About this trip
Fifteen days through Kyrgyzstan's mountains and lake country, starting and ending in Bishkek, built around trekking rather than sightseeing from a bus window.
You cover proper distance on foot through dramatic, remote terrain, swim in Lake Issyk-Kul and spend a night in a yurt on the shores of Lake Song-Kol, staying with local communities along the way rather than in hotels.
It's a trip for people who want wilderness and a slower pace, with the physical trekking as the main event rather than an add-on.
