Overview
This is the light version of our Ili River routes. You leave Almaty and head into the Kazakh steppe - flat, open, fast. The terrain shifts between packed dirt, sandy stretches, and dusty canyon trails along the Ili River. You'll visit Tamgaly-Tas (Painted Rocks), where Buddhist figures were carved into black cliffs in the 17th century. This is where you can actually open up the throttle. No tight forest turns, no steep climbs - just wide open space and the bike doing what it was built for. The ride back through the steppe at full speed is the highlight for most people.
What to Expect
- Full-throttle steppe riding
- Sand, dust, and river canyons
- 17th-century Buddhist rock carvings

"Completely different from the mountain tours. Flat steppe, sandy dunes, then suddenly ancient Buddhist carvings on black cliffs by the river. The ride back is wide open, full speed across the desert."
Марат К."The Tamgaly petroglyphs are a UNESCO site - seeing them by e-bike made it special. Hot ride in summer though, bring lots of water!"
