After breakfast, a short vehicle transfer (~10 km) brings the riders to the upper section of Kosh-Bel Pass. From this point the cycling stage begins.

The route descends through remote valleys and continues into the impressive Chal-Kuyruk Gorge, one of the most scenic and wild gorges in the region. The trail follows gravel roads and mountain tracks surrounded by high cliffs and untouched landscapes.

The day ends in the peaceful summer pastures of Depshe, where we set up camp for the night.

• Cycling distance: ~28 km

• Elevation: +1,132 m / –1,307 m

• Estimated riding time: ~6 hours

• Terrain: gravel roads, mountain tracks, remote gorge sections

• Overnight: camping in tents (Depshe pastures)

After breakfast, continue cycling toward Kara-Kur village through wide open mountain valleys with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.

As the route approaches Kara-Kur village, the trail becomes very steep with long downhill sections. Cyclists should be careful on these descents.

Important safety note:

Please avoid holding the brakes continuously during long descents, as this may cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness. If you are not confident riding down steep sections, it is recommended to get off the bike and walk for safety until the terrain becomes easier.Another recommended technique is to brake intermittently (short braking intervals) instead of holding the brakes constantly while descending.

After reaching Kara-Kur village, the cycling stage finishes. Lunch will be served at a local guesthouse, where you can relax before the return transfer to Osh.

• Cycling distance: ~14 km

• Elevation: +1,184 m / –2,875 m

• Estimated riding time: ~3 hours

• Transfer to Osh: ~90 km / ~3 hours
