Kyrgyzstan / 27 July - 6 August
THE YAK CUP
Round up a couple of mates and take on the Yak Cup!
Between July and August, about 15 teams will embark on an adventure through Kyrgyzstan's rugged heart, each commandeering a rusty Soviet relic of a 4X4 Lada.
What's in store? A cheeky smack from the towering Celestial mountains, a dance with danger along remote dirt tracks, and a chilly dip in forgotten lakes. And as if that wasn’t enough, add mingling with elusive nomad tribes and dodging the local traffic jams of wandering Yaks.
10 DAYS OF TAKING ON EVERYTHING KYRGYZSTAN & THE SILK ROAD CAN THROW AT YOU AND YOUR GLORIFIED 4X4
THE VEHICLE
Meet the Lada 4x4, the "Siberian Knight" of the auto world! This quirky chariot may look simple, but it's a beast where it counts.
The Lada 4x4 is a minimalist's haven on wheels, a testament to the times when driving was pure and unadulterated by modern distractions. The interior, a capsule of nostalgia, offers Spartan luxury, reminiscent of a bygone era when vehicles were the backdrop of memorable conversations and the open road was the destination.
YOU'RE NOT JUST JOINING AN ADVENTURE; YOU'RE CLAIMING A CHANCE TO SEIZE GLORY AND SNATCH THE LEGENDARY YAK CUP
