About Kyrgyz Wilderness

A local Kyrgyzstan tour operator running private and adventure tours across the country since 2017.

Our story

Kyrgyzstan, shown by people who live here

Kyrgyz Wilderness started in 2017 with a simple idea: travelers should see the country the way locals know it. Not from a bus window, but on horseback at Song-Kul, on foot over the passes above Karakol, and at the table in a herder's yurt.

We plan and run every trip ourselves. Our team arranges the guides, drivers, horses, camps and meals, so there is one team responsible for your trip from the first message to the last day.

Every trip is private: just you, the people you travel with and your own guide. You choose the dates and the pace, and we change the route if you want more riding, more hiking or a slower day by the lake.

What we stand for

How we run our tours

Three things we never compromise on, on every trip and every route.

    Local guides

    Our guides are from Kyrgyzstan. They speak with the herders and hosts in their own language and know the routes in every season.

  2. 02

    Safety on the trail

    We plan routes around the group's pace and the weather, and we change the plan when the mountains ask us to.

  3. 03

    Fair to the places we visit

    We stay with local families, buy from local producers and leave camps the way we found them.
