Great day out near Bishkek - An excellent introduction to beautiful Kyrgyzstan with our friendly and engaging guide Ali. Ala Archa was busier than usual as we visited during holidays, but it was easy to get away from the crowds.

Solo winter escape with a great guide - Went on a solo trip on January 2, 2025, booking it just five days beforehand and it turned out to be awesome. My guide, Seytek, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. He always made sure I was comfortable throughout the trip and was super flexible with the plans. He even said we could stop anytime on the road if I wanted to take photos or just slow down and appreciate the scenery on the way to Ala Archa Park. While I enjoyed walking through Ala Archa Park, I felt like the visit was a bit too short. It would’ve been nice to dedicate a whole day just to explore the trails there. But I totally understand that this was due to the tour’s time constraints—like avoiding traffic between Ala Archa, Skybridge, where I got a drone video of me crossing the Skybridge, and Chunkurchak, and making sure I had enough time for visitng the rest of tour like Chunkurchak. I would probably book a full day Ala Archa tour if I get the chance next time to try out the trails in Ala Archa Nature Park. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated the freedom to explore Chunkurchak on my own. Seytek offered to guide me through, but I insisted to explore solo and he was totally supportive, checking in regularly via phone, which I truly appreciated. I ended up spending three hours on the Chunkurchak trail without even realizing it. Most of the time, I had the trail to myself, which made it feel like a real winter adventure. The quiet, the snow, and the peaceful nature at the top of the trail were unforgettable. Sure, it was cold, but the excitement of hiking and exploring something unknown completely made up for it.

Best Guide in Bishkek Kyrgyzstan - The overall experience was great. Thanks to our guide Anvar (English speaking) who was very professional and knowledgeable. He gave us detailed insights of the historical background of multiple venues, joined us in the trekking uphill at Ala Archa National Park, and also took us to additional venues based on our special request. We strongly recommend Datka Travels.

Kyrgyzstan poisoned trip - It is one of the most popular places in the Bishkek region. My advice is that you go and make yourself comfortable. There's a restaurant there that cooks traditional dishes. Then there's the horse tour. There's also a zipline cable car.

Day trip near Bishkek by Datka - The day trip was well worth it with fantastic views at Chunkurchak valley, even though the roads are not very comfortable. Recommend Datka travel for day trips in Bishkek and Kyrgyzstan

Beautiful Scenery, Cool Guide - Ala Archa was very beautiful, and nice views were reasonably accessible even with snow. The suspension cable bridge is pretty cool. I decided against the archery lesson, but the horseback riding *is* worth it if you (like me) have never ridden a horse. The first 10 minutes aren’t particularly scenic, but the remainder is quite picturesque. The drive up through the mountains *to* the horse ride was actually the most stunning part of the trip. Anvar, my guide, was very chill and accommodating, as well as an interesting person to talk with. He didn’t force any stops at tourist traps, and, although he was knowledgeable and answered any questions, he also let me wander off and explore on my own whenever I wanted. It felt more like riding around with a local friend than a tour guide. Would definitely recommend, both the tour and Anvar.
