Winter ballad

What awaits you

Let’s make the white adventure more extensive! Well wrapped up and eager to enjoy it, Kyrgyzstan in winter gives a lot to do. The itinerary includes a day of skiing in the country’s magnificent ski resorts near Bishkek or in Karakol. We will see an impressive ice waterfall near Bishkek, villages that existed before the communist revolution with mud houses where we will ski, skate on the ice of a river … do not you believe it? Wait, there is still much more. Have you heard of Tash Rabat, a caravanserai several hundred years old at an altitude of over 3000 meters? Here, the nomads of the silk road told their daily lives by the light of a good fire… We will see impossible rock formations, yurt camps or a church that has not used a single nail for its construction. Shall we take you?
