Description

I propose an exciting 4- day hiking tour through the incredible valleys of Kyrgyzstan. Exploring its mountainous lakes, majestic waterfalls and the thick vegetation that this place has to offer is everything you need for a hiking tour of a lifetime!

For those interested in trekking and camping, every region of Kyrgyzstan offers attractions and challenges.

My invitation is to discover the country’s most beautiful gorges. That´s why we will kickoff our journey from the Barskaun gorge, famous for its waterfalls and its heavily forested slopes. From there, we will march alongside the Barskaun and Djany-Korgon rivers and hike along grassy slopes to afterwards appreciate the stunning view that the Barskoon gorge has to offer.

During the next few days will hike alongside rivers surrounded by high mountains and breathtaking landscapes and, every night after a long day of trekking, we will camp under a starry night. You will find the detailed program below!

The average walking time per day is 5/ 7 hours, including time to eat and relax to admire the scenery. So keep in mind that a good physical condition is required for this trip: we will be trekking in a high mountain environment (often above 4000m). In total, we will hike 43km in 4 days!

So if you are ready for a serious challenge in the Kyrgyzstan alpine lakes, send me a message and I promise an incredible 4-day adventure that you will never forget!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
