Amazing guide - and a hard walk. - Had a wonderful trip. It’s such a beautiful area. Be aware the walk is hard - but worth it. At the starting point some small shops are available. Mostly coffee, tea and cold drinks. Most accept card, but bring small change for toilet. Our guide and driver where great. Especially our guide Aki was truly amazing and ensured we had a perfect time.

Amazing Day at Ala Archa - A wonderful day trip to Ala Archa to hike to broken rock. The hike was about 2 hours up, a good challenge. Our guide Medina was professional, organized and fun to be around. My friend stayed behind within the park complex where there are many coffee shops and places to stroll and relax. Followed by a delicious lunch at a local restaurant where we had the best beef samsa.

Great winter hike! - Had a wonderful time hiking in the snow in February. Ala Archa is truly beautiful and is amazingly close to Bishkek - it only took about half an hour to get to the park from the city. Overall, it was great way to spend the day, and Boca was a fantastic guide. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend!! - I had a really great time and highly recommend this day tour. The national park is beautiful, the walk is catered to your fitness level (we did ~10km over a few hours), and the pick up and drop off were seamless and comfortable. Abdi was an excellent and interesting guide, thank you so much!! Thank you as well to Rahim who was our driver.

Good company - The company was perfect. But I chose a place for the family's outdoor. If I chose different places it might be better....
