Description

Also known as the Eolian Castles, the Konorchek Canyons are located a 136 km from the capital city of the country, Bishkek, in Boom Gorge.This beautiful area is a great destination  all year round to enjoy a one-day hiking trip!

We will start at 8 am and drive about 2 hours to the Train bridge in Boom Gorge, where we live our car. Then we will trek up along a small and charming river called Kurganterek where we will discover a narrow gorge with confluent stream. Hiking through a narrow labyrinth of rocky walls with several easy-scrambling parts will make you feel like a true explorer!

After 1,5 hours of hiking we will arrive to a spectacular wide-open area with Eolian castles ahead. As a result of thousand of year of wind erosion, nature has given us the opportunity to enjoy this amazing landscape of canyons, where their quaint walls resemble the ruins of ancient castles.

In this magical place time seems to stop and participants will be transported to another planet where time flows quite differently. After a beautiful lunch in a great panoramic spot we will have time to take pictures and enjoy the surrounding views.

During this one-day guided hiking tour you will discover the unique nature of Kyrgyzstan. So if you are ready for this adventure in the Konorchek Canyons, request to book this trip and join me on this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
