The motorbikes are allocated and we set off. Start riding south-west across the rolling hills of Tuv "Central" province. We pass through only a couple of villages and most families are living the nomadic lifestyle. Overnight wild camping near in    'Buren'.

Ride to Kharkhorin, the original capital of Mongolia and visit    'Erdene Zuu'  monastery. This was the first and most important Buddhist monastery in the country, founded in the 16th century. Afternoon continue westwards and overnight wild camping near 'Tuvshruulekh'.

Ride through Tsetserleg town, then through remote valleys along the    'Chuluut'  river gorge. Enter the national park and ride past Khorgo volcano to reach the ger camp right beside Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur, the    "White Lake".

Ride northwards through lovely and varied scenery, over    'Tarvagtain Pass'  and on to Jargalant village, famous for being the birthplace of    "Undur Gongor", the tallest man in Mongolia; he lived in the early 20th century and stood at 2.36 meters tall. Overnight camp beside    "Zurkh Lake".

We are now in the province known as Khovsgol, a beautiful mountainous region that borders Siberia and has several major rivers which flow north into Lake Baikal. Near the point where    'Five Rivers'  meet is a ger camp and here is where we spend the evening, surrounded by spectacular scenery.

Continuing clockwise “with the sun”, we travel southwards, initially on tarmac road, to the region of    'Bulgan Province'  and spend the night wild camping in remote mountains of Arkhangai Province in near Khanui River, far from any of the regular tourist trails. Overnight camping near    "Khanui River".

Ride southwards and along a very pretty part of a belt of sand dunes which stretches for 80km through the    'fertile'  grassy hills of Uvurkhangai province. The sandy track is quiet and remote, not much used even by local people. Emerge at the dramatic granite mountain of Khogno Khan. Overnight    'Khogno Khan'  ger camp.

Set out from Khogno Khan mountain, riding about 50km on the main highway, then turning off onto    'rough tracks'  in a north easterly direction. Ride through the sparsely populated hills and open steppe to reach Uvurburd Els, another desert area with sand dunes. Overnight     'Uvurburd Els'  ger camp.
