Gemstone Hunting Expeditions

The trails presented on this page are aimed at collecting samples of minerals in the Kyrgyz Republic. All of the collected samples may be transported out of the country.

Each of our expeditions is accompanied by a geology expert, interpreter and a cook.

Moving along the trail:
- At the travelers’ preference excursions could be restricted to day-trips or include camping (overnights in tents).
- All of the gear necessary for the trip is included in the price of the tour.
- Transportation by car is secured to the closest point (base camp) on the way to the collection site.
- We usually hike from base camps, but horses can also be arranged for.
- We treat our guests with hot meals twice a day.

All of the collected samples can be cut, polished or decorated at a request of our client for additional pay. Our company takes care of all necessary permits and papers to allow free shipment of the collected samples outside of the country.

We are looking for trail-blazers to organize custom expeditions geared towards specific requests of thematic collectors. We have all the necessary licenses.
