Our 16-day Mongolia and Eastern Siberia Adventure begins and ends in Barnaul in Eastern Siberia and continues into Mongolia, where riders will spend eight days riding the vast expanses of this fascinating country.
Mongolia remains one of the few countries in the world which has retained the ancient culture and traditions of their steppe ancestors. Few places are so remote and uninhabited, yet incredibly beautiful. Mongolia is truly an adventure destination where motorcyclists can see the traditions of the past still practiced today by hardy nomads dwelling on the country’s vast steppes and deserts.
Mongolia features spectacular rural landscapes, vast steppes, rugged mountains, clear lakes and abundant wildlife and livestock. It’s this true wilderness experience that many people find so appealing.
As exciting a destination as Mongolia is, riders will be no less impressed with the magnificent motorcycling in the Altai region of Eastern Siberia. This region has long been a favorite destination for Russian off-road enthusiasts.
Take a look back at our Mongolia and Eastern Siberia Adventure 2015 through the photos and stories posted by our tour leader and participants.
