Best of Kyrgyzstan: 9-Day Small-Group Tour

Descripción

If you want to see the best of Kyrgyzstan in one well-paced trip, this is it. Over nine days our small-group tour loops from Bishkek through Burana, a yurt night on the Song-Köl jailoo, the Naryn highlands and Tash Rabat, the south shore of Issyk-Köl and its canyons, Karakol and the hot springs of Altyn-Arashan — a mix of driving, gentle walking and horse riding, sleeping in yurts, guesthouses and small hotels. It's the trip most first-timers should book: comprehensive but not exhausting, with scheduled departures so solo travellers and couples can join a group and split the cost. Guide, transport, stays and meals all included.
