Day 10–11 Mongolia 🇲🇳🏍️

We started with a quiet morning in Terelj. Coffee and breakfast with the mountains outside the window, watching the park wake up. After days of riding across the steppe, through river valleys, dunes, and wide-open country, that calm morning felt like the perfect way to close the loop.

From there, we rode back into Ulaanbaatar at an easy pace. It’s a short ride, but it’s often the most reflective one—everyone replaying the highlights, laughing about the tough sections, and realizing how much Mongolia gives you in just over a week on the bike.

Back in the city, we wrapped it up the right way: a sauna-style recovery session, followed by our traditional Mongolian farewell dinner. Then on departure day, our team handles airport transfers based on your flight time so you can relax, take your time, and head home the same way you rode. Steady and taken care of.

Day 9 Mongolia 🇲🇳🏍️

110km | 90% pavement | 10% off-road
Route: Mongolian Nomadic Camp → Terelj National Park

We rode east toward Terelj National Park, and the scenery began to change again. Forested hills, rocky outcrops, and broad valleys as we approached one of Mongolia’s most well-known landscapes of Terelj National Park.

A highlight along the way was visiting a Kazakh eagle owner’s home. Seeing the bird up close and hearing about the tradition of eagle hunting gives you a real appreciation for the relationship between hunter and bird.

Then, for dinner at camp we share a very special traditional Mongolian nomadic dish called khorkhog. Everyone gets involved heating the stones, preparing the meat, cooking together and then sitting down as a group to eat in a setting that feels a world away from daily life. It’s one of those evenings that brings the whole trip together.

Day 8 Mongolia 🇲🇳🏍️

220km | 90% pavement | 10% off-road

Route: Elsentasarkhai Sand Dunes → Mongolian Nomadic Camp

We left the dunes behind and rode into greener, rolling countryside—an easier pace that gives everyone time to recharge after the more technical days. The scenery changes again: lush hills, wide valleys, and that wide-open feeling that defines Mongolia.

The best part happens on arrival. Tonight you get a mini Naadam-style experience where you’re not just watching the traditions—you’re participating. Riders can try archery, ankle bone shooting, and even a safe introduction to wrestling with local wrestlers. It’s a fun, full-circle way to connect with what you saw earlier at Naadam.

Charles has done archery with the Hadzabe on our last ride together in Tanzania, and seeing him step up to the line here was a great moment—same skill, totally different landscape and culture. Then the evening rolls on with a horse show and traditional throat singing, followed by dinner and a night in the gers with mountains and sunsets in the background. Perfect ending to the day.

Day 7 Mongolia: Jeff challenged Bazi (RIDE's lead guide in Mongolia) to wrestling. 🇲🇳
That’s like challenging an Argentinian to a soccer match. You’re already behind before it even begins. 😄

Day 7: Ugii Lake → Elsentasarkhai Sand Dunes
110km | 100% off-road

This is a shorter mileage day, but it’s one of the days riders tend to love because the terrain keeps changing. It’s 100% off-road with more variety under the tires, different textures, shifting traction, and enough change to keep you engaged without feeling like you’re fighting the bike all day.

It’s not about speed and it’s not a race. We ride at a steady pace, regroup often, and help each other through anything that feels new. Days like this build confidence fast and you usually finish feeling more able than when you started.

The reward is Elsen Tasarkhai: wide open space, rolling dunes, and scenery that makes you feel pleasantly small in the best way.

Day 6: MONGOLIA
190km | 70% off-road | 30% pavement

Route: Tsenkher Hot Springs → Karakorum (Kharkhorin) → Ugii Lake

We left Tsenkher after a quiet morning and headed north, and on the way we crested a hill after a rainstorm. All of us, up high, looking down over a town with the steppe stretching out behind us. That view sums up Mongolia: open land, long distances, and a horizon that never seems to end.

And that’s exactly why Genghis Khan could build what he built. In the early 1200s, he united tribes across these plains and created a force built around mobility. Horsemen who could travel fast, cover serious ground, and adapt to whatever the land gave them. When you ride across the steppe for days, you understand how movement and space shaped the history here.

That’s what made arriving in Karakorum (the ancient capital city) so powerful. This wasn’t just a random settlement, it became the political center of an empire that grew to influence huge parts of Eurasia. Standing in the area, walking near the monastery and remnants of the old capital, you get that strange feeling of scale: this quiet place, surrounded by open country, once sat at the center of the world’s attention.

One moment we loved: a family visiting from the city dressed in traditional heritage clothing, taking photos in front of the old imperial heartland. It was a reminder, along with many others, that this history isn’t distant for Mongolians, It’s personal, and people still show up to honor it.

From there we continued on to Ugii Lake, and the day shifted back to nature. The lake is wide and calm, surrounded by raw open steppe with almost nothing blocking the sky. After a day like this, it’s the perfect place to slow down, breathe, and let it all sink in. Wow, what a beautiful country.

Spots are filling fast on this one. Don't miss out. July 10th Trip is on!

Day 5 started normal… then Gilbert went down in mud that 100% smelled like horse poop. 🐎💀😂

Today's stats 260km or 161 miles | 100% off-road
Route: Khujirt → Orkhon Valley & Waterfall → Tsenkher Hot Springs

We rode deep into the Orkhon Valley, one of Mongolia’s most iconic landscapes—fully off-road across grasslands, rolling hills, and river valleys that feel like they go forever. This is classic Mongolia riding: remote, scenic, and the kind of day that makes you forget what day of the week it is.

The big stop was Orkhon Waterfall (Ulaan Tsutgalan)—the Orkhon River dropping over ancient lava rock into a gorge.

Weather had rolled in to this area before we got there which made the hardpack turn into mud. Which is how Gilbert ended up going down in the most unfortunate, smelliest horse-poop mud imaginable. We laughed, we helped, we laughed again. and this was also the same friend who hit a cactus on a ride we had in Mexico. 😂💀 I hope this isn't going to be a trend for him but for us, it's hilarious. Sorry Gilbert.

We also hit a ton of river crossings today—moderately challenging, with smooth chunky rock under the water at different depths. The biggest challenge was the curved river crossing, which had all of us getting our boots wet.

And the cherry on top: Tsenkher Hot Springs. The hot springs weren’t expecting a group our size, so while they filled the bigger pool, we all crammed into a smaller one… and Jeff goes, “Welcome to the cuddle puddle.” Best joke of the day.

Day 4: Remote enough that directions come from nomads, not Google. 📵🇲🇳🏍️

Today's stats: 420km | 95% off-road | 5% pavement

We left our camp and dropped straight into a full day of backcountry riding. The morning started with Gilbert and the crew climbing out of the steppe through slab rock mixed with debris.

After that… it opened up into the endless green. And this is what I love about Mongolia: the landscapes are so wide and the surfaces are so fast that you actually get to use the ADV bikes to their fullest potential.

But don’t get it twisted, it was a long, enduring day. The scale messes with your brain because there are barely any landmarks. At one point we stopped a few local nomads just to sanity-check our direction so we didn’t end up riding late. Their generosity was unreal. The “thank you” was simple: we let them hop on the bikes for photos and everybody walked away smiling.

Best moment of the day might’ve been lunch camp in the middle of nowhere. Tent up, helmets off, the whole group waving like we didn’t just ride a small country’s worth of dirt. And we were only halfway through 😅

We rolled into Khujirt late afternoon, known for some of the best horse milk in Mongolia. Which is honestly a perfect finish to a big day: unwind, swap stories, and try the local specialty you won’t forget. Video on that coming later.

Want details on this RIDE? We ride again this July.
