Hi travellers

I can't decide between a trip to Pakistan in May and June for 42 days and a trip to Tajikistan and Kyrgyszstan at the same time for about 50 days (starting with Tajikistan so I can leave Kyrgyszstan where I understand is colder for June).

I'm mostly interested in nature and culture. I'm aware that both Pakistan and Kyrgysztan have amazingly beautiful valley and mountain trekking and I would love to do some of that. I will eventually visit all 3 but question is which to coose for next May and June cause I don't know when I will be able to travel to the rest.

Will this be a better time for Pakistan perhaps and still cold to trek in Kyrgyzstan at this time? I really want to see the valleys and treks when they are at their greenest cause I have seen beautiful pics such as 'Fairy Meadows' and Khagan Valley in Pakistan when they are very green. Will this be the perfect timing for these places?

Also, I have trekked in various countries before such as Nepal, Laos, Chile, Argentina and Papua so I can say I'm a bit experienced but I'm not the hard core type :-) and try to avoid slippery terrain or places that are too muddy as I don't feel comfy trekking in such places.

One last thing, do I need a minimum of 2 weeks to see the most beautiful treks in Kyrgyszstan and Pakistan or are there treks that are very beautiful that need less trekking time such as 10 days.

Thanks for your help and advice

you can enjoy in June in Pakistan as it it best time to visit mountainous route there But if you want to cross Pakistan through boarder than there is not boarder sharing between these countries .you have to than cross china also as if u first arrive in Pakistan and trek kaghan valley than u can go trekking Karakorum to china there are Pamirs mountain with shortest route of kashgar you can enter Kyrgyzstan so as you can trek all but land route is open in July.however if you use air travel than that can be as u wished.
