Highlights

  • Trek through part of Kyrgyzstan’s mountain scenery – a trekking paradise with over 90% of the country covered by mountains. The Tien Shan Mountain range expands across China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, is often considered the alternative to the famous Swiss Alps
  • See stunning scenery every day – panoramas of alpine lakes, meadows, lush green pastures, fir tree forests and snowcapped mountains, with barely any tourists in sight.
  • Follow the nomad's trail along the way, making encounters with them, learning about their nomadic life and if you are lucky, you'll see some wildlife that call this area home, including golden eagles, mountain goats, deer, foxes and more.
  • Spend your nights away from modern civilisation listening to soothing crackling bonfires, staring into the Milky Way and tucking into peaceful camps in nature.
  • Enjoy the convenience and expertise of a support crew and you can only take your day packs on the trek while everything else from setting up the tents, cooking meals and transporting your luggage to the next stop are taken care of by your local crew.

    The Central Asia tour was extremely enjoyable and included a varied mix of history, old and new cities along the Silk Road, varied nature of canyons, mountains, lakes, deserts, and a mix of city and rural life. Wonderful people. Special thanks to our guides Svetlana and Ejesh. Our drivers, local guiedes and hosts. Thanks you, Intrepid.

    Great experience in two very different countries. The nature in Kyrgyzstan combined with the culture and history of Silk Road in Uzbekistan is a great combo.

    As a die-hard independent traveler, I was skeptical about joining an organized group tour -- but Intrepid's Cambodia Express delivered way more than I expected and made a convert out of me. I loved our guide and the group, and the itinerary was a perfect balance between scheduled sites and free time. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
