Let’s Talk

Kyrgyzstan has in recent years become one of the world's most renowned hiking destinations. This is in part due to the beauty of the Pamir and Tien Shan mountains, but also the unique pastoral culture and hospitable nature of the Kyrgyz people.

A 5 day hike up into the mountains, carrying only day packs, sleeping in comfortable tents erected for you and passing through spectacular scenery.

For some well-earned R&R, we repair to a yurt camp by a gorgeous lake, high in the mountains, where we can swim and relax.
