"Eastern charme" meets awesome Scenery
Day 1 | Early morning arrival in Osh. Some time to relax before we meet for Lunch. After a Tour briefing a short ride to get aquinted with the Yamaha XT‘s. The first day‘s ride we follow the highway to the Kyrgyz capitol Bishkek. |
Day 2 | Most likely it‘s gonna be hot so we will enjoy a swim at Toktogul lake right next to our hotel. |
Day 3 | We ride up to 3400m and cross the Ala-Bel pass before reaching the high altitude Suusamir plains. Herds of horses, meadows and forests along our way to lake Song-Köl. Here we spent the night at 3000m in Nomad.s Jurts. A good chance that we will enjoy fish, fresh from the lake for dinner. Mostlikely you have never before seen starry heavens like tonight. |
Day 4 | A short but spectacular 180km‘s ride brings us to today‘s destination, the Univercity town of Naryn. No doubt that it will take a while since there will be countless opportunities to take great shots. After a „Yurt“ night we will stay in a comfortable Hotel/Guesthouse tonight and we‘ll enjoy our Dinner there as well. |
Day 5 | A fairly good road through „Marmot Valley“ brings us to the 15th century Caravanserai of Tash Rabat. Our cozy Yurts are set up a few meters from the Caravanserai on a green meadow alongside a gurgling river. |
Day 6 | The scenery and the colors of the mountain ranges are constantly changing today. Good we charged our camera‘s batteries. We cross the passes Kulak-Ashuu 3400m and Kayyun 2930m before reaching the old Goldmining town of Kazerman. Homestay with the restroom across the courtyard reminds of Grandma‘s place. |
Day 7 | A fairly long but nevertheless awesome ride across the 3062m high Kaldaman-Pass makes for a worthy last days ride back to Osh. A farewell Dinner before we leave tomorrow. |
Day 8 | Farewell and good bye Kyrgyzstan! |
