There’s a special kind of silence in the mountains — one that hums with freedom. In the heart of the Tien Shan, where the snow glows blue under the winter sun and peaks stretch beyond imagination, each turn of your skis becomes a conversation with nature itself.

This ski-touring journey takes you deep into Kyrgyzstan’s wild Karkyra Valley for eight days, far from crowded slopes and ski lifts. Explore the untouched gorges of Chaarquduk, Tyup, Tuz, and Uch-Kashka — each revealing its own rhythm of ascent and descent, challenge and calm. Between adventures, unwind in the comfort of heated yurts, share laughter by the fire, and gaze at stars that seem close enough to touch.

Guided by experienced locals and surrounded by the endless white of the Tien Shan, you’ll rediscover what it means to move freely — to breathe, glide, and live in harmony with the mountains. Join us, and let Kyrgyzstan’s wilderness remind you how alive winter can feel!

We are a fully licensed private tour company located in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyz Republic (Kyrgyzstan). We have been working in the tourism market of Kyrgyzstan since 1998 and won the reward of “The best tour company” at Kyrgyz Tourism Awards several times for the last 4 years. In fact, all those features that Kyrgyzstan offers to the regular curious tourist appeared as a combination of the different things such as nomadic life style, breath-taking views, incredible unspoiled nature, ancient monuments, tasty cuisine and famous hospitality of people of the Central Asia. We combined all this in our sufficiently advanced programs that we hope will continue attract attention of tourists to this untouched by the “massive tourism” place.
