Asian Patagonia Trekking Tour

Asian Patagonia Trekking Tour

This trekking program is created for those, who want to see the amazing nature of Kyrgyzstan. It goes in the Pamir mountain system through various landscapes. We'll trek along the gorges Turkestan mountain range and to the heart of Pamir-Alai mountain system. Region of Turkestan mountain range reminds of South American Patagonia - same wilderness, winds blowing through, mountain streams with pure water, alpine meadows, herds of yaks grazing peacefully, glaciers surrounded with 5000+ meters high peaks and there is not a sign of civilisation... There is a difference though - stable and warm weather.
