Then the route moves to Kyrgyzstan — a completely different side of Central Asia. Here, the journey becomes more natural, open and nomadic: mountains, gorges, yurt villages, horse riding, eagle hunting, felt traditions, canyons and the blue waters of Issyk-Kul Lake.
The tour ends in Kazakhstan, in Almaty — a modern, green and dynamic city surrounded by mountains. Here, travelers experience city life, oriental bazaars, panoramic viewpoints and the atmosphere of the largest metropolis in the region.
In 12 days, this route shows three faces of Central Asia: ancient cities, nomadic mountains and modern urban culture.
