Duration: 8 Days

You will travel through Kyrgyzstan from the North to the
South in the Naryn oblast and cross 6 passes on the way. Generally, the road is
good but in some places it is hard to move. It will be possible to see a lot of
landscapes of different climatic zones: green valleys, fir forests, alpine
meadows, snow, fast rivers and lakes of pure water.
As a part of this wonderful wild nature you will get a chance to live in a yurta
and watch a traditional nomad's life. During the whole tour you will be served
by people who are being supported by the Development Company.
All accommodation during the tour is in a comfortable hotel, bed and breakfast
or yurtas (Kyrgyz nomadic felt tent).
