Adventure Central Asia
We are expanding our radius in Central Asia. Indian summer in Kazakhstan! In contrast to its neighbouring country Kyrgyzstan, 90% of Kazakhstan is made up of barren steppe. In the remaining 10%, however, we have good opportunities to pursue our sport and explore another country from the air.
Paragliding has a long history in Kazakhstan and the few launch sites are used regularly and are perfectly maintained. Here too, depending on your spirit of adventure, there is always the possibility of exploring new territory.
Our journey starts from the bustling metropolis of Almaty, which lies directly at the foot of the 5000-meter peaks, with a view from the city center of the eternally snow-capped mountains behind it. Right there, we will also unpack our glider for the first time.
Are you open and adventurous, can you appreciate the contrast between rich metropolises and very simple country life? If you are interested in the motherland of the apple, want to experience Russian banya culture up close and take advantage of the still good thermal autumn conditions, then start with us in southeast Kazakhstan. This trip can also be ideally combined with the previous Kyrgyzstan trip.
Central Asia, rich in contrast and pure!
