Trekking around Osh

Country forums / Central Asia / Kyrgyzstan

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has experience trekking in the Osh/Alay area? We are planning on going mid-September - any ideas what temperatures will be like in the mountains at that time? Trying to decide what sort of sleeping bag will be necessary... Also, we are thinking of organising something with CBT Osh - they have a number of treks on their sites - but prices aren't clear... We're hoping to trek for ~5 days - can anyone offer a rough guide of how much that's likely to cost? And more generally, how did people find trekking in that area? Unfortunately we don't have time to make the trip all they way to Karakol which I know is great for treks (we're heading into Kyrgystan overland from Tashkent)so thought this would be a good compromise...

Cheers :)

The intro section to Kyrgystan in the Central Asia LP has some sample prices that you could consult.
