Excellente agence qui organise des tours pour tous les goûts : détente, treks faciles à difficiles, découverte culturelle, rencontre avec la population kirghize, sport d'hiver, etc. Lors de mes différentes expériences avec Nomad's Land, les guides et interprètes qui m'ont accompagné ont toujours fait preuve d'un grand professionnalisme et d'une grande assurance. Les tours ont toujours été minutieusement organisés et ont toujours répondu à mes attentes. Je recommande sans réserve cette agence à quiconque qui désire découvrir ce merveilleux pays !
In a country where it's not that easy to backpacking on your own nomad's land helps you to organise a unique journey. I am very happy with the tour they organise, they got me. I saw amazing landscape and slept in wonderful places, in a yurt in a middle of nowhere or in shepherd house with local families. The guide Mirbek had a great sense of humours, incredible knowledge about his country. Easy going and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
