Have you heard of Mongol Rally?The Mongol Rally is a car rally that begins in Europe and ends in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. The principal launch is from Goodwood Circuit, United Kingdom, with subsidiary starting points in other European countries. It is described as the "greatest adventure in the world".
In 2001 Mr Tom and Mr Joolz found themselves staring in awe at their slightly disheveled Fiat 126 wondering what to do with it. After not very long they came up with the only sensible plan - to drive to the most ridiculous place they could think of. Mongolia was chosen, being 10 000 miles away as the drunk crow flies and sporting a fine selection of the world's worst roads it seemed perfect. So with no changes of clothes, a packet of cheap cigars and a hunting knife, they set forth. Although they didn't quite reach Mongolia because of visa and border trouble they enjoyed themselves so much that they swore to return and try again. From this premise the great Mongolian Chrity Rally was born.
The Rally is now organized by the company set up by the founder, Tom Morgan, called The League of Adventurists International Limited, incorporated on the 10 November 2006. Mongolia-Attractions.com supports and cheers ALL Mongol Rally teams. I trust our visitors will do the same. You will find team information on the right column. Below you will see stories, pictures, and videos of their adventures.
