5-Day Nomad Trail: Song-Köl, Issyk-Köl & Altyn-Arashan

Genel bakış

Five days is the sweet spot for seeing the two faces of Kyrgyzstan — the high nomad pastures and the great lake — without rushing. You ride into Song-Köl for a yurt night at 3,000 metres, cross to Lake Issyk-Köl, and finish in the Altyn-Arashan valley, soaking in wild hot springs beneath the Tian Shan. It blends driving, riding and gentle walking, with nights split between yurts, a guesthouse and a mountain camp. We run it in small groups with guides we know, include every meal and fee, and shape the pace around you. It is the trip most travellers wish they had booked.
