What to expect
Cycling tours in Kyrgyzstan take you over quiet mountain roads and high passes, past herders’ yurts and wide alpine lakes. Our 5-day cycling tour climbs to Song-Kol lake at over 3,000 m, descends the famous 33 Parrots switchbacks from the Moldo-Ashuu pass, follows the Eki-Naryn valley and ends with rides above Issyk-Kul near Karakol.
A support vehicle carries your luggage and covers the long transfers, so you ride the best sections and enjoy them at your own pace. Nights are spent in a yurt camp, guesthouses and hotels, with all meals included.
The route suits riders with some experience on gravel and long climbs. Ride between June and September, when the passes are clear of snow.
