Chong-Kemin
One of the best itineraries.
Access from Almaty by car to the middle part or
by car and feet over a pass to upper river. Excellent
WW class 4-5 for the whole length; beautiful scenery
with pine tree forests.
Chilik
Almost the same as above, but going in opposite
direction.
Naryn
Very good option. Access by road from Bishkek.
Two rivers: Small and Big Naryns which form Naryn,
are both very good kayaking/rafting itineraries
having nice gorges with class 4-5 rapids. Naryn
itself is a huge volume river with one distinctive
canyon in lower part with powerful big water rapids.
I have been to Small Naryn in late October –
it was a lot of fun.
Keke-Meren
Class 4-5 tributary to Naryn. People say it is
good.
Sary-Jaz
Could be a very interesting expedition, but it
flows to China, so either you will have border
problems, or you will have to leave the river
by feet from a deep valley with carrying all your
stuff over a high pass. Someone who I know here
in Moscow organized already 3 expeditions on catarafts,
running every time more and more rapids in deep
canyons of lower Sary-Jaz. The river is very big
and dangerous, and still appeals for a first run.
Cost
includes all Guide, Accommodation, Transport and
Food cost during the Expedition time.
