Silent Hiking 80 km in the Alay Mountains of Kyrgyzstan

- 4 days and 81 km trekking in the Alay mountains in the south of Kyrgyzstan.
This trek was completed from June 28 - July 1. This trek is generally recommended for July-August, but the CBT office in Osh had informed me that some trekkers had already completed the trek before I arrived, and that I should expect some snow. While I did encounter some snow, it was barely an issue on this trek.

Which month did you visit Alay. The mountains look amazing 😍
Thanks! I did this at the end of June.
Hi David. I found your videos while researching hikes around Kyrgyzstan. I see your choice of footwear are ultra raptor ii gtx mids? How do you find them? I'm looking for advice regarding what shoes to wear in such environments. Thanks.
Hello, yes those are Ultra Raptors. They are easy to find here in USA, although I don't know about other regions.
What kind of hikes do you plan on doing?
If I'm doing day hikes or carrying a light pack, I much prefer a lightweight pair of trail runners. They're usually more comfortable, and they will dry faster when they inevitably get wet.
However, if I'm on a longer trek with a heavy pack, I find that it's easier to keep my feet in good condition with a slightly heavier pair of boots.
Hope this is helpful!
@@davidfancsali Thanks for the reply. I would plan on doing similar multi-day hikes. My pack is around 30lbs all in.
So far, in colder climates, I've been using trail runners as well but I wonder if having a slightly sturdier footwear would help me keep my feet drier and in a better shape during those 10h long hikes in mountainous terrain.
I've tried out some Salomon dedicated lightweight hiking shoes and boots and they seem to have a thinner midsole than my trail runners resulting in too much feedback from uneven terrain (thus, I agree that trail runners are more comfortable in a lot of scenarios). Now I'm looking into ultra raptors and wonder if I should get the low non-gtx version or the mid version which for some reason only comes with gtx. I like the idea of mids for protecting the feet from debris and all that but not sure if that gtx membrane does more bad than good in the long-term. How do you find the gtx version? Did your feet suffer from too much sweat? I know that the temperature can fluctuate quite a lot in such alpine environments so it's quite a difficult decision to make. Cheers.
@@mantasskackauskas5014 Personally, I don't have a problem with my feet being too hot, and the mids do protect my feet better.
Having said that, the terrain in Kyrgyzstan is not particularly rough and you might be fine with the low version if that's your preference.
When is Tajikistan ?
Tomorrow:)
