Description

Itinerary:  Osh-Ozgorush village – Ak-Suu Gorge- Ortochashma gorge- Kara Suu Gorge –  Ak-Suu Valley –Egiz-Jar -Ak-Tatyr village-Osh

 

The nature of Kyrgyzstan is amazing. Its mountain landscapes are various in different corners of the Republic.  «Central Asia Tours» presents a new trekking program that goes along the gorges of the Turkestan mountain range and takes you to the heart of the Pamir-Alai mountain system, right to peak Ak-Suu. The Turkestan mountain range region is quite interesting and unusual. It reminds South American Patagonia – the same wilderness, winds blowing through, mountain streams with pure water, alpine meadows, herds of yaks grazing peacefully, glaciers surrounded with 5000+ meters Peaks and not a sign of civilization… 

Still, there is one significant advantage of Asian mountains from the South American analog –stable and warm weather. The mountain trails go above the steeps, wild nature, panoramic views of the canyons crowned by snow-white peaks and treks to the foot of peak Piramidalnyi (5509m), which is the highest point of the Turkestan range, peak Ak-Suu (5355m), Slesova (4240m) – all these will leave an unforgettable impression on everybody!!!
