8 Days The Hidden South of Kyrgyzstan

Clothing and Practical Tips

For this tour, you will need light and comfortable clothing, as most parts of the route pass through warm mountain valleys. However, early mornings and evenings can be a bit chilly, especially in higher areas.

We recommend bringing:

  • several sets of light everyday clothes,
  • one warm jacket and pants for cooler weather and a pair of good trekking

From June to September, the weather is generally warm, but it’s always good to have some extra layers for comfort.

In almost every overnight location, there are small local shops, where you can buy snacks, drinks, or other small items you may need.

It’s a good idea to carry some cash in local currency (KGS), as card payments are usually not available in remote mountain areas.
