What Makes This Journey Special?
This is more than just a trip — it’s a true immersion into the spirit of Kyrgyzstan.
No rush, no noise — just you feeling the country through the silence of the mountains, the taste of homemade bread, the scent of woodsmoke, stories at memorials, and walks along spruce-covered trails.
The route is built on contrasts: wild gorges and cozy ethno-locations, historical landmarks and untouched nature, breakfast in a yurt and coffee in a city café. Everything is designed for those who want to breathe deeper, truly unwind, and bring back not just photos — but a feeling.
A small group, a gentle pace, a soulful guide — and everything around you seems to slow down, letting you finally hear what matters most.
Tour Program
A four-day journey into the living heart of Kyrgyzstan. This tour is about mountains where silence speaks louder than words, mornings among spruce forests, trails above gorges, and dinners by the fire.
You will see memorials that preserve the memory of generations, walk across a suspension bridge over a canyon, taste breakfasts made from local products, and stay in places where the view from your window is nothing but nature and sky.
This route is for those who value atmosphere over haste — for those who want to breathe for real.

Highlight: Nature speaks here without words.
Arrival and meeting with your guide, followed by a homestyle breakfast. Transfer to Ala-Archa National Park — spruce-covered trails, a glacial river, and a leisurely walk.
Lunch with mountain views that make you fall silent. Check-in at a mountain lodge — wood, panorama, and the scent of pine.
Evening: dinner by the fireplace, the taste of game meat, and silence outside your window.
Day 2

Breakfast with forest views. Transfer to Ata-Beyit Memorial — a place where only the heart speaks.

Dinner on a terrace with komuz music — flavors that echo the local culture.
Day 4
Highlight: A light ending with the scent of fresh bread and emotion.
Breakfast in the city. Morning stroll through Bishkek — squares, fountains, street art.

Frequently Asked Questions
What to Take with You? (April – October)
In the Kyrgyz Republic, summer means bright sunshine, mountain winds, and cool nights. To make your trip comfortable and easy, make sure to pack the right clothes and essentials.
Clothing
It’s hot in the valleys during the day, so bring lightweight cotton or linen clothing that breathes and protects from the sun. A hat, cap, or scarf is a must. Sunglasses and sunscreen with high SPF will help you avoid sunburn. In the mountains, the heat gives way to coolness — in the evening and morning you’ll need a warm sweater or windbreaker. A light raincoat or jacket will come in handy in wet weather.
Footwear
For city walks — comfortable sneakers.
For the mountains — sturdy trekking boots with good soles.
For relaxing by lakes or in yurts — light flip-flops or sandals.
First Aid Kit
Each group is provided with a basic first aid kit, antiseptic, and wet wipes from our tour company — we take care of your health and safety. You should bring your own personal medicines and any specific medications you may need. Don’t forget sunscreen and mosquito repellent.
Electronics & Photography
Our buses are equipped with chargers for your devices, but we recommend bringing your own as well. Don’t forget your smartphone with a camera and a power bank — in the mountains, power outlets may not be available. We suggest downloading offline maps and guides in advance.
If you want to capture the best moments of your trip, you can use the services of our professional photographer and videographer. You’ll get beautiful photos and videos as a keepsake.
Preparing for Your Trip
Before traveling to the Kyrgyz Republic, it’s important to plan everything well so that nothing distracts you from enjoying the beauty of the country.
Visa
Citizens of most CIS countries do not need a visa — just take your passport and head for adventure! For tourists from other countries, an e-visa can be obtained via the website eVisa.kg — it’s fast and convenient, and we are always ready to assist with instructions.
Currency
The national currency in the Kyrgyz Republic is the som (KGS). It’s best to exchange money at official exchange offices or banks in Bishkek and other major cities. In the mountains and small settlements, cash is often the only payment method, so bring enough soms with you.
Weather
Summer weather is changeable: hot sun in the valleys is replaced by coolness in the mountains, and short rains are possible. Before your trip, check the forecast to know exactly what to pack. Evenings and nights in the mountains can be chilly, so don’t forget warm clothes.
Communication
Our comfortable buses have Wi-Fi, so you can always stay connected. Most hotels also offer internet. If you want stable connectivity on the go, we can provide you with a tourist SIM card at a good rate. Even without it, urban areas have good coverage, and mobile networks work in most popular tourist spots in the mountains.
What Are the Etiquette Tips?
Hospitality and respect for traditions are highly valued in the Kyrgyz Republic. When entering a house or yurt, it is customary to remove your shoes. Do not refuse offered food — it’s a sign of respect to the hosts. In rural areas, dress modestly and behave politely, respecting local customs.
What Dishes Are in Kyrgyz Cuisine?
Beshbarmak — boiled meat with noodles, a symbol of Kyrgyz cuisine.
Lagman and manty — popular meat dishes with an Eastern touch.
Kymyz — fermented mare’s milk, a traditional nomadic drink.
Flatbread baked in a tandoor — served with almost every meal.
