About the tour

Canyons, gorges & hot springs

The Spring Tour of Kyrgyzstan is a six-day journey through the country as it wakes up: green gorges of Ala-Archa and Chon-Kemin, red-rock canyons on the shores of Issyk-Kul, roaring waterfalls and natural hot springs high in the mountains.

It combines everything in one trip: horseback riding in Chon-Kemin, nights in yurts, a traditional eagle-hunting show, the Fairy-Tale Canyon, the Seven Bulls of Jeti-Oguz, the valley of Altyn-Arashan and the Kyrchyn Ethno Bazaar.

A small-group journey with a balance of adventure, culture and time to simply enjoy the spring mountains.
