Highly recommend - This trip is amazing, the view is stunning along the way to both Chunkurchak and Ala Archa National Park. The natural beauty is beyond words that I totally immersed to. The tour guide speaks good English and made good conversation. It is a trip that worth the time spent. Also, thank you Datka Travel - Mr Talgat who has kindly arranged the tour for me within a very short notice. Despite this short notice, the arrangement with an experienced tour guide is what I truly appreciate.

Fantastic Escape to the Countryside - This is definitely the tour agency you want to use! Datka (and its owner Talgat) were extremely helpful in planning my excursion and very responsive whenever I had a question. My tour guide Beka pick me up at my hotel in the capital Bishkek. He was a great guy who spoke fantastic English and told me about both himself as well as his beautiful country Kyrgyzstan. We arrived at Ala Archa National Park, not a far drive away from the capital. I was lucky to catch the park in its full autumnal beauty as the leaves were changing colors. I took a short hike around the park and loved every minute of it. My only regret was not planning to spend more time there! We then headed off to Chunkurchak nearby. After the car completed a steady climb up the mountain, I got to take a ski lift up a cliff and did a short zip line down, catching the breathtaking view of the mountains and valleys around me. Unforgettable! I then got to do a fun horseback ride around the mountains. We then had some delicious local dishes (beshbarmak…mmm) for lunch at a scenic restaurant on the mountain side. However, the adventures were not yet over as before sunset, we arrived at the famous Sky Bridge. Not for the faint of heart, the Sky Bridge allows you to walk over a gorge with a waterfall 90 m below you (don’t worry… You can easily hold on to the bridge!). A quick walk at the other end shows a great view of the surrounding valley. There was also a quick stop at a national memorial for fallen soldiers, where you can learn about some of the country’s past. The trip was a great escape from the bustling city for a day. Even for one person, the tour is very affordable and it could not have been easier with my own driver and tour guide. I highly recommend it!

Spectacular Mountain Views - My husband and I enjoyed our day with Advar. The trip up to Chunkurchak Gorge was a highlight. The mountain views were spectacular! Advar drove very carefully on the narrow mountain roads. We felt safe and cared for the entire day. He is also extremely knowledgeable about Kyrgyz culture and history. I highly recommend this tour.
