Great winter hike! - Had a wonderful time hiking in the snow in February. Ala Archa is truly beautiful and is amazingly close to Bishkek - it only took about half an hour to get to the park from the city. Overall, it was great way to spend the day, and Boca was a fantastic guide. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend!! - I had a really great time and highly recommend this day tour. The national park is beautiful, the walk is catered to your fitness level (we did ~10km over a few hours), and the pick up and drop off were seamless and comfortable. Abdi was an excellent and interesting guide, thank you so much!! Thank you as well to Rahim who was our driver.

A day trip not to miss - Great communication from Boca and a great trip out of the city. A beautiful hike to the waterfall with stops along the way to take photos. Boca was on hand to answer any questions and was thoughtful and attentive throughout the trip. A great lunch stop for local food and Adi (our driver) got us back to our accommodation. Highly recommend this day trip out of Bishkek! Thanks Boca and Adi.

A Good Summer Hike - This is a good hike if you are an outdoor enthusiast but not a seasoned trekker. The lunch at Ak Bata restaurant was delicious. We accidentally left a cell phone there and returned hours later to find it safely stored in the administrator’s cabinet.
