Starting and ending in Bishkek, the "Kyrgyzstan Walking Explorer" trip is a guided trekking and hiking tour that takes 10 days. You will travel through Ala Archa National Park, Son-Köl, Issyk Kul and 3 other destinations in Kyrgyzstan. "Kyrgyzstan Walking Explorer" is a small group trip which includes accommodation, meals and others.

Dominated by majestic mountain ranges, Kyrgyzstan has been nicknamed the Switzerland of Central Asia. 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.
