12 Day Mongolia Dirt Bike Tour Gobi Desert Riding

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.

Approximately 40% of this route is paved, and 60% is unpaved. While this is not a hard-enduro-style tour, there are sections of sandy tracks and short rocky bits. It is important to note that some days will be more challenging, especially after rain, as we ride alongside rivers.

This is the total riding distance from start to finish. This is not exact, and the real distance covered may be affected by several factors.
Support
Fully supported and guided
Our Mongolian tours depart with a support vehicle, our driver, and a mechanic. We ride with a spare motorcycle, spare tools and parts on the trailer in our support vehicle.

This is our best effort to provide an average accommodation rating on tour based on various factors and additional amenities.

Difficulty Rating
5 (out of 10)
This is our best effort to give an average rating for the trip, based on the average rider. This is subjective though, and will vastly depend on your own riding experience and ability. It can also vary depending on the weather conditions during your trip. If you're new to enduro bikes or have minimal off-road riding experience, you might find certain sections more challenging than others. The tour features some sandy tracks and riverside riding, which can be tricky for new off-roaders. If you're in any doubt about your riding ability, or if this difficulty rating concerns you, we strongly recommend you arrange a chat with one of our experienced tour leaders.
Average Daily Ride Hours

We plan to ride within the six-hour-a-day timeline; however, this can vary from group to group and depends on weather conditions and road changes. Some days on the Gobi Explorer reach the six-hour mark, especially if there has been rain.

Tour Overview

Complete and utter motorcycle freedom โ€“ this is the best way to describe a tour in this part of the world.ย  This Mongolian motorcycle adventure is one of our easier dirt biking trips and perfect for the rider who wants to soak up endless riding on vast open expanses. We often refer to our Mongolian motorcycle tours as the ultimate riding freedom.ย 

Explore regions of the Gobi desert, exhilarating trails that take you through pine forests, past lakes, and into the heart of a country and a landscape tempered by an intense past. Mongoliaโ€™s scenery is absolutely fascinating and changes as you ride โ€“ you might start the day with the sun coming up over a horizon that stretches as far as the eye can see and ride through gorgeous forests with abundant waterfalls as the day progresses. Youโ€™ll stay in authentic Ger camps which, while not everyoneโ€™s cup of tea and certainly far from a 5-star experience, is an experience that solidifies the Mongolian adventure already running through your veins after a long dayโ€™s ride.ย 

History lovers โ€“ youโ€™ll be covering distances and riding routes that the great Genghis Khan and his army once rode. Youโ€™ll step into forgotten monasteries and walk on sacred land while taking in the silence with only nature to overwhelm you.

The sheer expanse of the country and the vibrant culture, lively people and variety of wildlife you come across make for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

This may be the most adventurous place weโ€™ve ever explored. Complete and utter motorcycle freedom – this is the best way to describe a tour in this part of the world.ย ย
