We had a wonderful 15 days in Kyrgyzstan and wholeheartedly recommend Nomad's Land to anyone the country would tempt - and believe us it is worth it! The team is as competent as it is cheerful and dynamic, with a real desire for ecotourism (it's not just marketing at home and that's a pleasure) and exploring off-track trails. We were able to walk the Kyrgyz mountain trails alone in the world, at our (good) walking pace and having the impression of being Kyrgyz for a little while in our life. A huge thank you to all the team who greatly contributed to such a success of our trip, we hope to have the chance to come back to see you one day!
Excellent agency based in Bishkek. Quick follow-up on preparations, very attentive, flexible, and above all professional. The itinerary and any potential adjustments were well-managed. The trip went as planned (13 nights) with bonuses. ;-) The guide-driver (quadrilingual!) was a real gem (available, attentive, polite, serious). Learned a great deal in his company and could ask him countless questions (with answers not found in guidebooks). Perfect weather (only a few hours of rain with an incredible rainbow). Good food (to our great surprise). Pleasant accommodations (yurts, homestays, or guesthouses). The trip was 100% successful thanks to the excellent collaboration with Nomad's Land. One desire remains, to return. ;-)
