Thoroughly enjoyed

This was a thoroughly enjoyable 2 day trip, Manas was our guide and he was excellent throughout, our driver was Aza who we felt extremely safe with, even on the many kms of unmade roads! We had a small group of 7 of us, and it was a lovely mix of people. The overnight stay in the yurt and food provided was exceptional, and the visits to the canyons and waterfalls were breathtaking. The eagle show was an incredible experience. Manas really was extremely knowledgeable and the best host throughout the trip, and despite the rain that we were unfortunate to encounter, it didn't stop us from seeing everything that was on the itinerary, although there was a slight change to the canyon visited on the first day due to inaccessibility. Horse riding was thoroughly enjoyable, and we would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to explore some of the beautiful landscape that Kyrgyzstan has to offer.

Book this trip!

Absolutely amazing 2 days exploring Kyrgyzstan’s beautiful landscapes and Issyk Kul lake. Our guide, Manas, was absolutely fabulous as was our driver Aza. They both made the trip even that much better and couldn’t have asked for a better tour. Felt like traveling with friends, with all the benefits of a guide. The company is also very well organised, super communicative and everything was just as smooth as can be. Thanks all for an amazing time!!!

A cost-effective journey

A cost-effective journey. The guide miga was conscientious, handed out a fridge sticker to each person when we met, invited us for lunch on the way (not included in the itinerary), took us to attractions and at the end of the journey took us each to our own hotel, a very attentive and thoughtful guide.

The tour guide is great!...

The tour guide is great! Faruk is very easy to talk to and cracks a lot of jokes. It makes the activity fun and the long drives pass quickly
