Kirgizië Nomadische cultuur beleven: 4-daagse rondwandeling Issyk-Kul-meer

New Way Service's PIC by the name of Keith was super helpful. Besides visiting Kyrgyzstan, we wanted to travel to Uzbekistan as well. Keith went out of the way and took the initiative to contact his friends in Tashkent who then arranged everything for us and at a very affordable price too. Our young Uzbek tour guide by the name of Almaz could speak Uzbek, Russian, English, Mandarin and even Japanese. Very helpful guy as well. He even ran all the way back to look for a phone someone from the group dropped and managed to find it. We had a lot of fun in Samarkhand and Bukara as well as Tashkent. The restaurants he brought us were clean, pleasant and the food was great. They even have live bands. I had some indigestion because of over eating. Other than that everything was great. Travelled everywhere by e-hailing taxis. Almaz said this is cheaper. The e-hailing taxis were very efficient and responded very quickly after the booking. Our group of 6 spent an unforgettable 7 days in Uzbekistan. If you're going there, you can shorten it by two days because we also met up with friends while we were there. Upon arriving in Bishkek from Tashkent, Keith arranged for us to be picked up. the next day we began our tour with guide named Daniyar who is a very experienced tour guide and hiking guide. Speaks good English, Kyrgzys and Russian. We took his Toyota 4-Wheel drive cruiser for our trip. He's also a very experienced and careful driver. Thanks for recommending him Keith. Basically our trip was moving from Bishkek up and around the right of Lake Izzy-kul. Then we came back down the other side of the lake to Bishkek. Everywhere we went the snow-peaked Tian Shan mountain range greeted us. It was indeed a sight to behold. We stayed in the hills, in the farms, in the cities, in Yurts etc. Every turn is a new sxperience and the scenery captivating. We didn't plan for any hiking and Daniyar told us that the sceneries deep in the mountain range along the hike will blow us away. Horses are plentiful and they drink horse milk. The people were very friendly and we managed to communicate even with the villagers using Google translate. Knowing Russian will be a bonus. Lake Izzy-kul (Hot Lake - cos it never freezes) is a saline lake offering swims (like the Dead Sea in certain areas as it is saline), fishing, boating, water activities and beautiful coastal hotels. All this of course depends on the season. It was too cold for us to do anythig. Haha. We went just before the peak season and it was nice with all the mountains to ourselves...haha. Almost all. Again views of the Tian Shan mountain range lined the horizon as we travelled roud the lake. The sceneries on the trip were simply breath-taking. Daniyar told us that Krygyzstan is also know as the Switzerland of Asia. There is too much to write. Go and find out for yourself. Back in Bishkek, Keith arranged another tour to Ala Archa National Park. The landscape was slightly different but fascinating as well. Had lunch in a Yurt style restaurant up at the top and the food was great. Spent about 6 days in Kyrgyzstan. Prices of food in both Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan are very reasonable, almost similar to those back in Kuala Lumpur where I am from. A great place to go for a rest and to unwind. Thank you New Way Service.

We enjoyed our two-week trip in Krygzstan and Kakastan. Here are some highlights of the amazing tourist spots we have visited. The Burnara Tower gave us a great experience of a panoramic view from the top. The Issykul lake can see no ends and it looks like the sea more than a lake. It is enjoyable to swim in the lake. Even if you do not know how to swim, it is fun to walk through the shallow water. There are also some historical spots like the Victory Square,with the statue of the Krygzs' hero and the fire that never extinguishes, the Nomad stadium and the museum which help tourists understand more about Krygzs' history, costumes, famous writers and local culture. It is great to stay in a yurt, giving us a taste of how the locals live in the past Talking about food, apricots, water melons, fruit tea (compo) are highly recommended. Horse meat is also worth trying. Other activities like horse riding, taking cable cars to the Peak,etc are also enjoyable.

It can be hard to get to the attractions of Kyrgyzstan If you are not familiar. However, the professional and attentive guides arranged a very rich trip for us within seven days. The Fairy Tale Canyon - amazing sculptures and formations you can see. Issyk-Kul, Lake - Breathtaking scenery you can experience. Wonderful blue sky, vast vision. The scenery here is the best in the world. In addition, the price here is not high, and the travelling cost is reasonable. Where can you find a first-rate service at a favorable price? Under the well travelling plan, you can experience different Kyrgyzstan.
