Packrafting — Expeditions

Multi-day self-supported packrafting expeditions in Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia.

Upcoming Adventures

Packrafting opens terrain that has no other reasonable access. The rivers and meltwater corridors of Central Asia cut through gorges, across steppe, and between mountain ranges that would take days to reach on foot — on the water, you move through landscapes that most travellers never see.

Tunduk packrafting trips are multi-day self-supported expeditions with exploration at the centre. Rapids can be encountered, not sought — we scout everything, move conservatively, and treat the river as a route rather than a challenge. The packraft is a tool. The terrain it unlocks is the reason.

SU is the Turkic word for water in motion — rivers finding their way through the mountain systems of Central Asia. We use it because it describes exactly what these journeys follow.

Who Is This For

tunduk packrafting expeditions (SU) suit people without or basic packrafting or paddling experience who are drawn to rivers as corridors into remote terrain rather than as technical whitewater challenges. The more important qualification is the expedition mindset — comfort with multi-day self-sufficiency, genuine remoteness, and plans that adapt to conditions.

If you’re looking for grade IV whitewater, these are not your trips. If you’re looking for a way into landscapes that have no road and no crowd (or no people at all), they might be exactly right.

Rivers as access

The rivers of Central Asia drain vast mountain systems and flow through terrain that is genuinely difficult to reach any other way. A packraft turns a barrier into a route — opening valleys, gorges, and landscapes that most travellers never see.

Self-supported and remote

These are not guided day trips with a support vehicle waiting downstream. You carry what you need, move at the pace the river allows, and camp where the terrain offers space. The remoteness is the point — plan accordingly.

Meltwater season

Peak season follows snowmelt — typically May through August depending on elevation and the winter snowpack. Rivers run high and fast in early season, slower and more technical later. We time departures around conditions, not fixed calendars.
