This small-group tour with G Adventures threads through Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, mixing natural wonders and cultural encounters over 11 nights. The itinerary spans the canyons of Skazka and Charyn, where unusual rock formations invite more than a passing glance. The Singing Dunes near Kazakhstan's desert pack a curious resonance beneath visitor's steps.
Journeys
Village life features prominently, with an overnight stay in Saty village and a home-cooked Dungan lunch in Iskra Village providing a window onto daily traditions. There’s also a chance to learn yurt construction from nomadic craftsmen. Urban interludes occur in Bishkek and Almaty, where historic streets contrast with the raw landscapes of the region.
Travel by private vehicle, walking, and 4x4 blends with simple accommodation including hostels, guesthouses, and yurt camps. The pace allows time for meandering and adjustment to altitude changes. Meals are a mix of included and independent, and the group size is capped at 18.
