This 270km ride through remote and beautiful scenery provides an opportunity to see the real Mongolia: vast and varied landscapes, nomadic families, and historical sites. Starting with an internal flight to Bayankhongor on the northern edge of the Gobi Desert, the route goes into the Khangai Mountains, second highest range in Mongolia, and finishes near Kharkhorin the site of Genghis Khan's capital in the thirteenth century.
The riding is 100% off road, following rough jeep tracks for most of the way. The highest point is Khul Sayangiin Davaa at 2750 metres, and there are several technical downhill stretches. Accommodation on the tour is varied, including a smart hotel in Ulaanbaatar, wild camping in Western-style tents, a popular guest house and a traditional ger camp.
