My name is Malik. I am the founder and editor of this site. I have 4 years of experience in multi-day bikepacking and 16 years of photo expeditions in Kyrgyzstan.
I participated in the Silk Road Mountain Race three times and finished two of them.
Watch some of my recent tours here.
I would be happy to help plan your trip in Kyrgyzstan.
And I can be your guide on your bikepacking trip in this country.

I also do photography as my profession. Part of my photography focuses on landscape and culture, concentrating mainly on the lives and activities of pastoralists. Follow my photography at The Last Nomad Republic.
