Welcome to the land of **soaring peaks, crystal-clear alpine lakes,** and the real deal of nomadic lifestyle. With **mountains dominating over 90% of the country's terrain**, the Tien Shan range stands as a home to an immersive nature experience like no other. Here, the Peak Victory towers at a staggering 7,439 m, amidst a landscape adorned with magnificent **rock formations, thermal springs, serene lakes and valleys**. Your inner nomad will immediately break free! The nomadic lifestyle in Kyrgyzstan is deeply rooted in the country's history and culture, dating back centuries. Despite the ongoing urbanization, many Kyrgyz still embrace the elements, preserving traditional practices and passing down ancestral knowledge to future generations. It fosters a strong sense of community and interconnectedness among Kyrgyz families, who often gather for seasonal migrations, celebrations, and cultural events. Situated at the crossroads of Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan holds geopolitical significance due to its strategic location and political dynamics. The country has a complex relationship with its Soviet past. Especially in the capital city Bishkek you will notice how Socialist realism, the dominant artistic style in the Soviet Union, left its mark on art and public spaces: Mosaics, murals, and sculptures depicting themes of socialist ideology, industrial progress, and heroic figures can be found throughout the city. However, on this trekkup weekender **prepare to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city** life and reconnect with the raw, untamed beauty of the Kyrgyz landscape. With each moment, we will discover a sense of freedom and a connection to the earth beneath our feet. Get ready to breathe in the crisp mountain air, soak in the panoramic views, and create memories that will last a lifetime. **Can you hear the Kyrgyz mountains calling your name?** [https://vimeo.com/365047665](https://vimeo.com/365047665) [https://vimeo.com/217086818](https://vimeo.com/217086818) **Let's go!** **Day 0 // Friday** Departure.
