About this trip
Twelve days across Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, moving through mountain towns and lake country rather than sticking to one region. This is a private, fully guided trip, so the pace and focus can flex around your group.
You'll travel from Bishkek out to Karakol and the Jety Oguz valley, down to Tamga and Sonkul, then across the border to Almaty and Kolday lake. It's a route built around landscape and open country more than cities.
Suited to families or small groups who want a guided adventure without figuring out logistics themselves, with plenty of time outdoors and in the mountains.
