This 9-day singletrack MTB tour in Kyrgyzstan follows old shepherd paths rather than roads. You ride about 190 km on trails and dirt tracks: from the forests of Chong-Kemin to the Boom gorge, up to the alpine lake Kol-Ukok and down to Kochkor, from the Kalmak-Ashuu pass into the Song-Kol basin and around the lake, down the famous 32 switchbacks and on old mining roads above Issyk-Kul. A 4×4 carries luggage and shuttles the climbs, nights are in guesthouses and yurt camps, with an eagle hunter and a swim in the lake on the way. Private, June to September.
The price is calculated individually: it depends on group size, dates and accommodation level. Send a request and we will prepare an offer for your group.

Moments that stay with you
Season. June to September; July–August are the most reliable months at Song-Kol.
Bike and gear. Trail or enduro bike with good brakes and tubeless tyres, spare derailleur hanger, helmet and gloves. Our guide carries tools and a first aid kit.
Weather. Cold mornings at 3,000 m and sudden rain — bring a windproof layer and warm gloves.
Booking. 10–30% deposit by bank transfer or card, the rest on arrival in Bishkek.
Mostly flowing shepherd singletrack and loose gravel descents — comparable to blue and some red trails in the Alps. There are no bike parks or built features; the challenge is altitude and natural terrain.
Yes, on request we arrange a hardtail or full-suspension MTB in Bishkek. Most riders prefer their own bike with their own setup.
Between about 12 and 65 km — shorter days at altitude, longer ones on the way down. The 4×4 shuttles big climbs, and you can always sit out a section in the car.
