Kyrgyzstan – mountainous country located in the middle of Asia. There is a rich diversity of plant and animal life, picturesque mountain lakes and rivers, mountain peaks covered with perpetual snow and unique middle Asian colour. The pearl of Kyrgyzstan is mountain lake Issyk Kul.
But the country is famous not just because of nature - warm hospitality of local people makes homely atmosphere and the journey across the vastness of this wonderful country becomes especially pleasant.
During the tour we will see two waterways of Kyrgyzstan – the rivers Chong-Kemin and Kekemeren with its powerful breathtaking unforgettable rapids. These are two different rivers – a wide valley of the Kekemeren and narrow canyon Nedostupny on the M. Naryna with walls up to 80 meters high. We will take a rest on the banks of picturesque lake Issyk Kul, and will go through steep passes, visit bazars (east market) and much much more.
