🏍️ Motorcycle Expedition through the Untamed Trails of Tien Shan

This route is not for casual riders — it’s for those who crave the unexplored. Narrow mountain passes, wild canyons, off-road trails, rushing rivers, and high-altitude lakes — each day of this adventure presents a new challenge.
You’ll ride through the heart of Kyrgyzstan, across places where few tourists have gone — from the ancient Burana Tower to the icy lakes of Arabel, from the sacred Son-Kul to the velvet canyons of Ak-Sai. It’s a true test — of you, your bike, and your spirit.
