Overview
You climb the classic forest trail to the Kok-Zhailau plateau - roots, rocks, clay, the usual. But instead of going back the same way, the return route follows the top of the mountain ridge itself. It's narrow. One side drops into a forested gorge, the other side drops toward the city. You can see all of Almaty from up there. Riding this 'blade' takes focus and calm hands on the throttle. It's one of the more photogenic routes we run - and one of the more nerve-wracking.
What to Expect
- Riding a narrow ridge spine
- Drops on both sides
- Full Almaty panorama
- Forest + exposed rock in one ride
What's Included
- Full set of protective gear
- Transfer from the city to the location and back
- Briefing and bike control training
- Full technical support
- Mountain herbal tea and lunches on long rides
- Expert guide along the best routes

Rider Reviews
"The ridge trail is next level! You ride along the mountain spine with valleys dropping on both sides. Not for the faint-hearted."
Бауыржан Е."The ridge section had me white-knuckling the handlebars. Gorge on the left, city on the right, trail maybe a meter wide. But it's well-worn and the guide stays close. Would do it again."
