Kyrgyzstan & the Tian Shan Mountains

On a moderate to challenging trek physical activity will generally not exceed eight hours in a day, and travellers should be comfortable with occasional rough terrain. At any stage of a moderate and challenging trek you can expect long steep climbs and descents and a wide range of weather conditions. An example of an average day on trek could include several ascents and descents of 500 metres or more; level ground is rare in the mountains. Suggested preparation: One hour of strenuous exercise, four times a week, interspersed with a relatively demanding bushwalk or long distance cycle depending on the activity you plan to undertake. To prepare for your trek you should begin training at least three months before your departure. Trekking: Hill walking with a 5-7kg daypack is also highly recommended at least once a week for leg strengthening and aerobic fitness. The best exercise for trekking is bushwalking involving relatively steep ascents and descents. Hill walking with a 7kg pack in variable weather conditions is a must. Multi day walks are ideal preparation for our trekking adventures. If you can manage a couple of valley floor to ridgeline ascents per bushwalk, albeit with stops along the way, you know you can cope with a moderate to challenging graded trek. Speed is not important; stamina, confidence and rhythm are. Specialist gear required include walking boots and day pack (a comprehensive gear list is provided in the pre-departure information provided on booking).,
