About This Tour

A 14-day grand circuit of Kyrgyzstan — Bishkek, the Toktogul Reservoir, the alpine Sary-Chelek lake, the walnut forests of Arslanbob, a nomad yurt camp on Son-Kul Lake, the Tash Rabat caravanserai, Skazka Canyon, Jety-Oguz Valley, and Issyk-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.
