This exciting 1750km trail through the Central Mongolian provinces passes through beautiful and unusual scenery as well as offering the opportunity to observe Mongolia’s nomadic lifestyle and ancient culture. Riding through the small town of Kharkhorin, once the hub of Genghis Khan’s great Mongol Empire, you will visit Erdene Zuu monastery, the former centre of Buddhism in Mongolia.
Dramatic geographical formations such as the volcanic area in Khorgo National Park, the sandy shores of the White Lake, the river canyon at Chuluut and the massive granite mountain at Khogno Khan are quite spectacular. The ancient sculptures dotted around the countryside are also noteworthy, as is the Taikhir rock at Ikh Tamir, located in the middle of a flat river plain.
Travelling on our KTM 450EXC enduro-style bikes, you can enjoy the vast open space, big sky and wild landscapes, unspoiled by modern developments. We ride from one ger camp to the next, each camp being located in a place of particular beauty or importance and stay in authentic traditional round felt tents, having facilities on site for your comfort and convenience.
