Kazakhstan & Kyrgyzstan Winter Group Trip with Travel Content
Creator Jennifer Hong (@munmunich)

Once-in-a-Lifetime Winter Adventure
Discover a different side of Central Asia this winter! From the snow
covered mountains of Kazakhstan to the stunning alpine landscapes of
Kyrgyzstan, experience a winter journey filled with breathtaking scenery,
local culture and unforgettable adventures. Join Jennifer Hong, a
Singapore-based solo traveller and content creator, who first explored Kyrgyzstan during her 114-day overland journey from Singapore to Kazakhstan in 2025, travelling across seven countries without flying.
Having spent a total of nearly seven weeks exploring Kyrgyzstan, Jennifer
knows that the best travel experiences often lie beyond the usual
tourist trail.

This winter, she's teaming up with Dream Valley Destination to bring
you along!

Explore Almaty, discover the dramatic Charyn Canyon, experience the
winter magic of Issyk-Kul, meet local communities and enjoy the mountain
landscapes of Kyrgyzstan. With the itinerary, transport, accommodation and local arrangements organised by Dream Valley Destination, you can enjoy the adventure without the stress of planning everything yourself.
After the amazing response to Jennifer's previous Central Asia journey,
we're excited to bring you another opportunity to explore this incredible
region together!
