What to expect

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Ala-Archa Gorge, Bishkek Kyrgyzstan

In the morning after pickup from your hotel we’ll head to Ala Archa straight away. The road will take us about 50 minutes. Once we get to the park you’ll be given a pair of trekking poles to start the hike with your guide at the foot of mountains. Our aim is to reach the Ak Sai waterfall (4km) or if it seems too long for you, the Broken Heart point (2km). Along the laid trail to the destination you’ll have some stops to enjoy a breathtaking view of the mountains, coniferous forests and a river. Once we reach the waterfall you’ll have some time up there to walk around and take some stunning pictures. Descending down. Return to Bishkek. On the way back to the city we're inviting you to have a complimentary lunch at a national restaurant just to get a slight idea of the Kyrgyz cuisine. That’s gonna be delicious, we bet! Drop off at your hotel upon arrival in Bishkek. End of the tour. Have a beautiful evening!

Ash, our guide, spoke perfect English and was easy to communicate with. Our conversations gave us further know...
