Nomad’s Land Featured in NatGeo: Explore the Epic Kyrgyz Nomad Trail

Submitted by Samuel on
Description

Adventure awaits—and National Geographic just spotlighted the Kyrgyz Nomad Trail (KNT), the longest hiking route in Central Asia (1,243 miles and counting!), with Nomad’s Land named as a trusted ecotourism partner.

Dive into the full story here: "This is the longest hiking trail in Central Asia—here’s what to know before you try it"

Why This Matters

The KNT isn’t just a trail; it’s a transformative journey through Kyrgyzstan’s wildest landscapes—from the shimmering Ala-Köl lake to the ancient Silk Road caravanserai of Tash Rabat. By summer 2025, it’ll grow by another 621 miles, unlocking remote valleys like the Arpa and the soaring Pamir ranges.

As a KNT partner, we’re proud to:

  • Design sustainable hikes that support local shepherds and mountain communities.
  • Offer exclusive access to hidden gems (think: the Engilchek Glacier, the world’s 6th longest non-polar ice river!).
  • Prioritize safety—the trail is carefully routed away from conflict zones, with recent border agreements reopening stunning routes near Batken.

Hiking here is a real and serious challenge. Be respectful, hike responsibly, think sustainable, and create positive impact.
— Yuval Yellin, KNT Co-Creator
