A fully supported Mongolia adventure bike tour designed for big landscapes and long riding days, from the Great Lakes region down into the Gobi. This one is about range, rhythm, and the kind of space that resets your head. Register your interest and be first to hear when dates and details drop.
Complete and utter motorcycle freedom is the best way to describe riding here: Mongolia really is dirt bike heaven, with limitless space waiting to be explored. This fully guided Mongolia dirt bike tour is built around the Gobi’s wide-open riding, big days and varied terrain, where the horizon is your only deadline. It’s not hard enduro, and it’s one of our easier off-road trips – but it’s still a genuine off-road tour, so you’ll need existing off-road experience to ride it.
Built for riders who want space, speed, and long days that flow. Expect wide-open steppe tracks, fast gravel, river crossings and the occasional technical section, with a guide leading and proper backup behind you. Less “hard enduro”, more freedom at full volume.

Unlike any other place you will have visited, the freedom to ride and roam wherever you want in Mongolia is just incredible. Once you head off the blacktop the whole of the country is open to you. Want to explore the mountain on the horizon? Just drop the clutch and set off! Feel like exploring that distant forest? Turn off the road and ride straight there.
With no fences, borders or boundaries in this enormous landscape the only limits are your imagination, oh and maybe the fuel tank! Good job that all of our motorcycle tours in Mongolia are accompanied by support vehicles!
The culture and history of the Mongolian people is one of the oldest civilisations in the world. Although in recent years many have moved towards the rapidly growing capital city of Ulaanbaatar, there are still vast numbers of Mongolians still living a nomadic lifestyle that their ever-present ancestor Genghis Khan would have recognised and approved.
Rural Mongolian life is still defined by the ubiquitous yurt and tending for livestock, even if some of the horses have been replaced with Chinese motorcycles and Japanese 4 x 4s. What hasn’t changed is the warmth and hospitality of these hardy people. Travelling Mongolia by motorcycle enables us to reach incredibly remote places where the nomadic families will always be happy to invite you into their homes at a moments notice. If they do offer you the favourite tipple of fermented horse milk, be aware it’s a very acquired taste!
More than any other country in the world, Mongolia’s history and indeed its Present and maybe future is defined by just one man. The shadow of Genghis Khan covers every aspect of the country, from the name of the airport to the favourite vodka, the civic buildings and of course the enormous steel statue that dominates the landscape just outside the capital city.
Although Khan was undoubtedly an incredible leader of his people, his story is hardly one of a quiet and uneventful reign. In his 65-year life, Genghis Khan launched hostile and brutal invasions into every neighbouring country, killing millions in the process. His activities across Asia and China went on to establish the vast Mongol Empire, the largest in history.
During our Mongolian motorcycle tours you’ll no doubt be impressed by the sheer volume and range of wild and farmed animals that roam the vast plains. From the herds of goats that flow over the hills like water, to the comical groups of wild camels that roam over the grasslands, their humps swaying from side to side as they move.
Herds of brown, white and black horses that cool themselves from the midday sun in lazy rivers to the lumbering yak that graze the sweet grass across the never-ending vistas.
Above the plains, the constant swopping and gliding of eagles, hawks and vultures adds a certain unease, especially if you stay still for too long!
We’ve never ridden in a country where there is literally nothing to stop you riding anywhere, whenever you want. In a fast developing world with increasing restrictions being put in place, to ride in such open spaces of pristine natural wonder is a very special experience.
From cool larch forests to the open grasslands, the shores of the great lakes to the rocky slopes of the dormant volcanoes… if you can ride it – you can ride it!
This place rocks. Join one of our Mongolian motorcycle tours and we’ll be sure to show you why!
Great trip as usual with Ride Expeditions. Henk was a great help as usual and fun to be with. OG the “Mad Mongolian” is a great asset to RE and his knowledge of Mongolia was exceptional also OG was great fun to be with which helps to make a good trip great. Definitely ride with RE again. Thank you.
This was booked as an enduro trip but it was far more suitable for big bikes; there was far too much road work for an enduro bike. I would have happily done all of it, including the Gobi dunes, on my 690 Enduro. On many of the high mileage days, particularly those with vast stretches of tarmac, then a small twin such as a Tenere would have been perfect. Just not a small enduro bike.
The trip was memorable and very different from anything else I've done which was the objective. Great to see another aspect of Asia. The trip showed us the vast variety Mongolia offered and to do it on 2 wheels was fantastic.
Fifth tour with Ride Expeditions and there's a simple reason I keep coming back.
I went on the Mongolia dirt bike trip with Ride Expeditions in June 2024. It was EPIC! Whole crew was organized, mechanic were on point, food was much better than I anticipated, got to stay in cool yurts every night, the pace of riding was fast. Hank, our guide, is a pro and put up with all of our bad jokes and silly question. If you want an awesome and hassle free dirt bike adventure I can't recommend this trip enough, it was so fun.

Mongolia… what an unspoiled place. Vast grasslands, open skies, amazing people. One of the few places to truly roam free. Magical in a sense. And on a motorcycle… even better. Mile after mile of open riding, dirt, mud, water. We rode it all.
Our guides Nico, OG, and Moogii were off the charts with good times! Always had smiles and laughs no matter what the conditions! Ride Expeditions did a great job of making us feel like we had no worries and everything was taken care of. The routes were great, river crossings and open spaces. Many times we rode 6 bikes abreast. Deserts to trees, sand dunes to rain, we rode it all. Watch the video! A great snapshot of what to expect.

Shout out to Nico for the attention to detail on keeping us in the fun! OG for setting an amazing pace, and Moogii for the coffee and bike maintenance!
Do yourself a favor and book your trip now before Mongolia gets found out and becomes a tourist mecca!

Source: Google My Business Went on the Mongolia Warrior Trip with Ride Expeditions in July 2024. Been on quite a few adventure motorcycle trips now all the way back to birth of the genre. They really have got better over the years, with more time of just riding and less, pretty much just following the guide, which is how it was in the beginning. First trip I went on many years ago, we were given paper maps and location we had to get to, this was pre-GPS. Those maps you were given would get wet and you spent time figuring out what it read in the creases of the paper. Ride Expeditions is a premier company and have the best guides and support. Way better and way more time to enjoy just the scenery and jumping over small rivers and avoiding stuff. There is self guided tours out there if you want the “old school” feel, but I prefer guided tours. Especially if you have a real job and 2 weeks to escape it. Nico, OG and Driver were like friends at the end. Good team and fun group ! Everything was easy and planned out really well, yet still had the adventure part. The thing about the world is the more trips you go on. The more you want to go
On. The people you ride with make each one so different. This was a super small group, which is different dynamic to large ones. I planning a few more adventures before I hang up my boots. Would go back to this company. Fancy Namibia and Laos…..weirdly RE have those….lol. Keep the rubber side down, brothers and sisters.
While there is a limited road network of very long and very straight roads, our motorcycle tours aim to spend as little time as possible on the blacktop, preferring to head out into the vast landscape on the amazing trails and tracks that cross this beautiful country.
The best thing about riding in Mongolia is the freedom to ride wherever we want… if we want to explore the top of a distant hill, we can branch off and do exactly that. We take on everything from rocky tracks to sandy trails, deep water crossings to flat out blasts across endless plains – epic stuff! If you are serious about your off-road riding, then you seriously need to check out our Mongolian motorcycle tours – it could be the best holiday you ever take.
As we’re keeping off the roads it’s no wonder we’ve chosen the awesome KTM 450 EXC as our weapon of choice for our motorcycle tours in Mongolia – the powerful motor and great suspension being the ideal combination for enjoying the scenery and trails.
Mongolia is a vast and varied country, but with so much of the country not covered by roads then visiting in the summer months is best. We schedule our Mongolia motorcycle tours between early June and late August. At this time of year the days are long & warm and the spring rain has been changed into acres after acre of wonderful green landscapes in every direction with wildflowers in full bloom.
The climate is really mild during the day in summer – Mongolia is on the same longitude as Northern Europe so it’s no real surprise that the weather in summer is pretty much as if you were in Europe. Riding in the day you’ll be comfortable riding in a light jacket or riding shirt if the sun is out. But come night time – particularly in the higher and more remote country – the temperatures drop and you’ll be pleased you packed a jumper and wooly hat!
There is of course always the possibility of a bit of rain even during the summer. This can cause some rather muddy conditions, but as there are so many different tracks and trails that cover the vast steppes, it’s often easy to pick out the easier routes! Anyway – you’re on a KTM. KTM’s eat mud.
