Car tour
|
Duration: 15 Days
Season: June - August
You will cross three oblasts of Kyrgyzstan: Naryn, Issyk-Kul and Jalal-Abad. Generally, the road is good but in fields it is sometimes hard to move. You will visit all the projects being run by three Swiss organisations: Swiss Development Corporation (SDC), Intercooperation (IC) and Helvetas (<h>) and their partners and clients. Also you will get a chance to see Issyk-Kul Lake, a lot of landscapes of different climatic zones and fast mountain rivers. During the whole tour, you will be served by people who are being supported by our Company. As well as enjoying all the wild natural beauty, you will get a chance to live in a yurta (Kyrgyz nomadic felt tent) and watch traditional nomadic life and discover more about the Kyrgyz people.
