This trip takes bikers up and down the Kegety mountain valley 100 km away from Bishkek. The slopes of picturesque Kegety are covered with Tien-Shan pine woods. This is a challenging expedition with a long and tedious upward movement for 2/3 of the time. The reward is a pleasant breeze in the bikers' face on the return way. Among attractions along the way are Kegety waterfalls, the Kara Unkur Caves, and moraine lakes in the side valleys.
