Pamir's rocky realm (TKG 01)
The itinerary: Bishkek - Batken - Uzgarish - Ak-Su Wall - Uryam Pass - Layli–Mazar Valley - Sabakh Pass - Uzgarish - Batken - Bishkek - Issyk-Kul Lake - Bishkek
Non-complicated trekking program runs in one of the most beautiful regions of Pamir-Alay, the region of the famous Aksu Peak. Sheer vertical kilometer-long rocky walls, vast snow-covered glaciers, crystal clear emerald-green rivers, ever-blue sun-lit skies, numerous well-trodden paths combined with virginity of landscapes – all these make the region very attractive for tourists and mountaineers alike.
The trek gives an opportunity to feel the nature, enjoy the views of wonderful mountain peaks and valleys drawn in juniper forests, test traditional hospitality of Kyrgyz shepherds sharing with them a cup of Kyrgyz tea or "Kymyz" (fermented mare’s milk) in the yurt.
The best time for trekking: July, August, the beginning of September.
