The Experience

This is our most complete Kyrgyzstan sampler: Ala-Archa near Bishkek, the high plateau of Son-Kul, and a full Issyk-Kul circuit. Expect big-sky views, nomad traditions, and varied landscapes day after day.


Facilities

A mix of city hotels, guesthouses, and a yurt camp. Dinners & breakfasts included; lunches are flexible stops en route. At altitude nights, yurts are stove-heated and cozy; charging is limited.


Activity

Easy–moderate walking most days, optional horseback riding, cultural visits, scenic photo stops, and calm evenings by the lake or around the yurt stove.
