Tour code:Ch3.2.GK
Departure: Beijing

On the footsteps of Gengis Khan
China and Mongolia -Sidecar Motorcycle Tour
Beijing departure


Highlights

china-mongolia-sidecar-motorcycle-tour
Mission: Same as Gengis Khan. Breach the Great Wall of China and take the capital Beijing. We get the bikes right up close and personal. Spend an afternoon walking the wall and stay the night in a nearby courtyard house with our own private chefs, we've earned it!

 

The Route: Around 250 km per day through Inner Mongolia and some "out there" country. The rolling Steppes (Grasslands), winding mountain roads and river valleys. Mostly paved but some dirt for a laugh. You can have a map but you wouldn't know where you were, leave that to us!

The motorcycle – The Mighty Chang Jiang 750
First it was designed by the Germans pre-WWII (as a BMW). Then the plans were given to the Russians, who in turn passed them to the Chinese where the bike has been reproduced until today as a military vehicle – now yours to ride – 400 kg, maximum speed 100 km (downhill). Much fun.

The Digs - We'll mostly be camping out under the stars. Quality tents, swags and solid gear where it counts and nix in some quirky local "yurt" and village stays to catch up on those showers. Grain fed beef steaks, fine whisky, bacon and eggs every day, what more does a guy want?

Day by day itinerary:

china-mongolia-sidecar-motorcycle-tour Day 3, Day 4
Out into the wild. We ride around 250 km per day (4-5 hours), this section through the northern Grasslands. Just us and the horizon. Three nights at our own wild camp sites, with all the hard work done for you, because you'll be knackered from the riding!

 

Day 5 Local village stay. A big local style cook up. Take a shower and sleep indoors (if you want)

Day 6, Day 7 and Day 8

Back into the wild, the landscape changes as we move south, low mountains begin, the big snow rivers and some desert. Out there again and back under the stars overnight by a warm campfire.

 

Day 9 Breach the Wall. We'll ride right up close for our victors photo session. Spend the afternoon walking The Wall and retire to our private courtyard house. Real showers, real chefs, real fun. A celebration.

Day 10 Have a sleep in before we ride the amazing mountain roads north of Beijing and make our lazy way back to the capital and our Bath House Residence, a massage and if we re up for
a night out.
