Hiking 100km Across the Heights of Alay Mountains in Kyrgyzstan

In this cinematic trekking video, we hike the Heights of Alay Mountains in Kyrgyzstan, which is considered by many as the best hiking in Kyrgyzstan, as well as a few other small hikes including Travelers Pass at Lenin Peak on the Tajikistan Border. The entire adventure took place in September of 2023 and took us 14 days with 6 days of travel (we had flight problems). #kyrgyzstan #hiking #trekking 👍 Please like and subscribe if you enjoyed it!
