The 6-Day Signature Journey
Bishkek · Karakol · Jyrgalan · Altyn Arashan · Skazka · Son Kul
About this journey
Six days from Bishkek to Son Kul — designed to slow down at the right moments.
A private guide and driver stay with you from morning coffee to the last starlit dinner. The route weaves through Karakol's markets, a horse trek in Jyrgalan, the hot springs of Altyn Arashan, the red canyons of Skazka, and two unforgettable nights at Son Kul lake — 3,016 metres above the world.
Prefer to end sooner or extend? Any day of the trip you can leave the group and travel solo, or we can shorten to a 3-day version. Water, snacks and a stocked fridge are on the house.
