• 5Unforgettable 2-day trip

  Our guided trip to Song Kul Lake was the highlight of our time in Kyrgyzstan. Orozaly was incredibly knowledgeable about the region, its history, and its culture, and he made us feel completely safe even on the challenging mountain roads. His calm, confident driving gave us peace of mind and let us enjoy the scenery. The horse riding and Yurt stay was amazing, and the views over the lake and surrounding mountains were breathtaking. Everyone we met, from fellow travelers to local families, was warm and friendly, which made the experience even more special. Highly recommend Orozaly and the Tour agency to anyone wanting to experience Song Kul.

• 5Best tour in Kyrgyzstan

  Song-Kul is a must-do while you’re in Kyrgyzstan, and this tour was the highlight of my trip. The lake surrounded by horses was breathtaking and so peaceful. We also stopped at a ton of spots along the way for photos, and every viewpoint was stunning. Orozaly was the best guide we could have asked for. He had such great energy, was incredibly attentive to the group, and made the whole trip easily enjoyable. He’s a very experienced driver, which made us feel completely safe on the roads. Highly recommend this tour!

• 5Best part of our whole trip, Rashid was awesome.

  We visited three different countries over our 15 day trip, and we spent 8 of those days in Kyrgyzstan. This tour was absolutely the best part of our whole trip. Our guide Rashid was incredible and knowledgeable, and he was happy to answer every question about Kyrgyz life and culture. The experience he created made the whole trip perfect. Song-kul itself was larger than life, but we also really enjoyed the stops we stopped at on the way to and from the lake. In particular we enjoyed 33 Parrots Gorge and Burana Tower. The finale of the tour was an eagle hunting demo that was one of the very best parts. We will be recommending this tour to everyone we can convince to visit, and we will specifically recommend Rashid. Thank you very much to Rashid, the rest of the staff, and the folks who hosted us at their camp at the lake.

• 5Awesome private tour provided by my guide Dastan.

  I had a truly magical experience spending two days in mountain in Song Kul region of Kyrgyzstan. My tour guide Dastan took care of everything for me. I didn't have to worry about any fees or lunch. The stay inside the yurt fekt cozy. The nights can be windy and cold even in summer so I advise anyone reading this to bring a warm jacket and a beanie cap to cover your ears. However the inside of the yurts were heated and felt comfortable to sleep. Dastan also helped me with horse riding for 2 hours in the mountains. The horses were calm and fun to ride. The locals taking care of the yurt camp prepared traditional dinner and breakfast which felt like being invited for a feast. Highly recommend anyone visiting Kyrgyzstan to experience the region of Song Kul if you like spending peaceful and a calm day in nature.

• 5Great 2 day trip to song-kul, with horse ride

  Our guide, Elnur, brought a really nice positive energy and helped us understand more about Kyrgyzstan life and culture as he has good English language. He was flexible and included a few side quests (like the Boom gorge trek), and he helped us get vegetarian food, both of which really added to the whole experience.

About Bishkek

Bishkek is the capital of Kyrgyzstan, a green, grid-planned city of Soviet-era squares and parks at the foot of the Ala-Too mountains.

Bishkek stands in the Chui valley at the foot of the Kyrgyz Ala-Too range, whose snow peaks show above the rooftops to the south. The city grew from a 19th-century fortress, was named Frunze in the Soviet period, and took back the name Bishkek in 1991. Its wide, straight avenues are lined with trees, and Ala-Too Square, with its flagpole and the State History Museum, is the ceremonial centre.
