Overview
This route follows the Ili River valley into the steppe. The destination is a wooden-and-stone fortress called 'Turkestan,' built in 2004 as a set for the film 'Nomad.' It was never taken down. The walls, watchtowers, and medieval houses are all still there, sitting in empty steppe with the Ili River nearby. The ride out is fast - open dirt trails with room to push the speed. Good photo spot. The fortress and the surrounding hills are fun to ride around. On the way back, the steppe opens up for a full-throttle return.

Rider Reviews
"There's a full-size medieval fortress in the middle of nowhere, built for a film. Walls, watchtowers, the works. You ride across empty steppe for an hour, then it just appears. Felt like a video game."
Ержан М."Hot desert riding with historical stops. The Ili riverbank sections are gorgeous. Bring extra water and sun protection."

Up through the forest to Kok-Zhailau, back along the razor-thin mountain ridge. Drops on both sides. Requires steady nerves and good balance.

12-million-year-old canyon. You ride down into it on red sand, through rock towers carved by wind, to the Charyn River at the bottom. At sunset the cliffs glow.
