REISEPROFIL
Wir sind jeden Tag draussen. In der Unterkunft trennt uns ein bisschen Filz und Holz von der umliegenden Natur. Schlafsack & Iso-Matte benötigt, Nächte können kalt werden, aber ansonsten sind die Jurten gemütlich und geheizt.
Mittlerer Komfort. Geräumige Jurten, geheizt mit Holzofen, und sibirischer Sauna nebenbei. Einfache Toilette (Plumpsklo), fliessend (eiskaltes) Wasser am Fluss, warmes Wasser vom Ofen. Total 4 Nächte im Jurtencamp. Die restliche Zeit einfache Gasthäuser.
Die Intensität der Tourentage kann den Wünschen der Gruppe angepasst werden. Durchschnittliche Tage beinhalten ca 800 bis 1200 Höhenmeter, für alle die möchten liegt auch eine Extrarunde meist noch drin.
Keine besonderen technischen Schwierigkeiten. Eine sichere Aufstiegstechnik inkl. Spitzkehren werden vorausgesetzt. Gute Abfahrtstechnik schadet bei schwierige Schneebedingungen nicht, auch wenn die Topographie meist Abfahrtsrouten ohne ausgeprägte Schwierigkeiten ermöglicht.

WAS DICH ERWARTET
Kyrgyz hospitality is overwhelming. And the crew of our yurt base camp ensures that even our stay in a remote valley becomes an unforgettable experience. Up there, life is simple yet comfortable and cozy.
Each day we choose a tour among plenty of options around the plateau a bit higher up the valley. And for those inclined to scout uncovered terrain, there are also still many opportunities.
Besides dedicating our time to enjoying the snow in the mountains, we get to experience the mix of Central Asian nomadic traditions and Sowjet culture: browsing the bazar, tasting local food, sleeping in yurts, and enjoying banja (Russian style sauna) and not to forget, riding horses.
An evening/night in the capital Bishkek ensures a conclusion of the trip that could not be richer in contrast to the remaining time.
This special edition is created by women for women. Our tunduk guide Anne will take you together with our Kazach mountain guide Darya into this adventure. They both love snow, nature, horses and can’t wait to take you on this adventure.
To all men who are interested in the program described below: contact us! We are more then happy to have you on board on another trip.

KOST & LOGIE
Unterkunft
We sleep mostly in simple guesthouses. 4 nights we will spend in our Yurt camp. One yurt in our camp is the kitchen/living room for the whole group, while sleep in another yurt with wooden podiums above ground for sleeping. A well insulating mattress and a sleeping bag rated down to -10°C is still recommended to keep it cozy and warm in your bag even on the colder days (for cold sleepers -15°C or an additional liner etc.). But don't worry, it will only get cold inside during the night. The remaining time a wood stove provides plenty of heat for us but also for our equipment to properly dry before the next day starts.
The guesthouses we use are more homestay than hostel in many cases, intentionally. It allows us to be close to people's life and support them directly. With many of them we already maintain friendship over many years.
Verpflegung
Food in Kyrgyzstan is very diverse, and once again rich in contrast. On one hand there are dairy products like salty cheese creations and the world famous Kymyz (fermented horse milk), or also the traditional round breads, all originating from the nomadic culture of the Kyrgyz. On the other hand there is a blend of food choices that developed at the interface of food cuisine from the Turkish, Usbek, Uigur, and of course the Russians. There is literally something for everyone. In case of allergies or food preferences we appreciate early communication so that we can advise and find solutions.
