Considered the easiest but as well most scenic of 1/2-day bike treks on offer in South Shore, transport to Boz Salkyn jailoo (summer pasture) serves as the starting point for riders. Set amidst a countryside of Kyrgyz nomads and traditional yurt dwellings, grazing livestock and packs of horses, the jailoo at Boz Salkyn serves as a cultural highlight before starting the ride. A multi-hour descent from the pasture, following the beautiful Kaji-Say river and Kapchigai Gorge leads riders eventually to the shores of lake Issyk Kul, a favorite leisure spot for lunch and a quick dip before being transported back to Bokonbaevo.
