Oh, 2019—simple times.
Did we say simple? We meant silly.
Fear not, the nonsense is back in full, filthy glory. The Mongol Rally returns in July and August 2025, ready to drag you across half the globe with all the reckless abandon of a startled cow. Be there, or become a soggy piece of cardboard.

"Delicate moments in managing to get past a stretch of the Wakhan Highway due, unbeknownst to us, to the collapse of a bridge.... In order not to chase the masses, on the Pamir Highway, we decide to push ourselves onto a road mainly used by off-road vehicles which made us grit our teeth on several occasions.... a special thanks goes to Tina and Dirk from Germany for the support with their Defender!!"

"Momenti delicati per riuscire ad oltrepassare un tratto della Wakhan Highway a causa, a nostra insaputa, del crollo di un ponte.... Per non inseguire la massa, sulla Pamir Highway, decidiamo di spingerci su una strada percorsa principalmente da fuoristrada che, ci ha fatto stringere i denti in più occasioni....un ringraziamento particolare va Tina e Dirk dalla Germania per il supporto con il loro Defender!!"

Øystein & Joakim hit a massive milestone on the Pamir Highway on this summer's Mongol Rally. Here's how they described it back in August.
"The trip counter has now rolled over 15000km! And we are on the final stretch to Oskemen!
"The Pamir highway surprised us with it's magnificent views, treacherous roads and lack of cellphone reception (hence the lack of updates). After racing through the mountains we were finally reunited with the two other Micras! The three a'Micras rise again! Now also joined by the awesome team @bonsaisessions!
"The roads were hard on both the cars and the passengers! The Pamir highway gave us a taste of the high altitude when crossing the peak at over 4600m! We camped at the Karakul lake next to the Kyrgyzstan border at 4000m. This was our coldest camp yet, but we were able to stay warm with a great DJ session and a bonfire made with cowsh*t! ( It is hard to find firewood at these altitudes, and the locals were more than happy enough to sell us some dried cowsh*t)
"After entering Kyrgyzstan we were lucky enough to be invited by a family to their yurt and try some local delicacies like homemade bread, butter and fermented horse milk (we concluded that this was an acquired taste and not everyone was a fan).
"The highway was at last defeated but it had taken a toll on our cars. Our front and rear dampers are in the process of failing and two of our tyres were punctured (one beyond repair). But that's part of the fun adventure! Any wimp can do the Pamir highway in a Toyota land cruiser, not everyone can do it in a Nissan Micra!"

The Swiss Alps. On the Mongol Rally they're a cheeky starter before the main. A prawn cocktail of bitumen streaked mountain roads before the Central Asian vindaloo roughs you up with offroad tracks and unpredictable sphincter twitches.
This is team @galskap_2024 on day 6 of the 2024 rally:
"4,267 kilometers. Heights of Switzerland conquered. The heat in the sun almost got unbearable today, with our phones and navigational tablet shutting down, due to overheating.
"New speakers installed in a parking lot. We got music again! What next? More of Switzerland, or maybe Italy or Austria? We'll see in the morning."

"We climbed the highest peak of the Pamir highway, and it was epic!"
Team Swetaly on the 2024 Mongol Rally a few weeks back, burning some clutch and making bedroom noises as they forced their tiny car up and over the Ak-Baital pass in Tajikistan.
The 2025 rally is open right now.
