Blue lanes in the north, intricate medinas, a road south towards the dunes, and Marrakech beyond the mountains: this journey brings several very different Moroccos into one holiday. Its twelve days make room for full days in Chefchaouen and Fes as well as the distances between them.
A city welcome, evenings at yurt camps and a route through lakes and mountain valleys give this women-only journey its changing rhythm. It is a ten-day trip from Bishkek back to Bishkek, with a small group of 6–12 travellers.

High in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, at 3,016 metres above sea level, Song-Kul Lake feels like another world. There are no towns here. No paved roads circling the shoreline. No permanent settlements.
