not a chance! The Himalayan’s were the absolute perfect bike for this trip & even 2 up, my wife & I both found the bike extremely comfortable. We are in our 60’s (and reasonably fit) but didn’t find the trip too demanding at all. In fact, we found it energised us & we looked forward to jumping back on the bike every day and exploring ridges & gorges when we stopped. The rest days provided a great balance of riding & relaxing (and catching up on a bit of washing, fiddling with camera equipment, etc). Lastly, the crew. Could not have wished for a better bunch of guys! From our tour leader Tuk, to drivers Dooyoo & Uuree & mechanic Tony, they all had a great sense of humour & couldn’t do enough for us. Highly recommend this tour to anyone with a sense of adventure and a love of motorcycles!

It was an adventure with most things covered. Potential pitfalls were reduced. Knowledge of the journey could be improved with feedback from prior tours.

generally a good trip and experience, and I was pleased with Vintage Rides. However, the i Have the following comments: The guide rode too slowly (sometimes dangerously slowly) we did not cover enough distance and could have ridden for at least 1 hour per day more, sometimes 2 hrs per day more. Staff were great, accomodations were great, the group was nice, but at 10 riders was the maximum it should be - 8 would be better. The way i had to pay cost me a lot in bank charges that were unneccesary. you should alter these payment options for uk customers. my final night in UB was disrupted by hotel staff!

The Wild Spirit of the Steppe

It was a great trip. The support team were excellent. the group was great fun. the country amazing. my one proper criticism is (a) we could have ridden further - 3pm finishes on two days! and (b) we could have ridden harder - I was in my comfort zone for 98% of the time (and we were only guided out of my comfort zone once). I appreciate there are riders with different levels of confidence and appetite but I think that could be accommodated.
