Kajack: Kayak School and Trips

Kayak Expedition Trip to Kyrgyzstan with Two Blades Adventures - 2 weeks - September 16-30, 2026

This is not a simple kayaking holiday: it is a real expedition through Central Asia, among the Tian Shan mountains, remote rivers, endless steppes, alpine passes and nights under the stars.
Welcome to Kyrgyzstan—the wild heart of Asia.

Adventure Concept

A two-week trip that combines:

• long transfers in 4×4 between plateaus, canyons and nomadic villages

• wild camping, yurt camps and local hospitality

• a 2–3 day self-supported kayak multiday trip along the Naryn, sleeping on the river banks.

It is a perfect mix of expedition, extreme wilderness and Central Asian culture .
