Without a long and eloquent description we want to inform you that we have just created a perfect winter tour for your magical winter vacation in Kyrgyzstan. To be more precise, this tour had already existed in our arsenal of custom trips for a long time. And it was getting requested so frequently that we thought it would be unfair or even silly not to upload it onto our website and Viator/TripAdvisor. Now, as the justice has been celebrated, you can grab this tour and rock out your winter adventure with us! During this tour you'll be trying: ship cruising on the second largest alpine lake in the world, horseback riding up snowy mountains, hiking in jaw-dropping canyons, the delicious Kyrgyz cuisine, participating in the traditional hunting with eagles and archery, relaxing in the hot spring pools and much much more!
