4 Day Hike through Archa Tor pass
It’s my first trip to Kyrgyzstan! My wife and I are independent travelers and prefer the solitude of traveling without guide or porters. I found Aibek Nomad's Land online as we were on a short 5 day trip, 3 or which were full day hikes so transport to and from the exact start and end points were essential. I have to say he arranged it exceptionally l, and from the airport we managed to get our trip off to a flying start!
He made sure we got picked up, dropped off, safe throughout the trip with messages (when we had signal) to ensure we were on track. He also helped us out with the language barrier and recommended a few places for extra supplies!
A big shout to the driver who was a legend... all above and beyond! Thanks a lot Aibek, you made it easy and we are in love with Kyrgyzstan!
Traveling with another student in February 2018, I was able to appreciate the high quality service provided by the Nomad's Land team. She was able to answer us immediately, and draw with us in the space of a few hours a course adapted to our desires on the south shore of Lake Issy-Kul, starting from Bishkek. The advice on places to see and people to stay with (the eagle hunter, the Skazka canyon, Jety Oguz), as well as the prior organization of transfers and walks were excellent, and in fact this trip was more successful. The service is worth its price. I recommend !
