Fantastic experience; excellent guide - Maksat is a fantastic guide! I really cannot recommend this tour enough. Really nice pace, incredibly views, plus Maksat is so kind and informative. The lunch at the end is not to be missed - I can't stop thinking about the grilled Trout. Please don't visit Kyrgyzstan without taking this tour :)

Great day trip and thanks for all the fish - Really great tour! Maks was a charismatic guide who cared a lot about the people in our group and did a good job adjusting it to the comfort and ability of each participant. At the end, we went to a trout barbecue place, and I cannot recommend enough that you do this optional extra. The fish was amazing

Solo-traveler Trekking in Ala Archa Nature Park WITH MAKS - One cannot say that they visited Bishkek without trekking/hiking through the Ala Archa Nature Park WITH MAKS. The nature park, itself is picturesque and breathtaking. Definitely will leave you in awe from its natural beauty to its stunning landscape, this place is magical! Not to mention how GREAT guide MAKS is. He made the trek more fascinating by letting you see what life is in Kyrgyzstan in a lens of a local. It could topic related to philosophy, politics, religion etc. He's open-minded. It's worth to mention how he took us to a fish-farm-liked restaurant to have great lunch to conclude the tour. Saying that this tour is highly recommended doesn't give justice to what experience awaits you!

Perfect getaway from Bishkek - It was an amazing trekking trip to Ala Archa. The national park itself is amazingly beautiful and calming. The trip was made based on my capacity, so I really enjoyed the view and the nature there. The guide Maksat was so helpful and knowledgeable about the national park, he helped me feeding squirrel 😄 he said we might meet some local animals there, but unfortunately I just found squirrel, eagle and marmot's holes. This trip is perfect for anyone looking for nature activity close to Bishkek. I'd love to come back to Ala Archa to explore more with Atlas KG!

Spectacular day trip from Bishkek - We did a half day trip today to Ala Arche Park booked through Get-Your-Guide. What an amazing day, the scenery is breathtaking (literally - being over 2000m altitude) with its clear, sparkling, gushing river, the impressive snow-capped mountains and green alpine-like pastures. It was a Saturday and there were many people in the carpark as this is also a place the locals like to visit in their free-time, but they tend to stay near the entrance. And so we left them behind and were more or less alone on our 3 hour trek up the gorge. It was about 20 degrees and we got away with leggings and t-shirt. Take plenty to drink and if you do want to hike be sure to wear hiking boots or trail running shoes as the path can get slippery with loose grit and stones. Our guide, Ulan, was amazing and talked to us about Kyrgistan, Bishkek, history, culture and social aspects. Can highly recommend this tour if you have a few days in Bishkek and want to get out of the city.
