Thursday 18 June/2 July - Some amazing riding and views today via a few more technical roads and tracks. Then onto Tsenkher Hot Springs and finally to our first of two Fairfield Guesthouse stops where we can recharge, have a hot shower, sit by the fire and sleep in a real bed - About 170km (gravel)

Breakfast and Lunch by Fairfield and Evening Meal at Fairfield

Friday 19 June/3 July - We ride roads less-travelled today via some small but beautiful hot-springs (defs worth a bath!), a couple of mountain passes, a spectacular gorge and bridge which looks like it shouldn’t be crossed. We’ll see the Khorgo Volcano before arriving at our beautiful campsite beside the Terkhiin Tsagaan (White) Lake - About 280km (gravel)

Breakfast at Fairfield, Lunch and Evening Meal by Fairfield

Saturday 20 June/4 July - Let’s head north on trails to die for! Towards Russia (who would have thought?). Tonight we experience (to some extent) what it’s like to live as a nomad in this gorgeous country. We stay at the Via Via Harganat Ger Camp west of the town of Murun - About 260km (gravel)

Breakfast and Lunch by Fairfield and Evening Meal at Via Via Harganat

Sunday 21 June/5 July - The ride today is an easy roll (including a little asphalt) to the town of Hatgal which sits at the southern end of Kovsgol Lake (the largest body of water in Mongolia). We will visit a coffee shop which will rival Melbourne’s best and then have the option to ride up a nearby mountain where (depending on the day) we’ll be able to spot Russia! We later ride around to the eastern side of the lake to the ‘top-secret most beautiful camp-spot in the world’ (seriously) - About 190km including the mountain option (asphalt, gravel, rock - this is a MUCH easier ride if you don’t do the mountain option which is quite technical)

Meals Included: Breakfast at Via Via Harganat, Lunch and Evening Meal by Fairfield

Monday 22 June/6 July - We won’t rush off too quickly this morning because it is truly a wonderful place to be! When we do, we’ll travel directly east for a while through the village of Chandiman Undur before turning south to ride through some of the most beautiful Mongolian forest you will ever see - Camp beside the Egiin River - About 125km (gravel)
