The trip in a nutshell

This is a trip designed and created entirely by an experienced WeRoad Coordinator. They organise the entire trip, from planning the itinerary to selecting accommodations and on-site experiences. Through WeRoad, you can book the trip and manage it in your MyWeRoad account, just like any other WeRoad.

Welcome to Kyrgyzstan—a land of wild, untamed beauty where the traditions of nomadic life are still alive: yurt camps, eagle hunting, and the art of felt-making. On this journey, we’ll discover Kyrgyz culture and history firsthand while exploring the country’s breathtaking landscapes. Starting in the capital, Bishkek, we’ll visit the ancient city of Balasagyn before continuing into the Chon-Kemin Valley, where we might even enjoy a traditional horse-drawn sleigh ride.

From day three, we’ll immerse ourselves in Kyrgyzstan’s pristine nature, beginning with the dramatic Kok-Moinok canyon and continuing to the salt mines and frozen Ara-Kol lake. The highlight? Kel-Suu lake—an alpine gem set at 3,500 meters in the heart of the Tian Shan mountains, right on the border with China. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, it’s a truly unforgettable sight. But the adventure doesn’t end there! We’ll marvel at the red cliffs of the Jeti Oguz valley, the dreamlike formations of Skazka canyon, and the grandeur of Aksai canyon before spending a magical night in a yurt, welcomed by a nomadic family for the most authentic experience of all.

Before returning to Bishkek, we’ll explore Karakol, a historic crossroads on the way to China. Here, we can soak in the natural hot springs of Ak-Suu, framed by stunning mountain views, or wander through bustling local markets in search of souvenirs to remind us of this extraordinary land.

Check-in: Our adventure begins in Bishkek

Flights to and from the destination are not included in the package, so you can decide from where and when you want to leave! This gives you complete freedom of choice to adjust your travel itinerary to your needs.

Our journey begins in Bishkek, the lively capital of Kyrgyzstan. We’ll step straight into the city’s rhythm with a guided tour of the old town. Then it’s on to Osh Bazaar, the largest and most vibrant market in Bishkek, where the colours, aromas, and bustle offer a perfect first glimpse of daily life. Later, we’ll take some time to rest and settle in before gathering for a welcome dinner—our first chance to savor the rich flavors of Kyrgyz cuisine.

The historic site of Burana

Today our adventure truly begins! We’ll meet our guide and driver, who will be with us throughout the journey, and set off eastward. Our first stop is the Burana Tower, about 80 km from Bishkek. Surrounded by ancient mausoleums, stone carvings, and the remains of fortifications, the tower is all that remains of the once-thriving Silk Road city of Balasagyn.

From there, we’ll enjoy a traditional lunch with a local Kyrgyz family, who will also give us a demonstration of the centuries-old art of silk craftsmanship. In the afternoon, we continue to the Chon-Kemin Valley, where our guesthouse awaits. Before dinner, we’ll have the chance to saddle up for our first horseback ride—a perfect way to experience nomadic life just as the locals have for generations.

The frozen lake of Ara-Kol

Today we set out to discover Kyrgyzstan’s wild beauty for the first time. Our morning takes us to the Kok-Moinok Canyon, where dramatic gorges and striking rock formations have been sculpted by nature into a breathtaking landscape. Surrounded by fresh mountain air and quiet serenity, our hike here is both invigorating and restorative.

Afterwards, we’ll stop in the village of Kochkor for lunch, enjoying authentic local dishes that showcase the heart of Kyrgyz cuisine. In the afternoon, we continue to the salt caves and the mystical Ara-Kol Lake, which remains partially frozen even in summer. The stillness of its icy waters, set against a backdrop of mountains, creates a surreal and unforgettable scene.

As the day draws to a close, we arrive in Naryn, a city nestled deep within the valleys of Kyrgyzstan’s mountainous interior. Here, a warm dinner and a well-deserved rest prepare us for the adventures still ahead.

Today, we'll have about a five-hour drive through Kyrgyzstan's breathtaking landscapes, including isolated valleys, snow-capped mountains, and endless steppes. Our destination is Köl-Suu, one of the country's most spectacular alpine lakes. During this time, the lake will be completely frozen, creating a unique and almost surreal winter atmosphere. If we're lucky, we might even spot some of the region's typical wildlife, such as agile ibex or majestic Marco Polo sheep. After exploring this natural wonder and breathing in the crystal-clear high-altitude air, we'll return to our guesthouse. The evening will be dedicated to relaxing and sharing the day's experiences, over a hot meal and in good company.

A day for true nomads

We wake up with hearts still full from the past days’ adventures, yet Kyrgyzstan has even more wonders in store. Our journey takes us toward Bokonbaevo, with a stop at the striking Ak-Sai Canyon. Its dramatic white cliffs stretch endlessly before us, framed by the snowy peaks that rise in the distance—a landscape both vast and humbling.

In the afternoon, we’ll meet a traditional eagle hunter, who will introduce us to his magnificent bird of prey. This centuries-old nomadic tradition, passed down from generation to generation, involves capturing an eagle when it is young, training it to hunt foxes and hares, and eventually releasing it back into the wild after 20 years. Witnessing this practice is both awe-inspiring and deeply moving.

For the night, we’ll stay in a yurt—the iconic felt dwelling of the nomads, so integral to Kyrgyz culture that it is even depicted on the national flag. Under its warm roof, we’ll experience the essence of Kyrgyz hospitality in the most authentic way.

Fairy Tale Canyon and the city of Karakol

Today is dedicated entirely to nature’s artistry. Traveling along the southern shore of the vast Lake Issyk-Kul, we arrive at Skazka Canyon—whose name means “fairy tale” in Russian. True to its name, the canyon is filled with fantastical rock formations sculpted by the wind over centuries into surreal shapes. We’ll wander through its passages, uncovering the most unusual and surprising formations hidden within.

Our journey continues to the legendary Jety Oguz Gorge, or “Seven Bulls”. Here, seven towering red cliffs stand side by side, their shapes resembling a herd of charging bulls—a dramatic and iconic sight of Kyrgyzstan’s landscape.

By evening, we reach Karakol, our base for the next two nights. After days of snow, ice, and crisp mountain air, we’ll have the perfect chance to unwind: a soothing soak in the local hot springs, letting the warmth melt away the chill and restore our energy.

We spend the day exploring Karakol, known as the gateway to Asia and once a vital stop for caravans along the ancient Silk Road. This history is reflected in the city’s landmarks, such as the striking Russian Orthodox Church, built entirely of wood without a single nail, and the elegant Dungane Mosque, with its pagoda-style architecture—a unique symbol of the region’s cultural diversity.

Of course, no day here would be complete without a touch of nature. We’ll ascend to a panoramic viewpoint at over 3,000 meters, where sweeping views of mountains and valleys remind us why Kyrgyzstan is called the land of nomads and peaks.

In the evening, we’ll head to the nearby village of Ichke-Jergez for a truly authentic experience. Welcomed into a local home, we’ll learn how to bake bread in a traditional tandoor oven, a cornerstone of Kyrgyz cuisine. As the warm, fragrant bread emerges from the flames, we’ll share not just a meal, but a piece of Kyrgyz culture itself.

We’re nearly at the end of the trip, so it’s time to head back to the capital. But we’re doing it in style – cruising along the northern shore of Lake Ysykköl, the second-largest alpine lake in the world, surrounded by the jaw-dropping snowy peaks of the Tien Shan mountains. Expect plenty of photo stops – you’ll want them!We stop in Cholpon Ata for lunch, and if we’re up for it, we check out the Rukh Ordu Park – an open-air museum celebrating Kyrgyz traditions and religions. Back in Bishkek, it’s time to chill or squeeze in some last-minute shopping before our final dinner together… and one last toast to this epic adventure.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

About Kyrgyzstan

What are the entry requirements for Kyrgyzstan?

If you are a UK citizen, to find out the entry requirements for Kyrgyzstan, you can check this informational page from our partner Sherpa. If you need a visa, you can apply for it through Sherpa. If you are not a UK citizen, you can still use Sherpa by changing the nationality in the 'Passport' section.

Before traveling, always remember to check the government website of your country of origin for updates on the entry requirements for Kyrgyzstan – you wouldn’t want to stay home due to a bureaucratic detail!

What's the time zone in Kyrgyzstan?

Kyrgyzstan is in the Kyrgyzstan Time Zone, which is 6 hours ahead of the UK. So, if it is 12pm in the UK, it will be 6pm in Kyrgyzstan. If you are in the USA, the time difference will depend on your specific location. If it is 12pm Eastern Time, it will be 10pm in Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan does not observe daylight saving time, so the time difference remains consistent throughout the year.

Which currency is used in Kyrgyzstan?

The currency used in Kyrgyzstan is the Kyrgyzstani Som (KGS). The exchange rate can vary, but as a rough guide:

  • 1 GBP is approximately 115 KGS
  • 1 USD is around 87 KGS
  • 1 EUR is about 100 KGS

You can exchange currency at banks, exchange offices, or at the airport for convenience.

How can I pay in Kyrgyzstan?

Cash and card payments are both widely accepted in Kyrgyzstan. Credit and debit cards, especially Visa and Mastercard, are commonly used in larger cities like Bishkek. However, in smaller towns and rural areas, you might find that cash is still preferred. ATMs are available in urban areas for you to withdraw local currency if needed. Always have some cash on hand for markets or small vendors.

Do I need to tip in Kyrgyzstan?

Tipping in Kyrgyzstan is not a common practice, but it's appreciated if you receive excellent service. In restaurants, you might want to leave a small tip around 5 to 10 percent of the bill if you feel satisfied with the service. In taxis, rounding up the fare is a nice gesture, but not necessary. For tour guides and hotel staff, a small tip is appreciated but not expected. Always tip in the local currency, Kyrgyzstani Som, and hand it directly to the person you're tipping.

What's the internet like in Kyrgyzstan? Should I buy a SIM card? How available is Wi-Fi?

In Kyrgyzstan, buying a local SIM card is a good idea if you want to stay connected. You can purchase a SIM card from major providers like Beeline, O!, or Megacom at the airport or in the city. They offer affordable data plans.

Wi-Fi is available in most urban areas, especially in cafes, restaurants, and hotels, but it might be less reliable in rural regions. For consistent internet access, a local SIM card is recommended.

What language do they speak in Kyrgyzstan?

In Kyrgyzstan, the primary languages spoken are Kyrgyz and Russian. Kyrgyz is the official state language, while Russian is widely used in government and business. You might find these colloquial expressions useful:

  • Hello: "Салам" (Salam)
  • Thank you: "Рахмат" (Rakhmat)
  • Please: "Суранам" (Suranam)
  • Yes: "Ооба" (Ooba)
  • No: "Жок" (Zhok)
What kind of plugs are used in Kyrgyzstan?

In Kyrgyzstan, the electrical plugs are of type C and F. The standard voltage is 220 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz. These plugs are similar to the ones used in many European countries, but they are different from those in the UK and USA. We recommend you bring a universal adapter if your devices use a different plug type to ensure all your electronics can be charged without any issues.

What’s the main religion in Kyrgyzstan?

In Kyrgyzstan, the main religion is Islam, with the majority of the population being Sunni Muslims. When visiting, especially in rural areas or during religious holidays, we recommend you dress modestly, particularly women.

Important religious holidays include:

  • Ramadan, which is a month of fasting
  • Eid al-Fitr, a festival marking the end of Ramadan

Keep in mind that during Ramadan, some restaurants may have reduced hours.

What should I pack for Kyrgyzstan?

Kyrgyzstan offers stunning landscapes and diverse weather, so packing smart is key. Here's a handy list to help you get your backpack ready:

  • Clothing:
    • Lightweight layers for varying temperatures
    • Warm jacket for chilly nights
    • Comfortable hiking pants
    • T-shirts and long-sleeve shirts
    • A hat for sun protection
  • Shoes:
    • Sturdy hiking boots for mountain trails
    • Comfortable sneakers for city exploration
    • Sandals for relaxing days

Prepare for a mix of outdoor adventures and cultural experiences with this packing list!

What’s the weather like in Kyrgyzstan?

Kyrgyzstan's weather can vary significantly depending on the region:

  • Bishkek and the Chuy Valley: Mild winters with temperatures around freezing, and hot, dry summers reaching up to 35°C. Spring and autumn are mild and pleasant.
  • Issyk-Kul Lake: The lake moderates the climate, with milder winters and cooler summers, making it a popular year-round destination.
  • Naryn and At-Bashi: These areas are colder, with long, harsh winters and cool, short summers.
  • High Mountain Regions: Expect cold conditions year-round, with snow in the winter and cool temperatures in the summer.

The best time to visit Kyrgyzstan is from June to September when the weather is warm and ideal for outdoor activities.

About WeRoad

Is the flight included?

Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.

Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!

What is the Money Pot and how does it work?

This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!

The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. 

It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group. 

It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.

You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.

The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.

It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.

It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.

If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.

The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.

If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.

Which are the accepted payment methods?

We offer several payment methods to fit every need:

1. Credit or prepaid card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express);
2. Instalment payment with Scalapay up to €4,999 (only available with the “Full trip payment” option – not available with the “Deposit and balance” option; pay in 3 instalments up to €1,200 or in 4 instalments over €1,200);
3. PayPal (for selected destinations);
4. Revolut Pay to pay even faster straight from your Revolut account;
5. Welfare credit – BEFORE BOOKING, reach out to us at [email protected].

If you choose the deposit and balance option, you’ll also be able to pay the balance via bank transfer from your Personal Area.

Can I cancel or modify my booking?

Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. (Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.) If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.

If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option. Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.

You can do it directly from your personal MyWeRoad account!
 
Within your booking you will find the "Change Your Trip" section at the bottom right, just underneath your booking details. You will be able to select a different date for the same trip, or a different trip entirely. Whether you are able to change the trip depends on the cancellation terms of your booking. For your original booking if you selected the Private Room, Flexible Cancellation or entered any discount code, gift card or voucher, before confirming the change we will let you know if anything isn't applicable to the new trip and you can decide whether to proceed or not. If you have any issues please do get in touch with the WeRoad team and we'll be able to help. 
 
It's not possible to move to a 'sold out' trip and with any trips that are 'on request' we will need to check availability with our local partners so please do get in touch if you want to move to an 'on request' trip. Please bear in mind that if the trip has the 'final spots' status, there may be no places left in either the male or female room.

How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.

What type of accommodation should I expect on your trips?

In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.

For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.

The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!

Why do we have the Money Pot on all WeRoad trips?

If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!

Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group. 

But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements! 

It also helps us speed up payments – imagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.

In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants. 

The amount of the money pot is specified in each trip – look for this button

which will take you to a detailed breakdown for each trip, like this:

Can I find out my travel groups' flights?

Even if we don't know the flights of all WeRoaders, there are several ways to find out which flights your travel companions have purchased.

1. Each WeRoader has the ability to communicate their flight details after booking within their personal area so that other travel companions can see the details anonymously. Enter your booking and you will find this section:
[Screenshot]

2. If you want to find out before booking, instead, you can contact us and we will support you in your search or you can ask your travel companions for direct information by joining our Facebook group 'WeRoad... let's get to know each other before leaving! (official)' – (here is the extended link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weroadit) look for a post associated with your trip, or ask the group administrators for help in getting in touch with your future adventure companions!

If the coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you are interested in, you can easily find his/her presentation post in the group through the site: in the shift list click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip tab, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator name] about this shift in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!

[screenshot]

 



What's the average size and age of a WeRoad group?

In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.

On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.

All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curious to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can see this by finding the trip on our website, and clicking the down arrow to see the ages & genders of participants. You'll need to have created a WeRoad account with us to do this.

Any issues finding this info just give our team in the office a call, we're always happy to help! 

Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.  

Can I see who’s in the group before I book the trip?

Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking – although, in our opinion, that kind of spoils the surprise! You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked. Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!

If a location is mentioned, is it guaranteed that we’ll spend the night there?
For some trips, in the itinerary section, you’ll find the number of nights and the location (not the hotel) where you’ll be spending the night(s). The location shown is the one we usually go for on most trips, but in some cases, you might end up staying in a nearby town — depending on logistics or the availability of our partner accommodations during the season.
 
The list of accommodations for your trip (and therefore also the exact locations) will be shared by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 2 days before departure, along with other useful info for your adventure!
Who is and what does the Travel Coordinator do?

The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!

You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.

Will I share the room?

Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.

There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.

During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.

How can I be part of the community?

When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.

But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
