It's worth to check the Charyn Canyon in KZ but don't know if here is any offroad sections to get there from Almaty.

In Kyrgyzstan I rode a very nice offroad section with a few mountain passes between Kara Unkur almost all the way to Jalal-Abdad.

Take the south east road up to Song-Kul, from there head to Kazarman and then to Jalal-Abdad through the high mountains pass (don't remember the name)

There is also a gnarly mountain pass to Naryn from the south shore off Issyk Kul.
I didn't ride it but is very famous, it's called Tosor pass.

Mhh, offroad and no big cities...

Enter Kyrgyzstan east of Issik Kol, from Karkol to Namga you will have asphalt, then take the Tossor pass route, go to Song Kol through one of the 2 eastern routes: one starts in Sary Bulak, the other some forty kms south, from Song Kol go south to Ak Tal and west to Kazarman and continue to Jalalabad, or you can listen to Zorro's advice, but then you will have more asphalt.
From Jalalabad you will have asphalt. Big city of Osh is on the way. You can find some off road routes, but it all depends of time you want to spend in Kyrgyzstan...

How "offroad" do you want to get?

I have a whole library of offroad trails between Almaty and Osh starting from the outskirts of Almaty
