All Kyrgyzstan Tours & Excursions in 2026

I had an excellent experience on this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bishkek. The tour was very well organized from start to finish. The meeting instructions were clear, our guide Анвар arrived right on time, and we departed promptly at 8:00 a.m. We were a small group of only three people, which made the experience much more enjoyable and personal. The scenery in Ala Archa National Park was absolutely stunning. The mountains, river, and fresh mountain air made for a fantastic day, and we were lucky to have beautiful weather as well. The hike was easy to moderate and took about two hours in total, including the optional extension to the bridge. I really appreciated that Анвар gave us the flexibility to decide whether we wanted to continue hiking or turn back, rather than following a rigid schedule. Анвар spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. Throughout the day he shared interesting information about the history of the national park, Kyrgyz culture, and local traditions, including the Kyrgyz tradition of burning archa (juniper) and using the smoke for spiritual cleansing and protection. He also explained how the name Ala Archa is connected to this important plant. These details added a lot to the experience beyond just the beautiful scenery. Everything was relaxed, and we never felt rushed. In fact, Анвар regularly offered to take photos for us so we could enjoy the views without worrying about selfies. The transport arrangements between different parts of the park were smoothly organized, and the related costs were already included in the tour. Overall, this was one of the highlights of my time in Kyrgyzstan. If you're visiting Bishkek and enjoy nature, beautiful mountain scenery, and a well-organized small-group experience with an excellent guide, I can't recommend this tour highly enough.

This is an excellent tour that you should not miss if you would like to visit the beautiful Burana Tower, Kok-Moinok Canyons, and Issyk Kul Lake. My guide, Meerim, was outstanding. She used her knowledge of international relations to provide insightful explanations about the culture, history, and geopolitics of Kyrgyzstan. She also helped me take beautiful photos and kindly sent them to me afterward. The tour also included a nice lunch and a relaxing afternoon tea break by the lakeside, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

It was an amazing trip and I enjoyed it a lot. Sleeping in a yurt is a never forgetting experience, the horse riding was also super nice. (It was my first time horse riding) Orozaly is a great guide who’s an amazing driver and very patient and helpful. I’d definitely recommend this trip to everybody who wants to visit Son-Kul.
