Jailoo tourism. Interesting, isn't it?
This is a relative recent type of tourism that has taken shape in Kyrgyzstan. It is what you will learn about if you choose this scenario.
In the scenario, you will see several natural treasures of the Almaty region in Kazakhstan - the places where your tour will start on the first day and end on the sixth.
No more megacities, modern technology and people rushing around all the time! Lakes, canyons, gorges - a real solitude with majestic and beautiful nature.
The main feature of this type of extreme tourism is an opportunity to practically be in the place of nomads, learning their culture and life.
So what are you going to do?
The trip is a kind of "ring" on which you will travel by car, visiting different points. Having a car will help you get around the country a lot faster, as the locations of each other are not so few.
