This expedition will wake you up to high-altitude trekking, as you explore the isolated peaks, wild-flower meadows and unique landscape of Kyrgyzstan.

Taking part in exploration, science and media projects – you’ll work together on a high-altitude adventure, exploring dramatic ridge lines, lush valleys and meeting the nomadic Kyrgyz herders who are kindly hosting our basecamp in their pastures. As night falls, you will cook dinner and reflect around a campfire, exchanging stories of spotting wildlife such as golden eagles and ibex – and maybe even the elusive snow leopard.

While the expedition and training week are free of charge, we do ask all participants to fundraise £1,250 – £5,500, dependent on household income.
