Kyrgyzstan is incredible. In a few years it will be the next popular place to visit with your camera. From the hidden gem Tulpar Kul to the red gorge of Konorcheck Canyon to the colorful markets of Bishkek Bazaar...this is the trip of a lifetime.
This undiscovered paradise lies deep within Central Asia, at the start of the Himalaya mountain range. Its landscapes are often compared to a combination of Switzerland, Iceland, Mars, and Peru - with its high mountain ranges, relatively untouched nature, and highland pasture scattered with traditional nomadic yurts.
Kyrgyzstan has lived a long tradition of nomadic history, and is only just waking up to a world of visitors, which gives us a lot of opportunity for candid experiences. Their culture sustains warm gestures of hospitality, openness and kindness to strangers. Being invited for tea in a yurt is a pleasure you can expect on a daily basis! Their landscapes invite a thousand different opportunities to work on your photography and videography skills - from portraiture, to ever changing landscapes, to shooting the milky way with incredible clarity. While not being so strong on a diversity of food, the summers provide good nourishment through colorful, tasty fruits and vegetables, together with some pretty meaty traditional dishes (vegetarian and lactose-free still being an option).
This week-long journey, lived from our sturdy 4x4’s, rustic guesthouses and beautifully situated yurt camps will show you the true wilderness that Kyrgyzstan still holds - one of the few countries in the world where you can literally be taken back in time.
