Enjoy the snowy wonderland at this hiking gem! The Ala Archa National Park is truly a hiking paradise near the capital city (38km). It was established in 1976 by the Soviet government to serve as a natural habitat to many species of animals, a site for alpinism and healthy leisure.The altitude above sea level here ranges from 2000 to 4000 meters and a large number of trekking paths lead their ways high up the mountains to glaciers and waterfalls. A lovely hike out in nature and an acquaintance with our culture at a national restaurant afterwards - all you need to spend one of your vacation days!

What To Expect
Ala-Archa Gorge
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!
