GENERAL INFO

The Gobi desert is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Mongolia. You will enjoy extremely remote landscapes, no cell phone coverage and nobody else around you in hundreds of kilometres apart from some nomadic families. You will enjoy a combination of big sand hills, rocky mountains with old canyons, as well as wide forests consisting of small saxaul trees, riding all the way back to Ulaanbaatar through endless steppes. The Gobi is the fifth biggest desert in the world and is home to a wide range of animals such as antelopes and Bactrian camels, of which you will see lots! The highest part of the Gobi is 1,580 meters and the entire area has over 1.2 million km2, a true enduro paradise. The first dinosaur fossil eggs have been found at the red "Flaming Cliffs" of Bayanzag, where you will probably experience one of the most beautiful sunrises you have ever seen. Riding through the famous ‘Flaming Cliffs of Gobi’, all in all an unforgettable once in a lifetime experience.
