4 days tour kyrgyztan

Our recent tour of Kyrgyzstan was great, with the help of our tourguide Madina. She has helped us from the moment we arrived in the country up until the last day. We have visited lakes, mountains, valleys and other places which were really nice.

Response from the operator: Dear tourist! Thank you so much for sharing your warm feedback with us! We're so happy that you loved your time in Kyrgyzstan with us! We're looking forward to showing you other parts of Central Asia soon!

An amazing trip!

Four of us traveling together and did two tours with Ventura Tours. This was an amazing trip! We made a special request to visit a horse farm and see the horse games and it is not to be missed! Other special request were made for hotels. Ventura accommodated all of our request. Nuriza was our guide and she did an outstanding job. Each day she made sure our needs were met and provided information about the sites we visited. She made the trip so fun - teaching us the Koro Gorgo (horse dance) and how to play Toguz Korgool (a strategic board game). Kyrgyzstan is a country of extraordinary natural beauty. On our four day trip we saw some of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Plus we got to ride horses twice, hold an eagle on our arm, and participate in archery. The hikes were beautiful and the landscape changed dramatically as we drove around the lake. I loved that we could order off the menu instead of having a set meal pre-ordered. The restaurants were very good and I now have some favorite new foods. Our driver, Baha was excellent. He navigated the rough roads and we ALWAYS felt safe with him driving. Baha and Nuriza both worked to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. They were a great team.

Response from the operator: Dear Tina! Thank you guys so much for your warm review! We are truly happy that you loved your tour in Kyrgyzstan with us! We really do hope to see you guys in Central Asia again!

Amazing Visit to Kygyzstan😍

We just returned from a private 5 day adventure with Ventura Tours Central Asia. We did a 1 day tour of Bishkek and Ala Archa National Park, followed by a 4 day tour of Issyk Kul Lake. Kyrgyzstan is so beautifu and I feel everyone should see this amazing country. Nuriza was our tour guide as well as our tour planner. She was so responsive and easy to work with, while planning our tour. She was very accommodating with any requests we had. We added a couple things to our tour and she did a fabulous job making sure we were able to do everything we wanted to do. She was a great tour guide and also so much fun, teaching us traditional dances and local games. She encouraged us to do some more challenging hikes and they were so worth it. We saw a beautiful waterfall, canyons and valleys. Pictures can’t capture the beautiful things we saw. Baha was our driver and he was excellent. We felt very safe riding with him!! They made a great team. Everyone must see beautiful Kyrgyzstan and I highly recommend seeing it with Ventura Tours.

Response from the operator: Dear Martha! Thank you so very much for sharing such a warm feedback! We are immensely happy that you guys loved your experience in Kyrgyzstan with us and we're looking forward to hosting you in other countries of Central Asia in future!

The most wonderful trip around winter 🇰🇬

This 4-day tour is definitely a MUST for those tourists who don’t have opportunity to take very long tours, but still would like to observe the most picturesque landscapes without any rush. The tour is perfectly planned and organised. You’ll be able to see everything that is described. Please, don’t be afraid of travelling around Kyrgyzstan in winter, we’ve done it for several times and were absolutely stunned by the magnificent beauty of snow covered mountain slopes. Horse riding in Chon Kemin is a comfortable and relaxing experience. The horses are super friendly and calm, the views are breathtaking! All the other sites are also marvellous. I guarantee you’ll feel excited during the whole trip. Eagle hunting is so special that you’ll never forget this. This tour by Ventura Tours is highly recommended for all the travellers who would like to get acquainted with the country and feel absolutely happy and safe!

Response from the operator: Dear Nataly! Thank you so much for such a wonderful feedback! It’s so much appreciated! We are truly happy that you loved your experience with us! You’re always welcome in Kyrgyzstan!

4 Day Adventure around Issyk Kul lake: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bishkek.

How much does 4 Day Adventure around Issyk Kul lake cost?

+

Prices start at $1400 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bishkek usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does 4 Day Adventure around Issyk Kul lake take?

+

Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bishkek is not rushed.

Is 4 Day Adventure around Issyk Kul lake worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bishkek, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule 4 Day Adventure around Issyk Kul lake?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is 4 Day Adventure around Issyk Kul lake suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 96-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 4 Day Adventure around Issyk Kul lake?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bishkek can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bishkek and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 4 Day Adventure around Issyk Kul lake start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bishkek within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Bishkek?

+

On Outty we rank every Bishkek experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-Inclusive Day Trip: Burana, Canyons & Issyk Kul with Pickup, 2-Day Issyk Kul Small Group Tour with Yurt Stay and Eagle Show, Ala Archa Nature Park Essential Half Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Bishkek?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Bishkek?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
