Kristin
Asked on May 12th, 2025Are all meals included? Also, how much is the Single Supplement on this trip? And, are hiking boots a good idea? Is thermal underwear needed for high elevations at this time of year? Are there any long hikes to any particular place, over 1-2 hours?
Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written May 2025All breakfasts, one lunch, and two dinners are included in the trip. The single supplement is an additional USD$1,268.00. September/October can be cooler in Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan but more pleasant in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. For late September, it can be particularly cold at Son Kul. We do recommend bringing thermal underwear. Trainers (sneakers) or walking shoes/boots are fine. There are some hikes, particularly in Kyrgyzstan. These are not challenging and can vary depending on the preferences and abilities of the group.
