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

According to the decision of the Republican Special Commission, from June 10, 2022, temporary restrictions related to the coronavirus will be lifted on entering Uzbekistan by air, border stations and border checkpoints.

In this regard, the rules requiring foreign tourists to provide a negative PCR test result for coronavirus, a rapid test for coronavirus antigens and a vaccination certificate or passport are canceled.

The commission took into account the dynamics of the spread of the coronavirus in Uzbekistan, the number of hospitalized and discharged patients, a positive development in the number of citizens quarantined, as well as the epidemiological situation in the country, WHO recommendations and the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Heritage.

In order to restore tourist flows with foreign countries as soon as possible, according to the decision of the Republican Commission, from March 16, 2022 in Uzbekistan:

* If you have passports/vaccination certificates for coronavirus infection, all persons are allowed to enter without PCR tests. In case of not having passports/ vaccination certificates, a person must have negative PCR test (with an electronic QR code), for a period of no more than 72 hours, or go to express tests when crossing the border or upon arrival on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

* All restrictions on the free passage of citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan and citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan through all land checkpoints on the border of the Republic of Uzbekistan with the Republic of Kazakhstan are lifted;

* Temporary restrictions for crossing the checkpoints on the border of the Republic of Uzbekistan with the Republic of Tajikistan are lifted. Measures are being taken to reopen all border crossing points.

The system of issuing electronic visas (E – VISA) for foreign citizens is also being resumed.
