Faruk was the best tour... - Faruk was the best tour guide I had during my entire stay in Kyrgyzstan. He was professional, incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and provided a great experience. We saw Ala Archa National Park — we hiked together up to the panorama point, about a 45-60 minute hike. He helped take many photos of me in exactly the way I wanted. Afterwards, he took me to a local lunch place where we had manti, fried lagman noodles with spicy sauce and meat, and chicken kebabs. Everything was fresh tasting, clean, and best of all, the place seemed incredibly local and popular. Faruk spoke English flawlessly and provided the needed context and information for the tour, and before we parted ways, he gave me lots of local recommendations. I highly recommend him and his company for future tours.

Quick taste of park with invigorating hike - I did the Essential Day Trip to Ala Archa National Park which was a perfect introduction to Ala Archa Park. We walked for about an hour in the park, which was serene, tranquil, and very beautiful. We were able to take photos from a vantage point. Then we hiked back and drove back to town. Lunch is included at a local restaurant. The guide was knowledgeable and took care of me, exemplified professionalism and respect, and gave me tips on Bishkek. Would definitely recommend to people short on time and want a taste of this beautiful park.

Breathtaking view of Ala-Archa! - I arrived at Bishkek on July 14, 2025 and had (unfortunately) only two full days touring around the country. I had read already some time ago about Datka Travel before the my departure for Kyrgyzstan. On July 15, I decided to contact and tried my luck if a solo guided day tour would be possible for July 16. They replied swiftly and we agreed on the price.
We made it to the Broken heart rocks (altitude 2420m) from the entrance within 1,5 hours (roughly). The way throughout was rocky, certain sections were a bit steep for hiking up without proper gears (trekking boots + trekking poles) even though we still managed.
The view along the hiking trail is absolutely breathtaking! No matter the running rivers, ice-capped mountains, valleys, wrangler with running horses, all were wonderful! Thanks Datka Travel for arranging the tour and the tour guide for helping me on our way back.

Amazing Trip!! - I had a wonderful time exploring the area with my guide Faruk. He is very knowledgeable, kind and engaging. He made sure that everything myself and co-travellers need were attended to. We asked if we can do a short horse-riding lesson and he went out of his way to find one.
