About This Tour

A 15-day trekking-led journey through Kyrgyzstan — a four-day horse-supported trek to Kol-Kogur Lake, a three-day trek to the glacial Ala-Kul Lake and Altyn-Arashan hot springs, Jety-Oguz Valley, eagle-hunting near Skazka Canyon, and a nomad yurt camp on Son-Kul Lake. Voyzo runs this route as a fully private tour — your own vehicle, driver, and trekking guides throughout, rather than the group transfers the source itinerary is normally booked with.
