Begin in the vibrant capital, Bishkek, then journey into the tranquil Chong Kemin Valley, a haven of lush landscapes and serene beauty. Rejuvenate in the steaming alpine waters of Altyn Arashan, and trek to the mesmerizing turquoise expanse of Ala-Kul Lake, a true high-mountain jewel. Explore the rich cultural tapestry of Karakol, marvel at the dramatic scarlet cliffs of Jeti Oguz Gorge, and wander through the whimsical formations of Fairy Tale Canyon.

Ascend to the breathtaking heights of Song Kul Lake, where rolling meadows, nomadic yurt camps, and the rhythm of traditional life create a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

This tour fuses jaw-dropping mountain vistas, crystalline alpine lakes, and authentic nomadic heritage—perfect for travelers seeking adventure, cultural immersion, and memories that will last forever.

Itinerary

Arriving in Bishkek, our Kyrgyzstan tour begins with a city exploration, including Ala-Too Square, Oak Park, and the bustling Osh Bazaar. Next, we visit the historic Burana Tower, a remnant of the Silk Road surrounded by ancient ruins and stone carvings. In the afternoon, we drive through scenic landscapes to reach Chong Kemin Valley. Experience local hospitality with a traditional dinner and spend the night in a comfortable guesthouse.

We travel towards Issyk-Kul Lake, the “Pearl of Kyrgyzstan,” stopping first at the lush Kyrchyn Valley. Known for its nomadic festivals and equestrian traditions, this valley offers an authentic glimpse into local culture. Continuing along the northern shore of Issyk-Kul, we explore cultural and historical landmarks before arriving in Karakol. Highlights include the wooden Russian Orthodox Church and the ornate Dungan Mosque. Overnight in Karakol.

Our Kyrgyzstan tour continues with an off-road excursion into Altyn Arashan Valley, where alpine meadows meet snow-capped peaks. Guests can soak in the natural hot springs, surrounded by breathtaking scenery, before returning to Karakol for the night.

Today, we embark on a horse trek through the mountains to the legendary Ala-Kul Lake, a turquoise jewel encircled by dramatic peaks. After enjoying the spectacular views, we descend and return to Karakol via off-road vehicle for another night.

We explore the red cliffs of Jeti Oguz Gorge, famous for the “Seven Bulls” and “Broken Heart” formations. Next, we visit Barskoon Waterfall, one of Kyrgyzstan’s most scenic cascades, followed by the vibrant Fairy Tale (Skazka) Canyon, celebrated for its unique rock formations. Our night is spent in a traditional yurt camp on the southern shore of Issyk-Kul Lake.

Traveling through high mountain passes, we reach the serene Song Kul Lake. Here, nomadic herders tend to their livestock during summer months. Guests can experience traditional yurt life and enjoy optional horseback riding across the open pastures, immersing themselves in Kyrgyzstan’s nomadic culture.

After breakfast, we return to Bishkek, passing through stunning landscapes. Stop for souvenirs or local delicacies along the way. The tour concludes with a farewell dinner featuring traditional Kyrgyz music and dance, ending a memorable 7-day Kyrgyzstan tour.

I had such a fun private tour with Kyrgyz Trip! The places we visited were absolutely beautiful, and I loved how we made spontaneous stops along the way. It really helped us experience more of the local Kyrgyz vibe. The car was super comfortable, and Aibek was incredibly helpful the entire time. We relied on him a lot, and it honestly felt like traveling with a friend rather than going on a tour.

I’m already talking with Aibek about my next trip to Kyrgyzstan, which shows how happy I was with everything.

For Indonesians—don’t think twice, just choose this trip to explore Kyrgyzstan!

We had an amazing 4-day tour in Kyrgyzstan with Kyrgyz Trip. It was a perfect mix of nature, culture, and warm hospitality. The scenery was stunning and full of local charm. Aibek, our guide, made the experience even better — super friendly, helpful, and full of local insights. Everything felt relaxed and personal. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore this stunning country!

We recently completed an unforgettable 9-day journey through Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, and we cannot thank Kyrgyz Trip enough for the impeccable planning, seamless logistics, and heartfelt hospitality throughout our adventure.

From the outset, communication with the company was clear and efficient. They crafted a thoughtfully paced itinerary that balanced natural wonders, cultural immersion, and local experiences across both countries. Every destination felt curated, and the itinerary gave us a truly rich and varied understanding of Central Asia.

• Charyn Canyon & Black Canyon: Our trip began with a scenic drive from Almaty to Saty, with a stop at the dramatic Charyn Canyon. The guide gave us time to explore the striking rock formations and explained the geological and cultural significance of the site.

• Kaindy Lake: The sunken forest of Kaindy Lake was a surreal sight, and we were grateful for the guidance through the trails and photo-worthy spots.

• Kolsay Lakes Trek: The hike from Lower to Middle Kolsay Lake was well-paced and absolutely stunning. The trek was challenging in parts but manageable and worth every step for the serene mountain lake views.

• Karakol & Cultural Sites: After crossing the border, we appreciated the effort to include cultural heritage sites like the Karakol Orthodox Church and Dungan Mosque, offering insight into the region’s diversity.

• Altyn Arashan & Ala-Kul Lake: This was one of the major highlights. The off-road drive in a special army-style vehicle was exciting, and Altyn Arashan itself was pure magic—towering pine forests, alpine meadows, and soothing hot springs. The horse trek to Ala-Kul Lake was an incredible adventure and well organized, with safety and comfort carefully considered.

• Tamga, Skazka Canyon & Barskoon Waterfall: Each destination added a new dimension—from red rock fairy-tale landscapes to powerful cascading falls. Our guide ensured we had time for both exploration and rest.

The transportation was reliable and comfortable throughout. We had a spacious SUV/crossover that handled both paved and rugged terrain well. The inclusion of a special army car for the Altyn Arashan segment was a great decision for that unique journey.

Accommodation was varied and immersive—from warm and clean guesthouses to a memorable night in a yurt camp by Lake Issyk-Kul. Each location had its charm, and we were warmly welcomed by hosts wherever we stayed. Meals were generous and tasty, with a good mix of local and familiar options.

Our English-speaking guide, Alan, was knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely helpful. He was attentive to our group’s needs and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and safe. He helped us understand the local customs, suggested great photo spots, and made the entire experience smooth and enriching.

This was an incredibly well-executed and value-for-money trip. For $900 USD per person, the package included full transport, accommodations, guided activities, entry fees, horse riding, and more. We never felt rushed or neglected. Instead, we felt cared for every step of the way.

We highly recommend Kyrgyz Trip to anyone planning to explore Central Asia. Whether you’re in it for the dramatic landscapes, cultural exploration, or warm hospitality, they will deliver a well-rounded and unforgettable experience.

Thank you for an amazing journey—we will cherish these memories for a lifetime.

Our kyrgyz trip was truly mesmerizing, a big Thank You to our travel agent company "Kyrgyz trip". They did a wonderful job. Special thanks to our tour guide and planner Aibeck. The selection of places and hotels was just perfect. Krygyztan is a beautiful country but difficult terrain to travel but honestly we did not feel any difficulty even with a 10yrs old kid because it was planned so well and they were very accommodating to all our needs. We generally plan and travel to places by ourselves but I think we did the best thing by allowing Aibeck to do that job in krygyztan. Also thanks to Pablo who had been there with us couple of days and keeping us entertained. Highly recommend recommend them for an adventurous yet comfortable journey while planning krygystan.

We had the most amazing time in the crisp air of Kyrgyzstan. Aibek was a wonderful guide who adapted the trip to suit us. The company are so lovely and personable. It was our wedding anniversary trip and they went above and beyond to ensure we had a lonely time. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!!

My friends and i had a long journey for 6 days with kyrgyz trip and it is very worth it! All of the places we’ve been both lakes and mountains are so amazing and beautiful. Even we’ve been here for many days, we never get bored of the views of nature. I would like to recommend everyone to visit this country once in your life and specially thank you for our tour guide Billy who always took care of us and created an unforgettable tour.
Had a great time with Tari El. The scenery is very beautiful. Journey from one attraction to another is far away but having Tari El as our driver, like fast and furious. Will come back again

Our trip to Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan with this tour company was nothing short of extraordinary. The itinerary provided a comprehensive exploration of both countries, including not only the planned attractions but also delightful surprises with side trips to additional attractions. The natural beauty of the region, from Skazka Canyon to Issyk Kul Lake, Kolsai and Kaindy Lakes, Charyn Canyon, and Shymbulak Mountain Resort, left a lasting impression.

The accommodations, particularly in Tamga Village and Saty Village, provided a comfortable retreat from the cold climate, with fantastic views adding to the overall experience. The warmth and hospitality of the local people, coupled with delicious homecooked meals, enriched our journey.

However, what truly made our trip memorable was the enthusiastic and accommodating guide, Aibek. His willingness to cater to our preferences, stop for impromptu photo opportunities, and facilitate immersive experiences like picnics amidst stunning landscapes truly enhanced the trip. The road trip from Bishkek to Almaty, with its nomadic-style stays and spontaneous moments, added an adventurous flair to the journey.

Overall, our experience with this tour company was exceptional, leaving us with cherished memories and a desire to return, perhaps during the autumn season. My review highlights the company's ability to curate unforgettable experiences and provide excellent service, thanks in large part to the dedication of guides like Aibek.
