Uzgarysh is a typical Kyrgyz mountain village with established centuries-old lifestyle. The country folk are amicable and hospitable. The majority of the local villagers are engaged in animal husbandry, tobacco cultivation and flour milling at small watermills. Gardening, too, is a great help for the locals. Apricot is the most common fruit-tree. The fruit is extremely sweet but not big enough to satisfy you appetite after first bite. It’s amazing, but due to unique climatic conditions, you can taste the ripe apricot right from the fruit-tree even in mid-August. In addition to being eaten fresh it is often dried up for wintertime. Dried apricot, called kuraga, is really finger-licking good.

Now we drive into the village and stay over in the guesthouse or tent camp. From the village we’ll continue our journey accompanied by horse drivers and their graceful quiet horses which can help us carry the loads throughout the whole journey.

Day 3. Laily-Mazar River Valley, confluence with the Uryam River (10 km).
Travel time: 6–7 hours; altitude difference: +600 m.
In the first half of the day we walk through apple and apricot groves. Towards noon, the valley we travel along narrows into a gorge, and the path crosses the narrow valley of the Layli-Mazar river towards its confluence with the Uryam river.
Meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Overnight in a tent (1800 m).

The morning sun hasn’t yet beamed down on the valley gardens but in the camp the life is already in full swing. The substantial breakfast leaves no chance for loosing weight.

After short preparations we set up for our first day of trekking. Soon enough the vain thoughts start to flash across your mind that you should have been training for the trek instead of wasting time. But the farther you go this is interrupted by more cheerful thoughts, like “ My goodness! Can it be real? Isn’t it a dream? How beautiful it is here!”.

Now, approaching Laily-Mazar canyon and becoming more and more enchanted by the surrounding landscapes we reach the right tributary of the river. They say, in the upper reaches of the river every spring there blooms up a virtually extinct flower “Aigul” which according to a popular legend can be found only here and in one or two canyons in Batkent region. The symbolic image of this flower can be traced in many Kyrgyz ornaments. So if you happen to encounter this peculiar “distinctive feature” of Kyrgyztan, you will easily recognize it.

Step by step, marching along the mountain path, we reach the locality intended for the camp. The camp site is chosen in a really picturesque setting, next to a mountain stream whose murmur will serve you a sweet lullaby.

Day 4. Uryam River Valley (8 km).
Travel time: 6–7 hours; altitude difference: +1100 m.
As we turn into the Uryam valley, we pass through alpine rangelands and across wooded slopes. After we climb a steep and leave behind a narrow section of the gorge, we find ourselves in an upper valley, very picturesque and spacious.
Meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Overnight in a tent (2900 m).
Day 5. Radial hiking to the upper reaches of the Uryam River (7 km).
Travel time: 5–6 hours; altitude difference: +400, - 400 m.

Meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Overnight in a tent.

This scenic place dispose to relaxation and there is nothing shameful in your wish to just lounge on the grass or to loaf around. The most active, though, are invited to make a short hiking along the river meandering amongst the ancient moraines, and en route to marvel at the views of snow-topped peaks, a succession of lush meadows and juniper groves which remind Japanese gardens carefully groomed by a gardener. This is the land of pastures and now and then we encounter the herdsmen’s camps. A good opportunity for us to meet the local people, spend some time in their company and enjoying a cup of tea and a friendly chat to appreciate their well-known hospitality.

Day 6. Uryam Pass (3760 м) – Ak-Mechet River Valley (8 km).
Travel time: 6–7 hours; altitude difference: +860 m, -950 m.
Passage across Uryam Pass (3760m) is one of the most spectacular moments of the route. An easy path and splendid scenes accompany us throughout the day.
From the mountain pass we obtain a view of Parus Peak (5037 m) and the top of Sabakh Peak (5283 m). As we descend from the pass, we set a camp, from which we can enjoy the sight of the grandiose north face of Aksu Peak (5355 m).
Meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Overnight in a tent (2800 m).

Today’s goal is to ascend Uryam pass. Though in height it’s inferior to the previous pass it is no less spectacular. Approaching the pass once again we can see Parus peak, this time towering behind us, with a bladelike Sabakh peak emerging from behind it on the left. As we proceed further we can delight in observing the majestic views of the valley where the Ak Suu and Kara Suu rivers interflow into the wide, rapid Ak-Mechet river. And then, just in front of us, there comes into sight one more range crowned with glaciers. It separates Aksu peak region from Karavshin region. The cone-shaped snow-capped Aksu peak (5355m), which to the north drops off in almost vertical two-kilometre-deep rock precipice, attracts the mountaineers from all over the world. The majestic view of this natural amphitheatre is accentuated by imposing crecent-shaped Iskander peak (51220m), Admiralteyets peak(5090m) Petrogradets peak (5163m) and Blok Peak (5239m).

The descent is rather comfortable and soon we reach our campsite. It is arranged at the height of 2800 m, where you can feel the warmth of the summer air and smell the rich coniferous fragrance of the juniper wood. Sunset is the best time for picture-perfect views of Aksu peak.

Day 7. Radial hiking to the foot of Aksu peak (8 km).
Travel time: 5 hours; altitude difference: +500, -500 m.
Hiking to the foot of the Aksu (5355 m) north face is the culmination of the entire tour. This pyramidal peak with a snow cap has the north face that drops vertically for almost 2 km.
The grandiose cirque is decorated with the following peaks – two-headed Iskander (5120 m), Admiralteyets (5090 m), Petrogradets (5163 m) and Blok (5239 m).
Meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Overnight in a tent (2800 m).

Today we’ll trek to the glacier that lies under the tops of several peaks - Blok, Aksu, Admiralteyets, Petrogradets and Iskander. Today hardly anyone would prefer idling in the camp to trekking to a spectacular destination. Though the glacier itself is hidden under the moraine and there will be only few occasions to feel its ice-cold breath through the sole of your trekking boots, the view that awaits us at the end is worth the effort. After several hours trekking you will find yourself standing in front of a 2-km-high Black wall of Aksu peak that seems to rise up from out of nowhere and to tower above you with all its might.

We’ll have the lunch at the Aksu river which springs from the glacier sliding from under Blok peak. Being among these eternal towering rocks fills you with a sense of belonging to macrocosm.

We’ll come back to the campsite by sunset and the fantastic images of the day will stay in your memory for long.

Day 8. Descent along Ak-Mechet River Valley to Uzgarysh (14 km).
Travel time: 7 hours; altitude difference: -1600 m.
Alternating green meadows and juniper forests, crystal streams and sky-high summits are the main components of the tour’s last day, when we descend along the Ak-Mechet river valley. At the Uzgarysh village we have a farewell dinner seasoned with oriental hospitality.
Meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Overnight at a guest house (1200 m).

Today you will experience a relaxing stroll down the river. The juniper woods all around fill the air with coniferous fragrance and lift your spirits. The trail runs through alpine grassland dotted with flowers of every colour. And suddenly realizing that this is your last trekking day, you try to imprint in your memory, as well as to capture on your cameras, the stunningly beautiful surroundings. Who knows when there will be another chance to delight in the world of wilderness. Meanwhile we approach the river’s outfall and enter the Laily-Mazar valley. Our circuit closes up in Uzgarysh village where our trekking programme is completed with a celebration dinner. Today you can give vent to your appetite and eat your fill, since so many delicious dishes were prepared by our cook, and then to relax and share wine and laughter with new-found friends while recollecting every day of the adventurous journe.
