Smile Kyr- Taj- Uz ...timeplan ?
Hi :-)

This summer I will do a round trip, starting and ending in Bishkek.

Going around Issyk Kul, spending time visiting sites with petroglyphs, Kumbor gold mine, a few hot spings. Going south to Naryn, Tash-Rabat, relaxing a bit, further south Ak Baital Pass to Murgabh, to Lander, bibi fatima springs, yamchun fort etc..easy going. A long the border all the way up to Khorog. Later Dushanbe to Iskander Kul, camping, later the Seven Lakes, relaxing having a or 4, crossing over to Samarkand(and Khiva?) - having a nice look at the city, doing some camping, before heading to Tashkent and Ugam chatkal national park, camping etc, crossing over to Kyr again to toktokul lake heading up m 41 to Bishkek again.

I have - so far -planned 6 weeks for this tour.....what do you guys think? ..a lot for you have done this route, more or less, and I would like to know your opinion and experience..is 6 week fine, for riding and relaxing at the same time, or would I have to rush full throttle to do it in 6 weeks?

Thank you in advance for your comments and advice ! :-)

Hey viking. This is that nice Dutch guy that you met last summer. :-) Not much to advise you except for Kyrgyzstan where I was about 15 years ago visiting Bishkek / Cholpon Stay / Karakol using local transport. I hiked a couple of days around Karakol which was nice. Not sure what that looks like now though. Gonna figure out my trip also in the coming weeks so will let you know.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
