Best of Song Kul and Issyk Kul Lakes in 4 Days

Amazing 3-day/ 2-night tour around Song-Kul and Issyk-Kul lakes. Thr tour was well organized, the guides were amazing and the experience will always be remembered.

Bek was a great guide for this amazing tour. He was always helpful. Can totally recommend this tour with this tour company.

The experience was great. I explained that I wanted to have my own customized itinerary. Datka travel took time to take the places I was interested to visit into consideration and carefully created a customized travel itinerary for me. The tour guides were great too and spoke good English. They had a lot of knowledge about the country and the places we visited. Overall, a great experience and I would highly recommend Datka Travel.

Simply one of the best experiences of my life! Song Kul was absolutely beautiful. Nomads didn't build permanent structures and the scenery was unobstructed and magnificent. Our guide was very careful to make sure we were safe and had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyrgyzstan!

Datka is a fantastic tour agency that made my this trip, from horseback riding at Song Kul Lake and on top a mountain overlooking the jaw-dropping view of Issyk Kul Lake, to sailing and swimming in the crystal blue waters of Issyk Kul, to seeing history at Burana Tower, to mountain hiking in the enchantingly beautiful Barskoon, to an eagle and archery show, to swimming in a natural spring and spa, to even sleeping in yurts at Song Kul and Issyk Kul! There are many tour agencies out there but let me explain the factors that made this Datka particularly valuable to me: Solo traveler - I wanted to do a multi-day tour in the countryside but as an independent traveler, many tour agencies will only accommodate group reservations or extremely pricey private tours for the solo traveler. However, I wanted to enjoy the beauty of the countryside in Kyrgyzstan without breaking the bank. Fortunately, I emailed the company and its owner Talgat responded to me immediately that even as an individual, I could join a pre-existing tour group. This was the major selling point for me as it allowed me to take advantage of a tour while paying a much more reasonable price. So if you are a solo traveler and you’re looking to do a tour of Kyrgyzstan and you want to save some cash by joining a group, definitely reach out to Datka as they will work hard to fit you in another group tour. Responsiveness - I reached out to a bunch of other tour agencies in the region and was surprised how many of them would not respond or would only respond very shortly and was very minimal information that was ultimately unhelpful. By contrast, Talgat at Datka was extremely responsive, which was another major selling point for me. He actually cares about the business and the client and he answered all of my (surely annoying!) questions both very promptly and very thoroughly. This guy knows how to run a business. Tour guides - all of Datka’s tour guides I had as well as the others I interacted with were phenomenal, and all them spoke amazing English. The tour guides would quickly send you a message in the morning when they were approaching your hotel for pick up, they would give you tons of information on whatever you were seeing, and they made the overall experience unforgettable. I know there are a lot of options out there for tour agencies but believe me, you cannot go wrong with Datka and I cannot recommend them highly enough to make your time in Kyrgyzstan perfect.

Nice trip. The arrangement is good. Quick response to my queries. My guide, Asa is very good, telling me a lot about the country and arranged the trip well. May needa consider adjusting the itinery if needa catch a early flight on the last day.
