You're met at the airport then transferred to your hotel. Unguided tour of the city.
We meet up with our tour leader, then time for the big departure! We take a superb road through the steppe, with mountain backdrop. From time to time, an eagle awaits us on a roadside pylon, flying off as we approach.
We set off this morning on a beautiful road through the steppe, before riding on a small, unpredictable trail - a dash of adventure before reaching the yurt camp on the shores of Ogii Nuur Lake, nestled at the foot of the mountains. Night at the camp.
An early start by Ogii Nur Lake, offering a superb viewpoint. We ride along a trail through the heart of the steppe, which stretches endlessly ahead. At first pristine, then dotted with a few nomads' yurts, the trail enters hillier terrain as we reach our yurt camp. An early-evening soak in the hot springs will be much appreciated.
The trail leads us into the heart of the Orkhon River Valley, and the landscapes become ever more mountainous. The steppe gradually changes into the rolling scenery of the volcanic Khangai Mountains. We arrive in mid-afternoon at our hosts' place, near the Orkhon Falls.
This morning, we leave our bikes and sidecars back at base, and explore the steppe. With several guides, we go horse-riding in one of the country's most beautiful valleys - an unforgettable experience. In mid-afternoon, back in the saddle for a 90-minute cruise through the valley.
In early morning, we climb onto our Royal Enfields and ride straight north to the ancient capital of Gengis Khan's empire, on superb trails then a smooth asphalt road. Night in a yurt camp.
The marmots among you can enjoy a lie-in! After lunch, we take an asphalt road to the dunes of Khogno Khan. The winds coming off the steppe convey the sand to the foot of the mountains - a place known as "Little Gobi''.
We ride the road to Ulan Bator - a superb ribbon of asphalt along the desert plain, then the steppe. One last day immersed in these mind-blowing landscapes. We reach the capital at day's end.
A free day for those with a late flight. We'll savour the unique atmosphere of the capital, both rough and warmly welcoming. Ulan Bator won't leave you cold. Transfer to the airport.
“Was uncertain to begin with, as to what to expect from vintage rides or India. Found both to be fantastic, which was defiantly down to vintage rides and their guides. There assistantance was informative and I was left in awe of my experience, to such an extent that I have booked to do another trip with them”
“Very professionally run with experienced guides who, through their local knowledge, can get you to out of the way places the average traveller would not have access to.”
“Very professional team lead by Tour leader Pascal no hesitation recommending Vintage Rides to other motorcycle enthusiasts around the world.”
