Questions before you pick a route

How much does a tour cost?
Short routes near the city start at 25,000₸, and the two-day Bektau-Ata expedition is 150,000₸. The price covers the base bike, protective gear, briefing and guide. Bike supplements and transfer arrangements are shown on the route page.
I have never ridden a motorcycle. What fits me?
BAO and Kok-Zhailau are rated 1-2 out of 10 and work for first-time riders. Every trip starts with a briefing and practice on level ground, and the guide watches how you handle the bike before the group sets off.
What is the minimum age?
Riders join from 14 with parental consent. We match the bike and route to height and experience during the practice session.
When is the season?
The main season runs from April to November. High routes open later and close earlier, because the exact window depends on snow in the mountains.
How does the day go?
At the start you get your bike and protective gear, then complete a briefing and practice before following the guide. Transfers are included on remote routes. For routes near the city, travel to the start yourself by taxi or public transport; we send you the starting point before the ride.
