Itinerary
Our guide and driver will pick you up early from your hotel in Bishkek and drive you to Ala-Archa National Park, just 40 km away. Within an hour, you'll be immersed in the stunning scenery of Ala-Archa, with its rushing mountain river, towering snowy peaks, and juniper-covered slopes leading to alpine meadows bursting with flowers.
Accompanied by your personal guide, you'll spend around 2 hours at Ala Archa National Park, choosing from two tailored experiences. Opt for a leisurely walk along the river on a paved path to a stunning panoramic viewpoint, where you can feed squirrels, watch birds, and capture beautiful photos. Alternatively, for a bit more adventure, your guide can lead you on a trail to the "Broken Heart Stone," where you're rewarded with breathtaking views of the entire park. Your guide will be on hand to enhance your experience, providing insights and assistance as you explore. Afterward, we'll continue our journey to Chunkurchak Gorge.
Discover Chunkurchak Gorge with a visit to the stunning Pigeon Waterfall, including the Sky Bridge crossing and a scenic cable car ride. Continue to Supara Chunkurchak Resort for lunch at the famous Supara Restaurant (lunch not included in the price), where you can order freely and get recommendations from our guides. Optional activities such as horseback riding, archery, and ziplining await before we return to Bishkek, enriched by Kyrgyzstan’s natural beauty and adventures.
After a day filled with natural wonders and outdoor activities, we'll make our way back to Bishkek.

The tour was amazing! Incredibly beautiful scenery and a very knowledgeable guide! I didn't know which one to choose, Ala Archa or Chunkurchak, so I chose both and really happy that I did it this way. Both locations are spectacular. I rode horses in Chunkurchak which is really a must! I was a little short on time as I was arriving to Kyrgyzstan early morning that day after an 18 hour flight, but the tour company and the guide were extremely accommodating and targeted itinerary for my needs, which allowed me to do and to see everything that I wanted
We spent one full day to Ala Archa National Park & Chunkurchak with Datka Travel. Everything goes well, we enjoy the organized trip by them and we love the scenery. The guide is good and serve us well. We recommend this Datka Travel to other, they also help us when we met some problem here. We are from Indonesian and Datka Travel also provide Letter of Invitation if your passport need LOI when apply evisa. We wish we will come here again next.
Anyway, it was a great time! The guide was kind to us, even though we don't speak much English. It’s a private tour, so it’s good to be able to choose what we want to do on the spot! Lunch was also delicious! Thank you very much.
This was one of the best day trips we’ve ever done. The scenery in Chunkurchak and Ala Archa National Park is absolutely breathtaking – mountains and endless views. Our guide was fantastic: very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about nature. We really appreciated the interesting explanations, the relaxed pace, and the great atmosphere throughout the day. A wonderful experience – thank you, Datka Travel!
Great tour! Adelbek was a great guide too! I particularly recommend hiking to the broken heart in ala archa national Park.. it takes maybe an hour up and half an hour down so it not that difficult but quite beautiful. If people have a hard time climbing then can also just walk along the river trail for an hour or something which is quite nice too..If possible I also recommend waking up early to get the first bus at the national park parking lot around 8am to go to the hiking trail as cars are not allowed inside the national park and it will not be crowded like later in the day and there is a higher chance of seeing wildlife as I saw a herd of ibex right along the traiI ..I also can recommend the kashka suu chairlift ride nearby for more great views.. It was open 11am to 4pm the day I was there so worked perfectly to do the broken heart hike first.. For people who did not do city tour of Bishkek yet I would recommend doing the national Park in the morning and then city tour in the afternoon for a great full day tour skipping Chunkurchak which is nice but not really necessary if doing the national park..
I really liked that this company is the only one offering both locations in one tour, so it felt like something special and well thought out. The guide was super nice, shared lots of interesting info, and kept everything easy and fun. We started our day at Ala Archa National Park, and it was just stunning — fresh mountain air and lush nature all around. We also hiked up to the Broken Heart Rock to take in the breathtaking views. After that, we headed to Chunkurchak Gorge, which felt peaceful and less crowded, with beautiful open landscapes. We even did a short ride on the zipline, followed by a lovely late lunch at Supara restaurant, sampling local delicacies. A perfect day trip from Bishkek if you want to experience the best of Kyrgyzstan’s nature in one go!
We were as a group in Septembar for a couple of days in Bishkek. We entrusted all our activities to Datka Travel, from the organizacione of transport from and to the airport, to Two one-day excursions. I recommend that agency, they are incredibly well organized. New vehicle, friendly driver and quides. Rating 10/10
A very well planned and excellent one day trip overall. Highly recommended the horseriding experience at Ala Archa. Farukh is an excellent guide who always takes the initiative to help us take photos and videos. We could always stop at places for the duration we wanted and explored the places at our own place. What came as a surprise was that Farukh brought us around to a few mosques around bishkek city at the end of the trip (which were all beyond the planned itinerary of the tour).
The tourist agreed opportunity to see a beautiful forest and scenery, as well as historical sites. Very glad we went.
We couldn't have asked for more. Gorgeous scenery. Sumptuous lunch at Supara. Baiaman was a wonderful guide. Always patient and with those nuggets of information that made our day trip that bit more interesting.
