CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: planning record, not independently verified geometry.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distances and riding times are planning figures. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

In the far south of Kazakhstan, east of the city of Shymkent, the Western Tien Shan mountains rise abruptly from the steppe in a wall of snow-capped peaks, deep gorges and forests of juniper, walnut and wild fruit trees. The Sairam-Ugam National Park protects a large part of these mountains, and it is one of the components of the Western Tien Shan World Heritage site, listed by UNESCO in 2016 together with areas in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.

Sairam-Ugam State National Nature Park - I is where the day begins. Next is Sairam-Ugam State National Nature Park - S.
The Western Tien Shan comes down to meet the steppe here, in the far south of Kazakhstan, and the Sairam-Ugam National Park protects a big piece of that collision. Snowy ridges rise above deep valleys with rushing rivers, forests of juniper, birch and wild fruit trees, and high meadows full of flowers in early summer. The park is part of the Western Tien Shan World Heritage Site, shared with Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan and listed in 2016, a region known as one of the places where many fruit trees, including wild apples, walnuts and apricots, have their origins. The wildlife includes snow leopards, ibex, bears and the endemic Menzbier's marmot.
