Ala-Kul Pass trek

ADVANCEDRisk: MODERATEUSD Guided 3-day trek US$15…

A demanding 3-4 day loop over a 3,860m pass to a startling turquoise glacial lake, crossing scree fields and a genuinely steep, loose final ascent — one of the most popular serious treks in the country, but still remote enough that weather and altitude both matter.

High-Altitude Trekking · Naryn Region

Song-Köl high-altitude horse trek

ADVANCEDRisk: MODERATEUSD 5-day guided trek US$45…

Multi-day horse treks across open alpine steppe to a 3,000m glacial lake, sleeping in traditional yurts with nomadic herding families along the way — genuinely remote, with no roads for long stretches and weather that turns from summer sun to snow flurries within hours even in July.
