Overview
MKAD is an ironic name - the abbreviation matches Moscow's ring highway, but this is a massive off-road loop through the foothills above Almaty. You ride up through Kargalinka to the True Balcony, descend the other side on loose gravel toward Wolf Mountain (famous among local downhillers), and loop back through the Kaskabas area. It's fast, dusty, and physically demanding. The downhill sections are steep enough to test your brakes. A 10-hour loop that covers more ground than any other single-day route.
What to Expect
- Biggest single-day loop we run
- Wolf Mountain downhill
- Fast cross-country sections

What's Included

Bukreev Peak (5 Peaks)
Level 8. Five peaks in a row, each steeper than the last. Bukreev Peak at 3,100m. For riders with serious endurance and no quit in them.

For Experienced
Aksay Lakes
Level 8. Remote glacial lakes at 3,350m behind juniper fields and boulder chaos. So few people come here that bear sightings are common.
Full Day
For Experienced
Kaskelen Lakes
Level 8. Wide alpine valley that feels like Tibet - no tight gorges, just open space, scattered lakes, and a river winding through. Deep fords and long fast straights.
