      Highest altitude reached on this tour is 3016 meters above sea level. The ascent is taken slow and not rushed. Altitude sickness can happen usually someone will feel it around 6 to 12 hours of arrival at altitude. The group stays overnight in a Yurt on the day you go up. It is rare for someone to feel ill. The tour leader will have first aid and will assit anyone who feels sick. They do not carry Oxygen bottles. These bottles can be purchased prior to the ascent if you feel like it might be needed.

    Gregory

    Asked on May 31st, 2024

    Is it possible to take a tour in Kyrgyzstan with this group (16) of people? I would like the highlights such as sleeping in a yurt, a horse walk, eagle hunting, nice, not too long walks in nature and the fairy rock formation, staying at some lakes... so that it is also very varied for the children and not too tiring. We can travel for a maximum of 9 days and I would like the budget to be between 1000 and 1200 euros P.P. given the additional costs. -Can you make a proposal, please? Thank you -The trip is planned for the summer of 2025

      Traveler•Written June 2024

      Hello Patrick, hello Jasmijn. 1) My most important question is: can we do this trip with al the members of my familie? A baby of 8 months and 2 grandparents of 75 and 77 years old. 2) I was surprised that the price of this tour now is rising with almost 80 euro p.p. I hope You will make me a better offer.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2024

      Although we can operate this as a private adventure, the age requirements are still the same as a public trips in that the minimum age we will accept is 12 years old for this trip. This is a strict policy we must adhere too.

    • G

      Gregory

      Traveler•Written June 2024

      Is there any trip we can make with the whole familie? What do you recommend? And at almost the same price?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2024

      As mentioned below the minimium is 12 on this trip abd we do not offer any Family Tours to this region. Our Family Tours also have a minimum age requirement of 7 or 9 years old so we definitely can not book an 8 month old.
