Light & Easy
55 kg, easy to handle, forgiving on mistakes. The bike most beginners start on. Good for forest trails and learning the basics.

Lake Kaindy sits at 2,000m in the Kungey Alatau range. A landslide triggered by the 1911 earthquake blocked a valley and flooded a spruce forest. The trees died but the cold water preserved them - their bare trunks still stick up through the surface over a century later. The water is turquoise and never warmer than +6°C. Getting there on the bike means fording several icy streams and riding through birch forest on rocky trails. The lake has a strange, slightly eerie atmosphere. Worth the effort.
Helmet, balaclava, body armor with arm protection, knee pads (worn over your pants), jersey, and gloves.
Water, a windbreaker or jacket (depending on the weather), durable pants, and comfortable closed-toe shoes.

"Dead spruce trunks poking out of bright turquoise water. It's been like that since 1911, when an earthquake flooded the valley. The ride in is long, through birch groves and river fords. Water was freezing even in August."
Алексей Ш."Brought my camera and filled the memory card. The dead trees in turquoise water are eerie in the best way. Full-day trip, my legs were done by the end, but every photo came out insane."
Hannah J."Long but rewarding ride. The last section is quite technical - be ready for mud after rain. The lake makes everything worth it."

Same start as Kok-Zhailau, but instead of turning back, you keep climbing. Rocky trail to 2,500m with views down onto Shymbulak and Medeu that most people never see.

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.
