Morning light spills across the Karagoi pasture as a small convoy eases away from Osh, the road folding into foothills and the air sharpening with altitude. After roughly two hours on a quiet highway, the group disembarks at a simple base camp for a snack and a short briefing; from there the trail climbs into mixed forest and broken rock, opening periodically onto broad views of the Karagoi valley.
