Mongolia motorcycle tour - Adventures in the Back of Beyond

The Back of Beyond was first put into print by Sir Walter Scott and is also what the Never-never region of desert in Australia is called. Mongolia is certainly the Back of Beyond with more than half of its population living in Ulaanbataar the capital.
Outside UB as it is known, is populated by the occasional village with multi coloured roofs, nomadic camps and above all livestock, sheep, cattle horses and dogs.
Extreme Bike Tours run out of UB to the sparsely populated Northwest region. After leaving the city and turning off the road we rarely see the bitumen again. This is a tour in the wilds, following tracks, crossing rivers often riding through meadows of wild flowers or forests of silver birch and pine heading towards Lake Khövsgöl in the north a huge blue lake of fresh water surrounded by mountains.
While predominantly Aussies with a few Americans and Brits thrown in for good measure, both our tours this year test everyones ability to handle the mighty Royal Enfield off road with only one knobbly on the back.
We carry everything with us, in four support vehicles, including the formidable Forgon, a Russian military vehicle carrying spares, tents, the golden throne (toilet),and food. Stocking up on the way on fresh meat from the nomads and copious amounts of beer and vodka to consume around the fire under the vast night sky.
