Tour Overview
Kyrgyzstan is one of the best-kept secrets of Central Asia: snow-capped mountains that disappear into the clouds, alpine lakes with turquoise water, stunning gorges, glacial rivers and vast grasslands dotted with wild horses. This week-long guided motorcycle tour of the Silk Route starts and ends in the capital, Bishkek, with a MotoRover guide on the lead bike and a sweep car carrying a mechanic and first-aid kit.
The paved roads on the route were part of the ancient Silk Route, but the real beauty of Kyrgyzstan shows itself off-road, so the ride on a CF Moto 450 MT mixes paved roads and dirt trails across mountain passes. The Tash Rabat caravanserai, traditional Kyrgyz horse games, a falconry show, a folklore show and a night in a luxury yurt camp at Lake Song Kul give a rich insight into the nomadic life of the Kyrgyz.
