No, you don’t need to bring tents or cooking gear – we provide all communal camping equipment on our organized treks.
Our trekking tours typically include tents, sleeping pads, cooking stove, and utensils when camping is required. Many of our treks in Kyrgyzstan use established yurt camps or homestays each night, so you may not camp every night – but when we do camp, we handle all the gear. You will need to bring your own clothing and personal items, as well as a sleeping bag (you can rent one from us if you prefer). Essentially, you should pack as if you’re backpacking (clothes, boots, etc.), and we’ll take care of the rest: setting up tents, preparing meals, etc. If you have favorite personal gear (like a special lightweight sleeping pad or camp pillow), you’re welcome to bring it, but it’s not necessary. This full support means even if you’re not an experienced camper, you can enjoy nights under the stars without worrying about the logistics.
