Tour Details

The land of celestial mountains

More than 90% of Kyrgyzstan is mountains, and its summer pastures still belong to nomadic herders who move their flocks — and their yurts — up to the high valleys every year.

On this tour you will sleep in a yurt camp at 3,000 m, ride horses with local herders, hike in the red-rock canyons of Jeti-Oguz and swim in the warm waters of Lake Issyk-Kul.
