This new expedition takes place in Kyrgystan’s Sary Chelek Reserve situated in the Arkit Gorge, a relatively small mountain hollow in the Chaktal Mountains. Founded in 1959 to protect and research the pristine natural landscape this magnificent region consists of steep-sided, wooded valleys, aquamarine lakes, glaciers and permanent ice fields, and alpine meadows - with varied flora and fauna. More than 1,000 species of plants, 160 species of birds and 34 species of mammal (such as Bear, Lynx, Wolf, Porcupine and even Snow Leopard) can be found in this relatively small, unspoilt national park.
