5.00I did the 3 day Issyk Kul Tour with Askat and his wife Aizada. Let me say one thing first: They are amazing people! I felt like a little family together with them hence also being a female Solo Traveler. They organized everything from pick up to all tours. I saw the ancient eagle hunting demonstration, several canyons, Issyk Kul, Horse Back riding and even had a spontaneous visit to the hot thermal bath. The food was delicious, the yurt and homestay was perfect. I can really recommend this trip. It had its own special beauty because it was winter and the landscapes looked magical. I will come back that’s for sure! Thank you Aizada and Askat

5.00The scenery was beautiful and there were lots of animals grazing along the way. My guide spoke great English and was very knowledgeable, thoughtful and helpful throughout the tour - I learnt a lot about Kyrgyzstan culture from him. The yurts were cozy and a unique experience. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the nature of Kyrgyzstan.
Great trip on a horseback

4.00Great 3-day trip on a horseback to explore the surroundings of Song Kul. Our guide Murat was very friendly and patient with us even though we couldn't communicate in English with him. He took us through the mountains and valleys with amazing views. The 2 nights could have been a bit more comfortable for the price, there was no shower available except the lake itself. Apart from that, a very traditional experience.

5.00Very Nice tour would recommend to do at least once in your life. The food was good and the people were really nice. Horses were well behaved, no riding experience needed but expect a sore butt afterwards.
