The quest of Genghis Khan, Mongolia’s most famous historical figure, was to promote peace and security by developing stable trading routes and alliances. This motorcycle tour covers the five central provinces of Mongolia, the heart of the Mongol Empire, where initially dozens of warring tribes were united before spreading throughout Asia and Europe, gathering support and power over varied populations due to their lenient policy towards religions and local traditions.
THIS ITINERARY IS SUITABLE FOR EXPERIENCED RIDERS, PREFERABLY WITH SOME OFF-ROAD EXPERIENCE.
Arrive in 'Ulaanbaatar' and go to hotel. Evening meet the tour leader and rest of group for Technical Briefing. The meeting talks about day by day itinerary and safety issues. Overnight in hotel.
Allocate motorbikes and start riding. The first 28km are on tarmac road to get out of the city, then open plains riding across the grassy hills of Tuv “Central” Province to 'Baga Gazariin Chuluu'. Overnight 'Ger' camp.
Off-road all the way, a completely new section of the tour, first stopping to see the amazing granite rock formations of Baga Gazriin Chuluu, then ride westwards to the sandy 'Little Gobi' at Elsen Tasarkhai. Overnight 'Ger' camp.
Ride for the first 100km on road to 'Kharkhorin' the old capital of Mongolia where Genghis Khan’s Mongol Empire was centred, and visit 'Erdene Zuu' Buddhist monastery. Overnight 'Ger' camp.
Ride through the mountains avoiding as many river crossings as possible, over several rocky mountain passes, to Tsetserleg, the capital of Arkhangai province, then over the final pass to reach 'Ikh Tamir' ger camp beside the Tamir river. Overnight 'Ger' camp.
Ride along the northern bank of the river, mainly hard pack on old jeep tracks, stopping on the way to see ancient standing 'Deer Stones', wonderful examples of nomadic steppe art. Load bikes, vehicles and people onto a 'Raft' to cross the Tamir river, then arrive at Ugii Lake. Overnight 'Ger' camp.
Leaving Ugii Lake, ride across the mountains and grasslands (completely new route !) to get to 'Khogno Khan' a dramatic granite mountain situated close to the geographical centre of Mongolia, where 4 provinces meet. Overnight 'Ger' camp.
