Ездила в октябре с гидом Айбеком до южного берега Иссык-Куля и обратно, ночевала в юрте, посмотрели несколько каньонов, водохранилище, сам Иссык-Куль. Природа завораживает, это просто must see в Киргизстане. Айбек замечательный гид, отличный водитель и просто очень хороший человек, который покажет, расскажет и пофотографирует ;-) Очень рекомендую)Unfortunately 2 days is all we had but I will be back to do a longer stay at some point.

Unfortunately 2 days is all we had but I will be back to do a longer stay at some point. Everything about this tour was amazing from the comfort of the car to the yurt camp, the food, swimming in the lake and the magnificent waterfall. Maksat was our guide - his English is excellent and he was very knowledgeable about each location. Thanks again Maksat for the great company and the great conversation!We took a two day tour to Issyk-Kul lake with our guide Aijamil with a slight modification that included a stop at Burana tower during the outbound leg of the trip.

We took a two day tour to Issyk-Kul lake with our guide Aijamil with a slight modification that included a stop at Burana tower during the outbound leg of the trip. Aijamil was mature, knowledgeable and very personable, and an excellent driver, The stop at Burana tower was excellent and just one example of the flexibility that was available to us - this also extended to the type of food that we wanted to eat, and the option to skip parts that did not seem as interesting to us. The yurt camp overlooking the lake was lovely with good food and facilities. On day two, we visited canyons and a waterfall before heading back. Overall, two great days, but a lot of driving so it may be worthwhile extending this to two nights if time permits.I organized a 3 day tour with Aibek's company in April. It was very easy top talk to him and he was very helpful. Daniiyar )of BooGoo Travels) was our guide and drive for the three days. He was super in all respects - behaviour, knowledge, demeanour, driving etc. We went to Al Archa and Issyk Ku...
I organized a 3 day tour with Aibek's company in April. It was very easy top talk to him and he was very helpful. Daniiyar )of BooGoo Travels) was our guide and drive for the three days. He was super in all respects - behaviour, knowledge, demeanour, driving etc. We went to Al Archa and Issyk Kul with him. He himself is a ski instructor and well traveled. I would recommend Aibek and Daniiyar highly for your trip to Kyrgyzstan. Note: the drive to Issyk Kul takes more than 5 hours and not less as many websites say. Ala Archa is a must visit place. Worth spending a full day or even more. Beltam Yurt camp is basic but manageable - they could do much more to create better experiences for tourists and make them more aware of the local culture and cuisine.We enjoyed our 2-day tour at Issyk kul Lake with our amazing guide Daniyar.

We enjoyed our 2-day tour at Issyk kul Lake with our amazing guide Daniyar. Visit Bishkek was very helpful in preparing us for the trip beforehand, quick to answer all of our questions to made sure we are comfortable. The highlight of the trip was our wonderful guide Daniyar, who was extremely knowledgeable (we learned so much about this country!), made sure all of our needs are fulfilled and that we had fun. He was flexible to change activities depending on the weather and offered us with optional activities during the tour based on our interests. All the meals, activities, and especially the conversations we had with Daniyar made this trip very special. Thank you so much, and we 100% recommend our guide Daniyar and Visit Bishkek for any tours and activities in Kyrgyzstan.Nice tour around Issyk-Kul lake. It is a good opportunity to see different part of the country like Issyk-kul lake where you can swim in summer time, mountains, canyons and to stay one night in a yourt camp.
