Nomad's Land Connect People and Nature with Kyrgyz Nomad Trail

• Assist in exploration, mapping and marking new sections of the trail by leveraging your experience in sustainable tourism development.

From the outset, Nomad's Land has contributed to KNT by sharing its information and local knowledge. Now a lot of work remains to be done to mark the way.

• Identify local communities along the trail and inform them about the project KNT
• Organize training programs for local guides and hosts to improve hospitality standards, safety, and storytelling skills.
• Help local businesses and communities along the trail develop services that align with ecotourism principles, such as eco-lodges, food services, and transport options.
• Ensure that a fair share of the economic benefits goes to local stakeholders by promoting responsible business practices.

In the Jeti Oguz region, training courses for local guides have been organised for several years. Both basic and more specific training courses, particularly on risk, help to raise the standard of local guides.

• Act as an partner for the Kyrgyz Nomad Trail by promoting it through your existing marketing channels, tour packages, and partnerships.
• Integrate KNT-based itineraries into Nomad’s Land’s tailor-made adventure programs, combining trekking with cultural immersion.
• Showcase the trail as a leading example of responsible and community-based tourism in Central Asia through articles, documentaries, and media collaborations.

Our Destination Development Manager works closely with the project and shares our database.

• Advocate for and implement Leave No Trace principles along the trail.
• Support ecological and conservation initiatives in collaboration with local and international sustainability organizations.
• Monitor the environmental impact of tourism along the trail and propose solutions for minimizing carbon footprints.

Our training courses for DMOs include topics on the environment, waste management and ‘eating local’.

• Help KNT gain international recognition by connecting it with global hiking networks, sustainability initiatives, and ecotourism certifications.
• Work with local authorities, NGOs, and tourism boards to ensure proper governance and long-term sustainability of the trail.

Getting together and speaking a common language is the basis of our approaches to local authorities and associations.
