Day 1
Fly to Bishkek!

Choose a morning arrival flight. We will immediately go to a mountain gorge not far from the city.
There is a nomad bath complex with sea buckthorn baths, a steam room and a juniper broom.

Imagine how pleasant it is to steam in a bathhouse after a flight, swim in an ice-cold plunge pool and take a healing sea buckthorn bath!
In the evening we will have a traditional dinner.

Day 1
Day 2
After a good night’s sleep and breakfast we set off for the Chon-Kemin mountain gorge.

On the way we stop at the Burana Tower. This is one of the main attractions of the region. There are many legends around the tower, but we will find out the real story!

In the afternoon we arrive at the hotel in the Chon-Kemin gorge. Here we can relax by the pool overlooking the mountains.

Today we will meet the craftswoman Gulmira Akmatova. She makes unique things from merino wool. The entire process is completely manual. We will study the production technology, and if you wish, you can purchase the products.

In the evening we will learn how to play the traditional Kyrgyz game - alchiki.
Day 2
Day 3
After breakfast we will go to the southern shore of Issyk Kul.

Our first canyon - Kok Moinok - is like a whole metropolis in the bizarre patterns of red rocks. A quite stunningly beautiful place. And then, equally impressive, to Aksai Canyon. Here we will have a picnic on the shore of Issyk-Kul.

And in the evening we will stop at a yurt camp, where we will enjoy a delicious dinner.
Day 3
Day 4
Kyrgyzstan is, first of all, people.

Today I will introduce you to an amazing person Almazbek Ukunov - a hereditary berkutchi (eagle handler). This is the ancient art of hunting foxes, hares and wolves with tamed golden eagles and taigans.
Are you brave enough to hold the golden eagle in your hands? We will see the show and chat with the owner in his house.

Next, the Martian canyon “Fairy Tale” awaits us!
Day 4
Day 5
Today we will spend the day in Karakol.

First, we will have a walk around the city, stop at the bazaar and taste the Dungan dish ashlyanfu. If you haven’t eaten ashlyanfa, you haven’t been to Karakol!

Next we move forward to the Jeti Oguz gorge!
Here we will spend the whole day enjoying the alpine views. We will have lunch in a yurt and take a horseback ride to the Maiden's Braids waterfall.

For dinner we will go to Dungan house for a very tasty and colorful meal.
Day 5
Day 6
In the morning we head back to Bishkek.

At the moment I am deeply immersed in studying the culture, traditions, beautiful places and incredible people of Kyrgyzstan.

This incredible country has sunk deeply into my soul! There are many talented people here, incredibly beautiful nature, a nomadic culture that’s carefully persevered by people. Kyrgyzstan is a real gem! I love my experience living in a nomad community and I will be happy to share it with you!

No special training is required. But be prepared that moving between locations can take up to several hours. There will always be water in the cars.

Horse riding is also planned in the program. The horses are trained to work with tourists, the main thing is to follow the guide's instructions.

During the trip, we will make several light trekking trips with a small climb lasting up to 2 hours. Pay attention to this if you have joint problems.
During our trip we will have meals in traditional Kyrgyz houses, hotels and yurt camps. The basis of our diet will be traditional Kyrgyz cuisine: beshbarmak, manti, lagman, kuurdak, boorsok amongst others.

Kyrgyz cuisine is built around meat, noodles, rice, potatoes, vegetables and bread. However the menu during the tour will be more varied. Not a single dish will be repeated twice.

If you choose to travel, research your destinations and get appropriate travel insurance. Insurance should cover your itinerary, planned activities and expenses in an emergency.

The weather in Kyrgyzstan in summer is quite hot, but we will be going up to high mountain lakes, where we may be exposed to a breeze or even rain, so we need to think through our wardrobe carefully.

- light trekking boots or trainers

Kyrgyzstan is a Muslim country. And with rare exceptions, you will not find a feast with alcohol. Therefore, alcoholic beverages are not included in dinners and lunches. You can purchase them additionally.
