What to expect

Day trips from Bishkek are an easy way to see Kyrgyzstan if you only have a day or two in the capital. Each trip has a local guide and private transport, and starts and ends at your hotel.
Go hiking in Ala-Archa National Park, visit the Burana Tower and the ruins of the Silk Road cities Balasagun, Navekat and Suyab, or walk to the Kegeti waterfall and Pigeon Waterfall in Chon-Kurchak gorge. You can also bathe in the Issyk-Ata hot springs, watch a traditional eagle hunting demonstration, raft the Chu river or explore Bishkek itself.
Most day trips are easy and suit families. Many run all year; mountain walks are best from May to October.

FAQ

Day trips: common questions

How much does a day trip in Kyrgyzstan cost?

Prices range from $40 to $70 per person, depending on the tour, its length and the size of your group: the bigger the group, the lower the price per person. Every tour page lists the exact price for each group size, and sending a request is free.

How long is a day trip?

Our day trips take 1 day. We can also add days before or after the tour, or combine it with another route.

When is the best time for day trips in Kyrgyzstan?

Most of these tours run in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December, when the mountain passes are open and the yurt camps are up. Each tour page shows its own best months.

Can I join a group or travel privately?

Both. You can join an open group departure and share the cost with other travellers, propose your own dates for others to join, or book any tour as a private trip on the dates that suit you.
