Red canyons, high passes and a lake in the sky

Most people know Kyrgyzstan from a map of the Silk Road. We know it from the saddle: long gravel climbs, empty valleys, and nights in yurts beside a lake above 3,000 m.

This is our first Kyrgyzstan trip. We start in Bishkek, drive to Kochkor to ease into the altitude, then ride seven days through the Karakol Valley, the red cliffs of Kyzyl-Oi, the Kokomeren gorge and up to Song-Köl.

A support vehicle follows with camp kit, food and your bags, so you ride light and sleep well.

Temperatures

Warm days, cold nights

​

Duration

10 days / 9 nights

Payment: ₹67,500 + GST deposit holds your place. Balance due 60 days before departure. Deposit fully refundable until the trip is confirmed. Full cancellation terms are in the FAQ.

Hi, I’m Sudhanshu
founder of Wildly Radical.

I started Wildly Radical as a way to bring intentionality,

slowness, and inner shift into the world of adventure.

After years of cycling through the Himalayas solo,

I realised that bikepacking is more than sport, it's a path to transformation.

Kyrgyzstan is our newest chapter: empty valleys, high passes and a lake in the sky. This first edition is about riding it well, together.
