Get ready for an exceptional journey to Kyrgyzstan, the pearl of Central Asia. This country, land of snow leopards and the majestic Ibn Sina peak, reveals the splendor of nature in its most dazzling forms. The adventure begins with the Ala-Archa park, a true natural sanctuary where dense forests, crystal clear rivers and breathtaking landscapes blend to offer a harmonious symphony of serenity and beauty. Then, we go to the Achik-Tash base camp, where the beauty of natural landscapes intertwines with the authenticity of mountain life. This stage allows a deep immersion in Kyrgyz nature and culture. We will then climb the summit of Yukhina, nestled in the heart of the Tian Shan mountains. Here, clouds dance around the towering peaks, creating a spectacular scene, each step on this route telling stories of bygone eras and opening doors to a world of inspiration and raw beauty. The second part of the journey takes us to Osh, a city fascinating for its history and markets brimming with local flavours and crafts, before continuing to Bishkek, the vibrant capital, where modernity and tradition meet.
