We organized with Ash 8 day tour around Kyrgyzstan which included trekking, exploring green valleys, exploring red canyons, and adding some spice of cultural activities. Overall we had the time of our lives there, and everything was organized perfectly.
EgyptCallum
Had a great time with Ash. Gave just the right amount of information without being overwhelmed. Was great with communication and never felt rushed. The food was delicious and set us up well for the afternoon of horse riding and the drive back to Bishkek.
New ZealandPrabhchint

A yurt, the traditional home of the Kyrgyz
The round felt dwelling of the nomads is still part of life in Kyrgyzstan: it shelters shepherds on the summer pastures, appears in city courtyards for holidays and welcomes travellers at yurt camps. Here is how a Kyrgyz yurt is built, what its parts are called, and the numbers behind it.
Five reasons to visit Kyrgyzstan
Mountains and lakes in four seasons, nomadic traditions you can join, horse games and falconry, the places travellers ask about first, and the question of when to come: what actually draws people to Kyrgyzstan.
Five activities to do around Bishkek
Ala Archa on foot, horse riding in Chunkurchak or Chon Kemin, a cultural walk through the capital, paragliding above the city and rafting on the Chu river: five ways to fill a day, or a day trip, from Bishkek.
Issyk Kul in pictures
A photo album of Kyrgyzstan's best-known lake, following a route around it: Cholpon Ata and the northern shore, Grigoriev gorge, Karakol, Jeti Oguz and Kok Jayik, Skazka canyon and the southern shore, and the Chon Kemin valley on the way back.
The Silk Road beyond monuments
Why markets, workshops and ordinary streets matter as much as the famous tiled facades.
Reading the Central Asian seasons
A practical orientation to heat, altitude and the short high-mountain summer.
A guest in the high pasture
What to expect from a yurt stay and how to arrive with respect for the people hosting you.
