THE GOBI DESERT - 15 RIDING  DAYS

​

             Around 2100 kms

​

Vast expanses of emptiness, driving for days through dry, dusty land, this Gobi desert itinerary will take you to some of the iconic sites: the Khongryn Els and the Flaming cliffs. Traveling by motorcycle in the Gobi might be easier and faster than in the steppe but the distances are greater and there are fewer nomads who could help you in case of problems. . This itinerary is given as an indication and does not include rest days that you will have to add to your program. 

​

After a few years of experience, we realised that most travellers who went to the Gobi returned disappointed. Since then we don't encourage people from going there. The attractions are there but with high mileage, lots of tourism and prices much higher than the rest of the country. 

 

The Gobi Desert is really reserved for travelers who have experience,  who know how to repair a faulty motorcycle and get out of a delicate situation on their own.

     

        

Be careful, the same village can have several different names which adds to the confusion. The best application is Komoot which can be used off line and whose names roughly match those of the map of Mongolia. Google maps is only recommended to find hotels. The names of the villages are often different. 

This route that you can download on your phone is not 100% reliable. Indeed, a river whose water has risen due to rain may prove to be impassable at the location indicated on your GPS. The tracks are in perpetual motion but the general direction remains the same.
