Je me permets de vous solliciter afin d'avoir votre avis sur un petit trek dans le Tian Shan proposé par une agence ((Lien supprimé par l'administration de VoyageForum) pour ceux qui ont peut-être déjà utilisé leurs services???).
Certains d'entre vous connaissent-ils bien la région et est-ce que ça en vaut le détour? On m'a également proposé une ballade dans les Monts Nourata (Eski-Forish-Asraf-Okhum-Hayat...), en avez vous déjà entendu parlé?
Merci pour votre temps et vos précieux avis.
