Bishkek

In the morning, driver and guide will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to Ala-Archa National Park, located 40 km away. Within an hour, you will arrive in a stunning gorge where the Ala-Archa mountain river flows swiftly. You'll be greeted by breathtaking views of towering snowy peaks, juniper-covered slopes, and alpine meadows blanketed with vibrant flowers.

Ala-Archa National Park

Join us on a relaxing day escape from Bishkek to Ala-Archa National Park, one of Kyrgyzstan’s most beautiful alpine destinations just an hour’s drive from the city. You’ll start your morning with a scenic drive through mountain foothills as snow-covered peaks slowly rise ahead. Depending on your pace and preference, you can take an easy walk to a panoramic viewpoint or a moderate hike toward the Ak-Sai waterfall trailhead — both offering incredible photo opportunities and fresh mountain air. Your guide will share fascinating stories about Kyrgyz nomads, local wildlife, and the park’s mountaineering history — including climbers who once trained here before conquering the Tian Shan peaks. After exploring, return to Bishkek and stop at a traditional Kyrgyz restaurant for an optional lunch where you can taste famous national dishes like lagman, manti, or beshbarmak. You’ll be dropped off at your hotel feeling refreshed and inspired by the beauty of the Kyrgyz mountains.
