Trek planning revision

Route: Know it intimately. Study it on the best and most up to date maps available. Look for possible points of confusion so you are aware as you approach them in the field.

Weather: Know before you go. What's it supposed to be like? And given weather bods are the only people on Earth to get paid for being correct 50 per cent of the time, know what it could be like by studying the region's weather pattern extremes.

If you're carrying satellite technology, check the weather regularly en route. If not, learn the basic signs to look for in the field that tell you what weather is coming at you, meaning, know your cloud types and what they mean.

Food supplies: Unless you're an absolute pro and/or know how to live off the land, food is the one thing you should overpack. You want to know that you have extra rations should you get caught out for an extra day or so.

A rudimentary knowledge of the wild food in the area you are trekking wouldn't hurt either, even if it's just what berries and mushrooms to avoid and what ones are safe to eat.

Water: Never assume that watercourses will be safe to drink from. Always carry some form of water purification.. Allow for extra rations all the time and don't scrimp.

Gear: Have the correct gear for the environment you are trekking through, including the appropriate safety stash for the most likely accidents. Always, always take gear for foul weather.

Communication and safety: Always trek with a personal locator beacon a mobile phone and perhaps a set of small two-way radios in case you need to separate from your party to, say, get water or help.

Contingency plans: Having studied the route, know what your contingency plans are: Where you can get out of the wilderness at various stages en route; where the best evacuation points may be; and make plans (and ensure your entire party knows what those plans are) to deal with potential accidents or eventualities.

Imagine setting off early morning to a place where tourists usually do not go, where nature is still wild and mountain landscapes are breathtaking. Enthousiasts and friendly guides, born and raised here in Tamchi, between the Yssy-Kol lake and the beautiful moutains offer to take you to their countryside, by car or on the back of one of their nice horses for an unforgetable trip. Any of the CBT Guest House in Tamchi could organise that for you, just ask !

В рамках проекта «Бай-Алай» при содействии организации Хельветас, мы провели тренинг полевой кухни для СВТ гидов из Алайского района (СВТ Алай и СВТ Ош). В результате около 15 гидов смогли улучшить свои знание в кулинарии и освоили рецепты приготовления блюд в условиях горной местности из подручных средств. Мы очень благодарим Ассоциации Поваров Кыргызской Республики в лице Председателя Шарипова Шухрат.
Мы всегда будем рады сотрудничать в целях развитие туризма в регионах, а также повышать потенциал местных СВТ групп для привлечения туристов в Кыргызстан из дальнего зарубежья.

Thanks to the project “Bai-Alay” supporting by Swiss organization “Helvetas” we made a cook training for guides from CBT Alay and CBT Osh. Regarding this action, 15 local guides improved their skills to do cooking on the mountains. We will keep doing our best to promote the rural tourism and grow capacity building for our CBT groups. Welcome to Kyrgyzstan!
