wildflower trips run for 12 days and always start on a monday and end the following friday (so you can get back where you need to over the weekend). our group trips are for up to 12 people: come on your own, with a friend, or in a group!
in 2027, i am running two trips: the immersive trail and the adventure trail. click on each trip to see the full itinerary.
my trips run from may - september, which caters for wildflower season, peak season, and snowy season. in each month, you see a different side of kyrgyzstan! this means you can come in your summer holidays, your university holidays, or whenever you can get time off!
you hike to kel-suu, a lake wedged between cliffs with no road in. you trek the ala-kul pass at 3,956m. it's the hardest day and the one people talk about afterwards. you spend days on horseback through high pastures, sleeping in yurts at song-kul lake. you meet a falconer from issyk-kul whose family has hunted with eagles for generations.
temirlan and baya are your guides on the ground. both kyrgyz, both guiding these mountains for ten years. i (jack) have built the trips and walked every route before i published it. i’m on some departures and not others, and i’ll tell you which before you book.
twelve nights, from the moment you land in bishkek. accomodation, every meal, transport, permits, horses and your guides. we don’t do international flights, visas, travel insurance and tips.
