Overview

  • Without a long and eloquent description we want to inform you that we have just created a perfect 4 day private tour for your magical all year round vacation in Kyrgyzstan. To be more precise, this tour had already existed in our arsenal of custom trips for a long time. And it was getting requested so frequently that we thought it would be unfair or even silly not to upload it onto our website and Viator/TripAdvisor. Now, as the justice has been celebrated, you can grab this tour and rock out your vacation with us! During this tour you'll be trying: ship cruising on the second largest alpine lake in the world, horseback riding up some mountains, hiking in jaw-dropping canyons, the delicious Kyrgyz cuisine, participating in the traditional hunting with eagles and archery, relaxing in hot spring pools and much much more!
