Ecotrek Winter Yurt Camp
Snowy days and starry nights!
Feel the beauty of winter in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan with a visit to the Jeti Oguz Valley. Popular year-round for the red cliffs and 'Broken Heart' formation, pushing further up the canyon to the pine-forested slopes of Kok Jaiyk opens up a world of winter wonder. Snowshoe up a 400m slope to panoramic views over Issyk-Kol lake and the surrounding peaks, cross-country ski up the gentle valley track to unrivalled views of 5020m Oguz Bashi Peak, or sit back and relax in our cozy yurt camp to feel the peaceful ambience and quiet of nature.
