Nomadic Kyrgyzstan: Lakes & Yurts
Issyk-Kul, Karakol, Kochkor and Son-Kul
Eight days around Issyk-Kul and up to the high-altitude lake Song-Kul – with nights in yurts, an eagle hunter show and genuine nomadic hospitality.
Route: Manas Airport → Bishkek hotel (or Bishkek hotel → Manas Airport)
Manas International Airport lies about 25–30 km north-west of Bishkek, and many international flights arrive in the middle of the night. A pre-booked transfer means you do not have to negotiate with taxi drivers after a long journey: your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign, helps with your luggage and takes you straight to your hotel.
The drive usually takes 30–45 minutes, depending on traffic. The same service is available in the opposite direction, from your hotel in Bishkek to the airport. The price is per person and depends on the size of your group; for larger groups or a lot of luggage we provide a minivan.
Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall of Manas Airport with a name sign, helps with your luggage and drives you to your hotel in Bishkek (30–45 minutes). For departures, the driver picks you up at your hotel at the agreed time.
