Description
Embark on an 9–10 day journey along the ancient trails of the Silk Road with documentary journalist and traveler Adilet Bektursunov!
This combined tour—featuring hiking and off-road jeep adventures—unveils five mesmerizing lakes of Kyrgyzstan, nestled among the snow-capped peaks of the Tian Shan mountains. From the turquoise waters of Issyk-Kul to the enigmatic lakes near the Chinese border, you’ll experience the magic of these UNESCO-recognized sites.
Immerse yourself in the nomadic way of life: spend nights in authentic yurts under a starlit sky, ride horses across boundless meadows, and connect with locals. With Adilet, you’re not just a tourist—you’re the protagonist of your own documentary saga.
