Full description
It is car and walking trip through the South of Kyrgyzstan. You will discover the corners of amazing Kyrgyzstan, untouched nature - the trekking part of the program passes away from tourist trails! Travel - it's car travel to different areas, radial hikes and not only this, with a comfortable (relatively) accommodation, food and quality service - all inclusive.
The program is suitable for any healthy person. We flexibly approach the proposed loads and transitions.
You will get acquainted with the unique nature of the region, visit three climatic zones: semi desert, temperate and snow belt. Our trekking will pass through the Pamir-Alai and it will start from the village of Kojo-Kelen (Great Khoja), where there are fabulous orange-red rocks - the Red Mountains and the Blue Grotto. Make a pedestrian crossing over the Jiptik Pass (4185m), along the way you will get to know the nomadic way of life of the Kyrgyz people. At the top of the pass is a stunning panorama of the Pamir and the famous peak of Lenin (7134m).
