We booked a tour with atlas_kg in December 2024, visiting the key highlights of the Issyk Kul region. The team was very responsive on WhatsApp, and replied us with a detailed itinerary within the hour of us sending them an inquiry.
Overall, the tour was an extremely memorable one, and impressed upon me the beauties of the Kyrgyzstan natural landscape. During the 5 day tour, our knowledgeable guide Muksat was very dependable and friendly, and shared insights about Kyrgyz culture.
The itinerary was well planned, with a good balance of activities amidst the drive around Issyk Kul lake. Some of the key activities included:
- eagle show
- hiking
- horse riding
- visit to Ala Archa
- hot spring visit
The accommodation and food included in this tour was excellent. We stayed in cosy lodgings, where we met the friendliest Kyrgyz hosts! The food was also excellent, and gave us a good grasp of what Kyrgyz cuisine was all about.
Looking forward to doing another tour with atlas in the summer next time!
