Central Asia

The At-Bashi Circuit is an adventurous 400-kilometer loop through the central-southern region of Kyrgyzstan, near the At-Bashi mountain range and the Chinese border zone. It’s relatively short compared to other Kyrgyz classics, but it offers everything the country is celebrated for: high-altitude dirt tracks, glacial mountain vistas, vast uninhabited landscapes, wide river valleys, breathtaking lakes, welcoming yurt culture, and much more.

The Celestial Divide is a bikepacking odyssey from the Great Steppe of Asia to the towering Pamirs. This north-to-south route through Kyrgyzstan weaves across the majestic Celestial Mountains and offers a raw and unforgettable journey through the heart of Central Asia...

Set in Kyrgyzstan, the remote Expedition Alay bikepacking route connects the ancient city of Osh with the barely developed Alay Valley at a height of 3,000 meters, traversing two daring passes that are navigable only by foot, bike, or horse and barely see a soul pass through. Factoring in the natural wonders you’ll witness along the way, it's a route you won’t soon forget...

The most adventurous way across the Pamirs, the Bartang Valley offers the best of Central Asia – sublime remoteness, high mountains and wild desert moonscapes, legendary hospitality, physical difficulty, and more than a little bit of danger.

Kyrgyzstan soars to every superlative and defies you to invent new ones. It’s beautiful, culturally compelling, and physically challenging: Grass carpet single and double track for days through rolling river valleys between 5,000 meter snow covered peaks, delirious mountain passes with the clack and rattle of scree under tires, and friendly and outgoing nomadic horsemen herding sheep and cattle. This central asian country will race your heart and is a dreamscape for adventurous cyclists.
