- Days 1-2
Bishkek & Osh
Fly from Bishkek to Osh (963m) and climb the sacred Suleiman-Too Mountain. It's a quick 30-minute hike to catch the sunset from the viewpoint at 1,092m. On Day 2 you'll start driving along the Pamir Highway to Base Camp. The route includes the winding Taldyk Pass (3,600m) so bring motion sickness pills.
- Days 3-4
Edelweiss Meadow Base Camp (3,600m)
Take two full days to adjust to the altitude at Base Camp. You can walk to Lukovaya Meadow (3,800m) and check out the bright turquoise lakes in Achik-Tash Valley. The area is full of marmots and mountain birds so pack binoculars. You'll sleep in either heated tents or traditional yurts with real beds.

10 Days in Kyrgyzstan, incl. Bishkek and Karakol
The Kyrgyz landscape reveals itself over 10 days across 9 destinations for around $2,600. Bishkek opens to Ala-Archa National Park's trails, Burana Tower's history, and Son-Kul Lake's yurt camps. Issyk Kul Lake, Karakol's landmarks, and Barskoon Gorge's waterfalls showcase nomadic traditions.
- Days 1-2
Bishkek & Ala-Archa
Start in Bishkek, arriving before noon to explore the Soviet-style capital. Your first stops should be Ala-Too Square and Oak Park. Pack clothing layers since Bishkek gets hot but mountain temperatures change often. On Day 2, head to Ala-Archa National Park for a rewarding hike to Ak-Sai waterfall at 9,200ft. Get an early start to beat the heat and wear solid hiking boots with good ankle support for the rocky paths.
- Days 3-4
Chon Kemin & Lake Issyk Kul
Take a 3-hour drive to see the historic Burana Tower, then continue to Chon Kemin Valley. You can do an afternoon ridge hike with valley views at 6,500ft. The next day, check out the impressive red Konorchek Canyons before driving to Lake Issyk Kul through Boom Gorge. Stop at Cholpon-Ata's open-air petroglyph gallery. Bring water and sun protection since there isn't much shade.
- Days 5-6
Karakol & Southern Shore
Stay in Karakol to explore Jergalan Valley, which sits among seven peaks. The hike to Turnaluu-Kol lake goes up to 8,530ft. Take it slow and drink plenty of water. Next day brings a 6-hour scenic drive along Issyk Kul's southern shore. You'll stop at Djety Oguz Gorge and Barskoon waterfall before ending in Kochkor to watch traditional felt-making.
- Days 7-8
Son-Kul Lake
Drive to Son-Kul Lake over the 10,800ft Kalmak-Ashuu Pass. The road is bumpy but the scenery makes up for it. You'll sleep in traditional yurt camps used by local shepherds. The facilities are basic but authentic. As one visitor shared: "Bring a good sleeping bag – nights at Son-Kul can drop below freezing, but watching the stars above the lake while sipping kumis with local families made it all worthwhile."
