Central Asia Bikepacking
A dream trip: one month with my husband in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Beginning in Bishkek we headed north into Kazakhstan and braved the highway into bustling Almaty. After escaping the city we pedaled through scorching hot steppe to Charyn Canyon and then south to another border with Kyrgyzstan. From Naryn we followed bikepacking.com’s Tian Shan Traverse route through staggeringly beautiful mountains and nomadic pastureland. This trip had it all: scenery, culture, challenge, and teamwork!
