Went in early April and and had the opportunity to join a private tour group and drive to the absolutely breathtaking Ala Archa National Park for the afternoon. Some of the trails offered absolutely incredible views and we were particularly fortunate to have close encounters with some of the local wildlife!
After spending a few hours hiking through the landscapes, we were taken to meet and spend time with a local Kyrgyz family - the people were very welcoming and keen to share as much as possible about their culture. Food was varied and outstanding, with several ingredients locally sourced in their own garden
Highly recommended and a must-do when staying in or around Bishkek. Special thanks to our guide Talgat, who was super friendly, knowledgeable and delivered an exceptional and unforgettable experience!
