Yet despite its seemingly endless natural beauty, it remains undiscovered by mass tourism, making it the ideal destination for culturally curious travellers. Come and explore this magnificent land on foot, the best way to truly appreciate the natural wonders.Starting from the capital, Bishkek, we head into the wild and walk among marvels of nature, including the Tian Shan mountains, Ala-Archa Gorge, and alpine lakes, such as Issyk Kul and Son-Kul. We also experience the nomadic traditions of the country, staying in a lakeside yurt camp, before returning to Bishkek with a scenic drive over mountain passes.

  • Hike the wilds of Kyrgyzstan: towering mountains, alpine lakes and age-old cultures
  • Experience the life of Kyrgyz nomads with a yurt stay by Son-Kul Lake
  • Walk to alpine waters in the Jergalan Valley and explore the southern shores of Issyk Kul
