  Thanks for share! The information here is important for me : )
  
  I see a trip of red bull riders in this area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmjyGROatv0
  
  They speak about sary mogul pass and kosh moinok pass in a report...but i think they rode in anti hour direction but i don't know if they rode all the same trekking of this track or only one part.
  
  Do you think is possible this track for enduro bike in three or four days? The pass are very exposure? (i have make the tour of mont blanc and other ciclomuntain tracks in the pyrenees and not a problem for me push the bike). The villages and the campament yurts make possible a light equipment for only backpack for the day and my bike? is possible buy food in the villages or campament yurts?
  
  sorry for my questions, if you answer, you can help very much for my future kirguistan trip : )
  
  Thanks so much!

  I have no experience with bike trekking but I've seen a guy who tried to do the track by bike and had to return after a few kilometres because the trek was too exposed for him.
  You don't need a tent and much food. There are yurts offering bed and food every day. At least during the season.

  Thanks Moritzb,
  i think the most complicated pass for the bike is sary mogul, yes? but i read is possible a one more easy alternative, is true?. The trek is horary direction, but in the bike i think anti horary is better. Do you think the exposure is because the vertical and dangerous cliffs in the trail or only for the technical singletracks for the bikes?
  Thanks again : )

  Hello.
  
  Do you need a guide for this trip, or can you go on your own?
  
  I only speak English
  
  Thanks

  @Jonas, if you're fully self-supported on food and shelter there's no reason you couldn't do it on your own. However, the interactions with shepherds were part of what made it such a delightful trip, and you'd miss much of that if you don't have somebody to help bridge the language gap for you. Even then it's a really beautiful landscape still.

  Hi. Just wondering if it's suitable to do this trek at the start of september- i.e the first week. I'd have loved to do it earlier but will be exploring other parts of the country during August.

  Hi everyone
  I plan to do this trek next august, without a guide (arranged accomodation and food with CBT) and I'm wondering how is the trail marked? If not, is it obvious to follow? We'll have the gps track.
  
  Thanks for your feedback

  Hi Jonathon,

  Thanks,
