This 3-week tour is for people who like to experience the natural environment of Tian-Shan mountains at their own pace. Trekking tours are the best holidays when you have a good physical condition, are capable to cope with unpredictable situations and love nature. In the mountains you walk on "roads" made by nomads and animals centuries ago. You will cross 3 high passes (over 3500m), you will meet herdsmen who live with their family and herd in the alpine meadows during the summer months. This trekking tour is not easy to do but you will look back upon an unforgettable experience.
Walking days are usually between 5 to 8 hours. Our group consists of 4-8 people, 6-12 horses, guides and an interpreter. Our guides take all your luggage, the necessary equipment and food on horseback. During the trekking from Son-Kul to Tuura-Suu you will sleep in small tents, in the yurt camps you will spend the night either in yurts or in tents. You need a sleeping bag, isomat, warm clothes, rain-coat and very comfortable walking shoes.
