A beautiful scenic day out. - This is an exceptional day trip from Bishkek.
I was travelling solo with one other traveller.
Faruk our personal driver was waiting outside our hotel at the designated time.
Faruk walked with us throughout Ala Archa National Park. We walked up to “Broken Heart”. The views were amazing. Couldn’t stop taking photos. We came down and walked into “The Upper Ala Archa” National Park. From here you got a different perspective of the mountains following the river through the valley. We were lucky flowers were blooming. Faruk took us to the Zoological Museum to see the native birds and animals.
After we were taken to a traditional Kyrgyz restaurant for a late lunch where we ordered what we wanted ( included in the tour). It was delicious.
I highly recommend this company for tours. Talgat was always there to answer any queries.

Wonderful experience hiking, great guide! - I had an amazing experience to Ala Archa. My guide Daniiar was incredible. He was kind, respectful and fun. I was traveling by myself and found myself very confrontabile with him.
He adjusted his pace of climbing to mine (not used to altitude) and was very supportive to ensure we got to the waterfall. I truly enjoyed my special day in the mountains of Ala Archa with Daniiar.

Beautiful hike with great tour company - The trail to waterfall is quite steep but nothing too extreme. Very nice view of the valley with beautiful mountains around. The waterfall was very beautiful already with some snow and ice in places. Our tour guide was very friendly, polite, and interesting to talk about Kyrgyzstan's people, country. We had very enjoyable time hiking in beautiful environment with very nice guide. Highly recommend this company.

Highly recommend this walking experience - Faruk was an excellent guide. He spoke excellent English and was very informative about his country.
We loved the flexibility that we could choose the difficulty of the hike. I walked to the waterfall lookout point and my husband continued to the waterfall.
We also walked the simple river path after that.
The scenery was beautiful.
Another highlight was lunching at a local restaurant. It was great to have all the food options explained to us.
The road into th parked was sealed and good.
It was a great walk in the outdoors and we loved it. Don't expect to see wildlife except for the odd cute red squirrel.
We would highly recommend this nature walk.

Don't miss Ala Archa - Ala Archa was a perfect break from the city. We chose broken heart rock as our hike option. The hike was great exercise - it was slippery on the way down but manageable. Faruk was professional and friendly. He was so generous with his knowledge - I learnt so much ! He was also a very good driver, and gave so many helpful tips for what to do and see in Bishkek.
