Mongolia Motorcycle Tour

It depends on your nationality. From most of the countries, you don't need a visa for Mongolia. Please always check it on your local embassy’s website. If you need any help, just contact us.

We’ll stay between the borders of Mongolia for the whole trip.

You need to have a motorcycle driving license valid for a 150 cc motorbike (at least).

You can sit in the back-up van and enjoy totally the same trip while saving 200 EUR. Also you will have the chance to sit and ride on the bike behind our guides or if you come together with a rider you can also sit on the back their bike for most part of the trip.

Every rider must bring his own motorcycle protective gear and helmet. We do not recommend wearing leather motorbike suits as we do not go fast on the bikes and we will have mostly warm weather. It’s a good idea to wear either a durable high top hiking boot, a real biking boot or even a dirt bike boot. We strongly recommend bringing good protective gear, since we are riding off-road small falls can occur. Don't forget about your rain clothes as the weather is very unpredictable.

They provide helmets if necessary, but obviously these ones are used and not from the highest quality. We recommend you bring your own one! It is your decision what kind of a helmet you prefer, but you need to be prepared for defending yourself against very strong sunshine rain, mud and a lot of dust.

There will be parts with straight, smooth concrete roads, but this is not typical, we'll mostly ride off-road. You need to be prepared for bumps, river crossings, mud, sand, grass, gravel, lots of curves and anything you can imagine.

First of all, we are traveling to Mongolia, where food is very greasy, so you need to know that diarrhea and stomach infections might occur. It’s always a good idea to keep a hand sanitizer in your bag. Hospitals are not widely spread on the Steppe, so always ride safely and focus on your physical integrity! However, if anyone feels unwell, he/she can sit in the back-up car. From this point, one of the guides will ride his/her bike for a while.

Yes, it is included in the price and the group leaders will take care of it, they bring extra supply in the back-up van.

The staff contains the following people: a professional English speaking guide grown up in Mongolia (he can ride anybody's bike if anything goes wrong and he takes care of any upcoming issues), an amazingly kind driver of the UAZ (he's also the mechanic, an expert of Shineray bikes and has his tools and spare parts in the van all the time), and there is also a group leader from the GoBeyond team, who has already done this trip multiple times and is experienced in motorcycle guiding, the local culture and sights.

You need to pack into at least 2 bags. The big bag travels in or on the back-up van so don't bring your expensive suitcases (you can pack them in and out everyday in the hotel), and hand baggages will be strapped on your motorbikes. In this you should have your extra layers, water, camera and any personal items you need during the day.

We cannot provide official information regarding vaccinations because of the specific medical history, physical condition, and other factors of each traveler determine the necessary vaccinations. Please ask your local health authority. Usually there are no mandatory vaccinations.

Depending on spending habits your budget for the trip should range from 300-600 USD. For reference, a meal is between 5-15 USD.You only have to pay for your snacks, some drinks and your mobile data. In Ulaanbaatar there are nice and relatively cheap restaurants that are worth a try.

The currency is Mongolian Tugrik MNT. We will have the opportunity to change money at the airport after the arrival to Ulaanbaatar, or somewhere in the city center. ATMs and credit card payments are not typical, so we suggest bringing cash (USD or EUR) and changing at the beginning of the trip.

Yes, it is! In Mongolia, there are lots of types of vodka and they also have local beers.

You'll need to have one that is valid for motorcycling, valid in Mongolia. If you need help, please get in touch with us!

In Ulaanbaatar we'll stay in 4 or 5-star hotels, and on the Steppe, we'll sleep in yurts (2-4 people in each). The bathroom is usually in a common building close to the yurts. Optionally you can spend one or two nights in tents as well, somewhere in the middle of nowhere. The hospitality of the locals makes up for all the inconveniences.

You don't have to be worried, the back-up van with the mechanic is always the last one on the road. If something comes up just park your bike on the side of the road, wait for the van and enjoy the stunning scenery while the mechanic repairs your bike. Usually he can fix anything within 15 mins. The tour guide will wait for you at the next resting stop.

In cities such as Ulaanbaatar and Kharkhorin you’ll have both. In the remote areas it is better not to count on it, but at least every second or maximum 3rd day you will be able to contact the rest of the world. :)
