Tatosh is a guide friend with a passion for her country and hiking, who together with two local guides, Mirza and Nurbek, created this trek. They understand that, even though the country is still not very touristy, some travellers are looking for more confidential treks in the middle of nature.
SaryChelek is perfect for this, as it's a magnificentnatural park but not at all touristy.
This is the ideal trek to be immersed in nature while being accompanied by local, experienced and competent guides.
Major advantage: this trek is really unknown to tourism. I did it in July 2019 and in 5 days we only met 2 hikers.
With my phone, I managed to make this video of our adventure:
