Overview
This takes all day. The route starts in the foothills and pushes further and further from the city through rocky trails, river crossings, and open steppe. The destination is Bartogay reservoir — turquoise water surrounded by red and yellow desert hills. The contrast is striking. The riding alternates between fast steppe sections and slow, technical rock gardens. You need endurance and experience. There's a reason it's rated difficulty 5.

Rider Reviews
"Turquoise water in a canyon with red-and-white layered cliffs. No cell service for the last hour. The ride out there crosses steppe, rivers, and rocky climbs, so by the time you see the reservoir you've earned it."
Нурсултан К."The colors of Bartogay are insane — turquoise meets terracotta. Long ride through varied terrain. Pack lunch, you'll want to stay!"
