What to expect

Trekking in Kyrgyzstan means wide valleys, glacier lakes and passes above 3,500 m, often without meeting another group for days. Our trekking tours start with easy daily hikes and go up to an 18-day trek to the Inylchek glacier under Khan-Tengri.
Many routes start from Karakol in the Terskey Ala-Too: Ala-Kol lake, the Altyn-Arashan hot springs, Jeti-Oguz and the long traverse from Barskoon. Others cross the Kyrgyz range near Bishkek, follow the lakes of the northern Tien Shan, or reach Kol-Tor, Konorchek canyon and the Sary-Chelek reserve.
Treks are guided by local mountain guides, with camping gear and meals arranged for you; on some routes horses carry the luggage. Each tour page shows the difficulty, the daily walking times and the best months, usually June to September.

FAQ

Trekking: common questions

How much does a trekking tour in Kyrgyzstan cost?

Prices range from $510 to $1,720 per person, depending on the tour, its length and the size of your group: the bigger the group, the lower the price per person. Every tour page lists the exact price for each group size, and sending a request is free.

How long is a trekking tour?

We run 18 trekking tours, from 5 to 18 days long. Every route can be shortened, extended or combined with another one.

When is the best time for trekking tours in Kyrgyzstan?

Most of these tours run in June, July, August, and September, when the mountain passes are open and the yurt camps are up. Each tour page shows its own best months.

Can I join a group or travel privately?

Both. You can join an open group departure and share the cost with other travellers, propose your own dates for others to join, or book any tour as a private trip on the dates that suit you.
