Kyrgyz week
This 7-day journey across Kyrgyzstan is a deep immersion into the country’s most iconic landscapes, nomadic traditions, and mountain life. This tour is perfect for travelers who want to see the real Kyrgyzstan — not just from the window of a car, but through short hikes, horseback riding, local experiences, and nights in yurts and mountain lodges. No special physical training is required, but a basic level of activity and curiosity is welcome. Along the route, you will visit Issyk-Kul Lake, the pearl of Central Asia, explore the red rock formations of Skazka Canyon, walk through the dramatic valleys of Jeti-Oguz and Barskoon, and relax in the natural hot springs of Altyn-Arashan with views of snow-covered peaks. You will experience authentic nomadic culture at Song-Kul Lake, ride horses along alpine meadows, and stay in a traditional yurt camp under a star-filled sky. The journey also includes cultural highlights such as an eagle hunting demonstration in Bokonbaevo, the ancient Burana Tower, and a guided city tour of Bishkek, offering a balanced mix of nature, history, and local life.
