Alex
In 2006, after travelling 20,000 km by motorbike in India, Alex founded Vintage Rides. Since then, he has been developing our concept in more than 20 countries.
On the agenda
Set off on an extraordinary mechanical expedition in the heart of winter Mongolia, between endless steppes, frozen lakes, and extreme conditions that can reach -40°C. A Royal Enfield sidecar adventure built around pushing your limits, solidarity and pure exploration. This journey immerses you in a raw, silent Mongolia, far from civilisation. You ride across snow-covered and frozen tracks, through grandiose landscapes where vastness and cold set the pace. This motorbike tour in Mongolia is punctuated by powerful moments: immersion with nomadic families, nights in traditional yurts, and warm breaks in natural hot springs in the heart of nature. Between effort and contemplation, you discover a unique land shaped by traditions, culture, and extreme isolation. A truly committing expedition, where the cold becomes a challenge and the steppe an ultimate playground, on specially prepared Royal Enfield sidecars built for the most demanding conditions.

Prefer the summer steppe? Ride The Wild Spirit of the Steppe or In the Tracks of Genghis Khan on a Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. See all our Mongolia motorcycle tours.

Frozen Ride

YOUR MOTORCYCLE JOURNEY IN MONGOLIA

8 stages - 373 miles
Ulan Bator airport Stage 1/8
Ulan Bator airport
Talk about excitement! When you set foot in Mongolia for the first time, you just know that this Asia motorcycle tour is set to be one of the greatest adventures of your life. Transfer from the airport to the hotel. Get some rest, your adventure begins tomorrow!
Ulan Bator - Dashinchilen - Ugii Nuur Stage 2/8 61 miles including 14 miles of off-road
Ulan Bator - Dashinchilen - Ugii Nuur
This morning we leave the city by minibus for our operational base in Dashinchilen, the gateway to the great steppes. After a Mongolian lunch and a first handover of the sidecars, we set off along a long, straight asphalt road to get used to the machine and the cold. The final few miles follow a snowy track to Lake Ugii, frozen under almost a metre of ice, where we try our first controlled slides before spending the night in a ger facing the lake.
Ugii Nuur - Tsenkher Hot Springs Stage 3/8 78 miles including 64 miles of off-road
Ugii Nuur - Tsenkher Hot Springs
This morning we cross the frozen lake to the village of Ugii Nuur and warm up over a coffee. The day continues along a long, corrugated dirt track through an almost lunar white landscape dotted with herds of horses and camels. After lunch out on the steppe, we head into the Tsenkher valley, where the mountains are cloaked in snow-covered forest, before relaxing in the steaming hot springs, where we spend the night.
Tsenkher Hot Springs - Ikh Khan Khubilai Stage 4/8 42 miles, all off-road
Tsenkher Hot Springs - Ikh Khan Khubilai
A free morning to make the most of the hot springs, or to walk to the spring that gushes out at almost 86°C in the valley. After lunch, we get back on the sidecars and head south along a frozen river, then onto more technical tracks lined with forests and yak herds. The sensations build with every climb and descent until we reach our isolated camp, where we share salted tea, stories and the warmth of the stove.
Ikh Khan Khubilai - Kharkhorin Stage 5/8 89 miles including 43 miles of off-road
Ikh Khan Khubilai - Kharkhorin
We leave the valley via a steep climb where the 4x4s open the way, then continue on a more demanding track towards the legendary Orkhon Valley. Between scree, rugged terrain and vast panoramas, the morning calls for focus and teamwork to get every sidecar through. After lunch, we follow the river, then a brand new, fast road to Kharkhorin, the former capital of the Mongol Empire, which we discover on a cultural visit followed by a traditional concert in the evening.
Kharkhorin - Khogno Khan Stage 6/8 59 miles including 41 miles of off-road
Kharkhorin - Khogno Khan
A gentle start this morning towards the 'Little Gobi', between open steppe and livestock enclosures. The tracks wind through hills and herds before lunch among the horses in a wide, snowy valley. In the afternoon, we reach the Khogno Khan dunes and our nomadic camel-herding family. Those who wish can take a camel ride across the frozen dunes, before an authentic, warm evening in the family ger.
Khogno Khan - Dashinchilen - Ulan Bator Stage 7/8 43 miles including 42 miles of off-road
Khogno Khan - Dashinchilen - Ulan Bator
On this final riding day, we skirt the sacred Khogno Khan mountain on a fun, flowing track heading north, deep in wolf territory. A stop at a prayer rock marks a last spiritual moment before villages and wider steppe gradually reappear around Dashinchilen. After a final lunch, we hand back our machines and return to Ulan Bator by minibus for a convivial farewell dinner.
Ulan Bator airport Stage 8/8
Ulan Bator airport
Those with morning flights will be transferred to the airport. If not, you can enjoy more time in the capital before heading back home with a head full of memories.

This winter expedition in Mongolia, in the heart of January, is exclusively designed for highly experienced riders. It includes long stages through remote areas, far from any rescue infrastructure. In the event of an emergency, initial assistance to reach the nearest medical facility is primarily provided by our support vehicle, as rapid evacuation options such as helicopters or ambulances are extremely rare in these regions. Mobile phone coverage is limited and unstable, which can make contact with emergency services difficult. As with any itinerary in extreme winter and high-altitude conditions, road conditions and the difficulty of the route depend heavily on weather conditions both before and during the trip.

For safety reasons linked to extreme cold temperatures, each sidecar will be occupied by two riders who will alternate between riding and passenger positions every 1 to 1.5 hours in order to limit prolonged exposure to cold and fatigue.
