A great day out! - A brilliant trip to Burana Tower and Konorchek! The tour was for the whole day and very relaxed. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly who gave ample time to explore the sights. I would definitely recommend this company and tour. Good communication and varied pick up points from hotels etc.

Great tour, would recommend - Very nice tour. Excellent guide with good English skills. Safe journey in a modern minibus. My wife and I went with two other travellers. We loved climbing up inside the Tower with beautiful views of Tien-Shan mountains. The ancient grave stones, rock drawings and ancient writings were very special.
We stopped for a snack where we were introduced to some local cuisine which was very tasty. Our hike into Konorchek Canyon was about 4 kms, It was worth the walk in.
When we got back to Bishkek we were dropped off at a location of our choice.

The walk in the canyon was ok (I m 52 yo and not do sport often!) and the view is amazing.I absolutely recommand this trip.

A colourful walk in scenic Kyrgyzstan - I was travelling on my own but was accompanied by two other single travellers which was great as it made it cheaper for me. We had our own personal driver, Faruk, who was very informative about Kyrgyzstan and accompanied and supported us throughout the trip.
Burana Tower was our first stop. Loved climbing up inside the Tower with beautiful views of Tien-Shan mountains. The ancient grave stones, rock drawings and ancient writings were very special.
We stopped for a snack where Faruk introduced us to some local cuisine which was very tasty.
Our hike into Konorchek Canyon was about 4 kms. The climax was reaching the red earth Eolian Castles. From a small plateau you could see layers of the canyons from the north. It was a photographer’s paradise. It was truly stunning.
When we got back to Bishkek we were taken to a beautiful local restaurant where we could order what we liked (all included in the price of the tour).
I cannot recommend this company and tour highly enough. Talgat was always there to respond to my queries.
