WHAT YOU CAN PHOTOGRAPH

This expedition takes you deep into the remote high-altitude landscapes of the Tian Shan Mountains, where we search for some of Central Asia’s most iconic and elusive wildlife.

Depending on weather conditions and wildlife activity, you may have the opportunity to photograph Snow Leopards, Vultures, Marco Polo Sheep, Siberian Ibex, sometimes Wolves, Eagles, and Lynx.

We work with experienced local guides and use proven, ethical tracking methods to maximize your chances of remarkable wildlife encounters while respecting the animals and their natural environment.

We cannot guarantee wildlife sightings, but our experienced team, local guides and proven tracking methods are designed to give you the highest possible chance of successful wildlife encounters and exceptional photographs.
RECOMMENDED PHOTOGRAPHY GEAR

For wildlife photography, we recommend a telephoto lens of 400mm or longer, including 200–600mm, 180–600mm, 150–600mm, 400mm, 500mm, 600mm or 800mm lenses, depending on your camera system. A 2x teleconverter is also recommended for extra reach.

Wildlife is often observed from a considerable distance, typically around 500–1,000 meters, so a long focal length is essential for getting detailed photographs without disturbing the animals.

We also recommend bringing a sturdy tripod or monopod, extra batteries and sufficient memory cards.

If you are unsure which lens or camera setup to bring, feel free to contact us before the expedition. We will be happy to advise you based on your camera system and photography goals.

PRIVATE & CUSTOM DATES

This wildlife photography expedition can also be organized privately and individually on any date that is convenient for you.

Whether you are traveling alone, with a partner, or with a private group of photographers, we can customize the expedition around your preferred dates, photography goals and requirements.

Our goal is not simply to take you into the mountains, but to give you the best possible opportunity to experience and photograph Kyrgyzstan’s incredible wildlife in its natural environment.
