비슈케크에 있는 Travel Land에서 사륜구동 차량을 5일 동안 렌트해서 키르키즈스탄의 아름다운 지역을 아주 멋지게 여행을 하였습니다. 송쿨호수, 이식쿨호수,카라콜 등 험하고 비포장도로가 많은 고산 지역을 아무 문제없이 안전하게 운전하면서 멋진 경치 경관을 즐겼습니다. Travel Land 의 모든 직원들은 친절했고 문의사항에 대해 신속히 답변을 주었습니다. 기회가 된다면 다음애도 Travel Land 를 다시 이용할 생각 니다.

Meine Reise mit Travel Land in Kirgistan war ganz ausgerwöhnlich und besonders. Alles von erster Kontaktaufnahme bis zum Schluss hat es meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Sowohl der Guide Emir wie auch der Fahrer Alex waren extrem freundlich, lustig und sehr gut in Ihren Dingen. Mir konnten alle Fragen beantwortet werden. Auch auf das Backoffice war Verlass, Flexibel wurden tolle Alternativen angeboten, als das Wetter mal nicht so mitspielte, Ich war einfach begeistert was da im Gesamtpaket geboten wurden. Volle Punktzahl. Ich habe die Reise von Anfang bis Ende in vollen Zügen genossen. Vielen vielen Dank. Ich kann Travel Land auf alle Fälle weiter empfehlen.

My trip to Kyrgyzstan was truly unforgettable. We booked the 9-days tour, and choosing Travel Land was one of the best decisions we made. Their local knowledge allowed us to discover places, experiences, good food, and cultural insights that we would never have found on our own. A special thank you to out guide Aktan and driver “J”, who were fantastic throughout the trip. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, good mood, and genuine care made a huge difference, and they went out of their way to make every day enjoyable and memorable. Kyrgyzstan exceeded all my expectations, and I would highly recommend both the destination and Travel Land to anyone looking for stunning scenery, authentic experiences and an adventure they will never forget. I trully recommend!!

My trip to Kyrgyzstan was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The country itself is stunningly beautiful, with breathtaking landscapes everywhere you look. I was particularly impressed by how green and clean it is: nature feels untouched, and it's remarkable how little litter you see, even in remote areas. The people were another highlight of the journey. Everywhere we went, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness. The locals were friendly, hospitable, and always willing to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was also fantastic, offering a great mix of traditional flavours and hearty dishes that perfectly complemented the adventure. Choosing to travel with a tour turned out to be one of the best decisions we could have made. We were especially lucky because our group ended up being the only participants on the tour, which made the whole experience feel much more personal and exclusive. Our guides took us to places and experiences that we would never have discovered on our own, giving us a unique insight into local life and culture. Having local guides also helped us overcome some of the challenges that independent travellers can face, particularly the language barrier. Thanks to them, everything felt seamless, and we could focus entirely on enjoying the country and making the most of every moment. A special mention must go to our fantastic guides, Aktan and J, who were truly exceptional throughout the entire trip. Their knowledge, professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine care made all the difference. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the journey was enjoyable and memorable, and their local insight allowed us to experience Kyrgyzstan in a way that would simply not have been possible otherwise. They were instrumental in making this trip as amazing as it was. Overall, this was one of the most memorable trips I've ever taken. Kyrgyzstan exceeded all my expectations, and I would wholeheartedly recommend both the destination and the tour experience to anyone looking for spectacular scenery, authentic cultural experiences, wonderful people, and unforgettable adventures.

Good, fast service. The hired Toyota Rav4 from 2018 was a very good car. Never had a problem on the roadtrip of 1600 km with a lot of off-road tracks.

Experience the pristine beauty of Son Kul Lake Tour, immerse yourself in nomadic traditions, and enjoy stunning alpine meadows over three unforgettable days.

  • 3-Day Tour to Son Kul Lake

Day 1. Bishkek – Kochkor – Son Kul Lake

We pick you up at the meeting point at 9:00 am. The beautiful mountain roads lead us to Son
Kul Lake.

On the way, we stop in the village of Kochkor, where we visit a guesthouse that hosts a
women’s artisan cooperative. Here, Kyrgyz craftswomen will demonstrate how they make
traditional felt carpets (shyrdaks) from sheep’s wool — an important part of Kyrgyz culture
(option).

We continue our trip towards the lake. We overcome the mountain pass Kalmak Ashu (3400).
From the top, the lake appears tiny in the vast landscape — but as we descend, it reveals itself
as a vast and breathtaking alpine lake.

Upon arrival at a camp at the lake, you get to know the hospitality of the nomads and their
lifestyle. Dinner and night in the yurts.

Meals included: dinner

Accommodation: Yurt camp

Option: felt show (35 USD per group)

Note: 2 people per yurt. Toilets and shower are outside.

Day 2. Son Kul Lake (free day)
Day 2. Son Kul Lake (free day)

Breakfast in the yurts.

After breakfast you will do a light hiking to the surrounding hill where the beautiful panoramic view opens in front of you (2 hours). In the meadows local nomads graze herds of sheep and horses. The smiles of local people, the aroma and taste of freshly baked bread will leave you with pleasant and unforgettable impressions.

Lunch in the yurts. After lunch, enjoy some free time to explore the lake and take photos of the beautiful landscapes.

The road to Bishkek passes through the Suusamyr valley and the Too Ashuu pass. From the mountain pass, there is a clear view over the whole valley with green grass and yurt camps.
