On the agenda

Discover the untamed beauty of the steppes on our motorbike tour in Mongolia, riding the reliable Royal Enfield Himalayan for an adventure that immerses you in wild landscapes and the heart of nomadic traditions.

The Wild Spirit of the Steppe

Your Motorcycle Tour in Mongolia

10 stages - 700 miles
Arrive in Ulan Bator
1/10 • Arrive in Ulan Bator
Upon landing in Ulaanbaatar, you’re met at the airport and transferred to the hotel. You are free to explore the city and dine at your leisure. Ulaanbaatar (1,350 m) is nestled in the valley of the south-flowing Tuul River, spreading over almost 18 miles from west to east and 9 miles from north to south. With 1.5 million inhabitants following the mining boom, the city has transformed significantly in the last 20 years. The hotel is basic but ideally located in the city center—perfect for exploring before embarking on your Asia motorcycle tour.
Ulan Bator - Dashinchilen
2/10 • Ulan Bator - Dashinchilen
After an early breakfast, you meet your tour leader. We’re transferred about 19 miles by private vehicle, where we collect our bikes. It’s officially time to set off on our adventure! We take a gorgeous road through the steppes with the mountains as a backdrop and come across flocks of sheep, cows and goats in our path.
134 miles including 8 miles of trail
Dashinchilen - Ogii Nuur
3/10 • Dashinchilen - Ogii Nuur
We head westwards over the steppe on the Middle Route, one of the main tarmacked roads which crosses this immense country. It is hypnotising, with seemingly never-ending straight stretches and very few bends. To make sure no-one gets bored, we'll take a few off-road detours from time to time and visit a traditional hamlet or royal ruins.
65 miles including 20 to 42 miles of trail
Ogii Nuur - Tsenkher Hot Spring
4/10 • Ogii Nuur - Tsenkher Hot Spring
Sunrise at Ogii Nuur Lake is picture perfect and worth getting up early for. Then we enjoy an exceptional riding day: the landscapes awaiting us are simply stunning. What's more, we hardly see an inch of tarmac today, just what you came for! We have lunch at a local café. Most of the tracks are very smooth and a real pleasure to ride on our little Indian trail bikes.
99 miles including 85 miles of trail
Tsenkher Hot Spring - Orkhon Valley
5/10 • Tsenkher Hot Spring - Orkhon Valley
The track takes us into the heart of the Orkhon Valley with several ford crossings and small hills. We notice that the landscapes become ever more mountainous. The steppes gradually give way to the rugged foothills of the Khanghai volcanic mountains. We arrive mid-afternoon at our hosts' place, near the Orkhon waterfalls.
62 to 71 miles including 62 to 71 miles of trail
Orkhon Valley 
6/10 • Orkhon Valley 
Early in the morning, we explore our camp. We make the most of the calm and visit one of the region's most beautiful waterfalls. On the way back, we help the family chef prepare a typical nomad dish. We set off again after lunch, enjoying the tracks and a slalom between volcanic rocks.
31 miles including 31 miles of trail
Orkhon Valley - Karakorum
7/10 • Orkhon Valley - Karakorum
We head northeast on superb tracks. We ride alongside Orkhon river one last time. By lunchtime, we arrive at the ancient capital of Genghis Khan’s empire: Karakorum. In the museum, we immerse ourselves in the history of the capital and the steppe empires pre- and post-Genghis Khan, and then have lunch.
47 miles including 44 miles of trail
Karakorum - Khogno Khan
8/10 • Karakorum - Khogno Khan
Today, we visit the Khogno Khan dunes, nicknamed "Mini Gobi". For eons the steppe winds have carried sand to the foot of Mount Khogno Khan (1,967 m), creating a long stretch of dunes spanning around 50 miles. Called Elsen Tasarkhai, the name literally means "an isolated torn-off piece of sand". We take on plenty of tracks and make the most of some wild riding, as the end of the tour is in sight!
93 miles including 37 to 56 miles of trail
Khogno Khan - Ulan Bator
9/10 • Khogno Khan - Ulan Bator
We make our way back to Ulan Bator on a wonderful stretch of asphalt crossing the desert plains, then the steppes. This is our last day to soak up these mind-blowing landscapes. We end the day in the capital. You’re transferred to the hotel and you have a free late afternoon and evening. Night in a basic hotel.
162 miles including 6 to 43 miles of trail
Ulan Bator
10/10 • Ulan Bator
Those with a late flight can have a free day in the city. You can enjoy the capital’s unique atmosphere, which is both harsh and welcoming at the same time. Ulan Bator is one of those cities that everyone has an opinion about. A taxi will take you to the airport, where our services end.

This raid is reserved for experienced pilots. It includes long stages far from first aid. Primary assistance to reach the nearest medical center is mainly provided by our assistance vehicle, means such as helicopters or ambulances being very rare. Unstable telephone networks can occasionally make contact with emergency services difficult. As with any high altitude route, the quality of the roads and the difficulty of the route depend on the weather conditions, both during and before the trip.
