Thursday 1st – Saturday 10th August 2019: Kyrgyzstan
Trekking is different from other sorts of travel. Trekking gives travelers an up-close view of incredible scenery. It often allows them to interact with nature, doing anything from climbing a rock, passing across a mountain or entire mountain range.
We’ll meet real nomads who have preserved their traditions and carried them through the centuries of the history of Central Asia. We’ll try to learn some traditional food recipes and we’ll ride with gentle horses for long paths.
