Is this trip right for you?
verified
This is a trekking trip. You'll need to be an experienced hiker and have a good level of fitness to enjoy this trip. Most trails are established trails with some sections a little steep and slippery, but nothing technical. Please refer to day to day itinerary for details about the trekking distances and elevation gains.
verified
You'll spend majority of your time in the mountains, so the temperature can get chilly, even in summer. Waterproof light weight jacket and sturdy hiking boots are essential.
verified
The overnight stays on the trek will be mostly in yurt camps and tents. Yurt camps will be multi-share and the tents will be set up by your crew (you are always welcome to help) and will be twin share. The conditions will be basic, with toilet tents set up separately and limited shower availability. We'll provide thin sleeping mats for the tent but you can also bring inflatable sleeping mattress for a little more sleeping comfort.

This trip doesn't spend a lot of time in Bishkek. If you would like to spend more time in Bishkek before or after your trip, please consult your booking agent about booking additional accommodation.
