About This Tour
An 8-day landscape-focused route through Kyrgyzstan — the Chong-Kemin valley, a Kyrgyz horse farm, Karakol's church and mosque, Jeti-Oguz canyon, a yurt-making village, and the Konorchek Canyons near Bishkek. Voyzo runs this route as a fully private tour — your own vehicle and English-speaking driver throughout, rather than the group transfers the source itinerary is normally booked with.
