About This Tour
A 10-day cultural circuit through Kyrgyzstan — Bishkek and Ala-Archa National Park, the ancient Burana Tower, Issyk-Kul Lake's petroglyphs and gorges, Jety-Oguz Valley, eagle-hunting and felt-making in Kochkor, and a nomad camp on Son-Kul Lake. Voyzo runs this route as a fully private tour — your own vehicle and driver throughout, rather than the group transfers the source itinerary is normally booked with.
