Explore the soaring peaks, alpine lakes and rich nomadic culture of Kyrgyzstan on this fully supported journey through the heart of Central Asia.
Beginning in the capital Bishkek, this itinerary weaves cultural discovery with a five-day trek through the dramatic Tian Shan (Celestial) Mountains - where yurts dot green valleys and mountain trails lead to glacial lakes and wildflower meadows.
Along the way, stay in traditional yurt camps, experience nomadic life, and trek over two high passes – Telety (3,800m) and Ala Kol (3,960m) – with stunning views of Karakol Peak (5,216m), the Ala Kol Lake basin and sweeping ridgelines of the Terskei Ala-Too.
Balance your time in the wild with visits to the vivid Skazka Canyon, Soviet-era Bishkek, the petroglyphs of Cholpon-Ata and alpine Issyk-Kul Lake..
Supported by experienced local guides, cooks and porters, this is an opportunity to walk among Central Asia’s most dramatic terrain and meet the people who call it home.
