You'll land in Bishkek and be comfortably transferred to your hotel by shuttle bus. In the afternoon, you'll enjoy a guided tour of Kyrgyzstan's green capital, exploring the bazaar, the city center with its squares, and government buildings. The day concludes with a group dinner.

After breakfast, you'll take a bus out of town (approx. 1 hour) and begin your cycling tour on a quiet road near the mountains. The route follows an asphalt road up to the thermal resort of Issyk-Ata. The afternoon is free for resting or a dip in the hot springs. You'll spend the night in a simple guesthouse right in the resort.

From the spa town, a 10-km descent leads to Rotfront, a settlement founded in 1927 by German immigrants in a mountain valley, which still houses the largest German community in Kyrgyzstan. About an hour further on stands the Burana Tower, an 11th-century minaret. After a lunch break at the Burana Tower, you cycle through several villages to Orlovka, where you will spend the night in a guesthouse.

Today's cycling stage takes you from the Chui Valley into the idyllic Chon Kemin Valley. With its alpine mountain scenery, it gives you a glimpse of why Kyrgyzstan is also known as the "Switzerland of Central Asia." You'll reach your guesthouse in the early afternoon, where, after lunch, you can relax in the garden and enjoy the mountain views for the rest of the afternoon.

The Chon Kemin Valley offers a stunning backdrop for a relaxing tour. You'll pass through numerous villages, have time for a chat or tea with the locals, and experience life in rural Kyrgyzstan. In the afternoon, you'll return to your comfortable accommodation.

To reach the high-altitude lake Son Kul at 3,000 meters, you'll take the tour bus today to Kochkor (approx. 1.5 hours). Near the small town, you'll visit a traditional felt workshop and try your hand at making this national product. After lunch, the tour vehicle will take you on a spectacular drive up to Son Kul Lake. In the afternoon, you'll arrive at your yurt camp nestled amidst the vast high-altitude landscape.

You'll spend the day exploring the stunning landscape surrounding Son Kul. Those who wish can participate in a leisurely hike or try horseback riding on a Kyrgyz horse. In the afternoon, you'll return to Kochkor, where you'll spend the night in comfortable accommodation and enjoy a relaxing evening together.

Back in Kochkor, you begin the second part of your cycling trip: the impressive tour along the Terskey Ala Too mountain range. Today, a more challenging mountain stage awaits you. You'll cycle steadily uphill to the Semiz Bel Pass (2,715 m). Along the way, you'll take breaks to enjoy the magnificent scenery. In the small village of Tura Suu, you'll spend the night in a simple guesthouse and experience the generous hospitality.

After breakfast, today's leg of your journey takes you over the 2,565-meter-high Ala Bash Pass into the Ala Bash Valley. Time seems to have stood still in this valley. The people there live from livestock farming, and few travelers visit this remote side valley of Issyk-Kul. You leave the valley via the newly built connecting road to Issyk-Kul and drive down to the second-largest mountain lake in the world. Following the rugged shoreline along sandy tracks, you reach a unique yurt camp right on the water's edge.

The stage begins impressively with a ride through the loess-rich Kyzyl-Eschme Gorge. Following a gravel track along Tong Bay, you reach Bokonbaeva, where you can take a break in the garden of a guesthouse and also visit an eagle hunter. The route continues at a relaxed pace along the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul to Kaji Say, where you conclude your cycling tour and celebrate with a toast.

The drive along the southern shore of Issyk Kul isn't long, but it offers plenty of opportunities for stops. In the morning, you'll take an excursion to the bizarre rock formations near Kaji Say. Over many years, wind and water have sculpted mystical sculptures and formations there. For lunch, you'll visit a very special yurt camp. The Tai Chi Yurt Camp in Tosor not only prepares delicious vegetarian dishes, but also features yurts of all sizes, including the largest wooden yurt in Kyrgyzstan, and, not to be forgotten, one of the most beautiful beaches on Issyk Kul. After a leisurely lunch break, you'll continue on to the Eco Village Lodge in Yeti Oguz.

Today you'll take a trip to the nearby provincial capital, Karakol. The Karakol bazaar, the famous wooden Dungan mosque and Orthodox church, and the historical museum are just a few of the sights worth visiting. You should also definitely try the Uyghur cuisine, especially the famous Karakol dish "Ashlamfu." Alternatively, you can take a swimming trip to Lake Issyk-Kul. Back at the guesthouse, those interested can observe the preparation of dinner and learn how to make typical Kyrgyz dishes in cooking classes.

After breakfast, you'll begin your return journey to Bishkek. The approximately 6-hour drive along the shores of Issyk-Kul and through the Chui Valley will offer a chance to reflect on your trip. A stop at a yurt-making workshop is possible along the way. You can even try your hand at building a yurt yourself. You'll arrive back in Bishkek in the late afternoon and conclude your trip with a farewell dinner.

On the last day, you will be transferred to the airport for your return flight.
