June 2025 - Bike & Hike in Kyrgyzstan
This extraordinary trip was one of the best active holidays I’ve done so far. The mix between mountain bike tours and hikes in high(er) altitude(s) through partly mesmerising sceneries made the trip going to stay in my memories for a long time.
The highlight amongst many for me was an overnight stay in a tent next to a mountain lake during a two day hike.
The opportunity of riding a horse on some of those hikes was the icing on the cake. For me personally it was the first time on a horse ever which felt great after a few minutes.
The tours on the mountain bike are equally amazing and challenging but can be mastered by everyone.
The the local food we were being served was extremely delicious and always more than we could handle. The time we were able to spend with local people on several occasions doing the trip was extremely pleasant.
A special thanks goes to our guide Tilek as well as our driver Murat and helping hand Artiom who took all good care of us. Tilek in particular is an extremely nice guy to be around with. Our group thought he’s the best guide in all of Kyrgyzstan. -:)
Last, but not least, a huge thumbs up to Stefan for offering such a great adventures.
