What travellers are saying
- wandermustDubai, United Arab Emirates65 contributionsAn hour drive from Bishkek, it’s a beautiful place to hike a bit and soak into the beautiful views of Kyrgystan landscape. Lovely spot for families or friends to gather and do bbq with the beautiful mountains and river in the backgroundWritten 13 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Juliet RBudapest, Hungary364 contributionsOne of the best winter trips I have ever taken. As a single female traveler always traveling solo, I was apprehensive about a snowy winter hike up a canyon. My tour guide was simply amazing. Mars was everything I could have asked for to feel secure & adventurous. First though, I have to say, my flight to Bishkek was diverted to Almaty due to snow & ice weather so I thought I would forfeit my tour. After speaking with Mars, he assured me that as I was the only participant for the day, he would await my flight. I arrived in Bishkek, 3 hours later and he was waiting.
It was an exciting drive in the snow to the Canyon and a great hike up & back. He had a surprise tea on the peak overlooking the canyon, as well as brief stops at an excellent local eatery where I sampled delicious local meal & tea.
I would highly recommend this tour with him.Written 6 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our fixer Timur got us there and back handily and helped us find some amazing day hikes while we were there in summer 2017. There was so much wildlife around, beautiful waterfalls, contrasting rolling hills covered in thick forest and well marked paths. It seems to be a popular hiking spot for many locals and tourists alike and we liked it too.Written 1 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- gentbruggMoscow2,275 contributionsFrom the highway, built by the Chinese, Boom gorge does not look impressive. On the part of Balykchi it is generally very wide, with rather sloping folds. Although from here you can see three massive mountain ranges.The most beautiful plot is located about half way from Tokmok to Balykchy where suddenly appear multi-colored rocks - this is the beginning of a long canyon Suluu-Terek, one of the most beautiful places to which from the road you must pass 5-7 km away. Here is the famous Red bridge and a walkway to the beautiful Konorchek canyons. And generally beauty of the gorge is better to look closer to the Chu river, not to the road. Although the landscape is somewhat diversified by railway tracks. They are used, but only in summer. It is rather a sightseeing attraction, because the train goes on the tracks 8 hours, while for the car is enough only three.Written 10 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JGDynamoCanada2,084 contributionsWe hiked up the Ak-Sai Glacier last summer when we were in the area. We have hiked glaciers before in the Rocky Mountains and they are always fairly easy hikes but still one must be wary as it is nature and she likes to play with you. Come prepared and anticipate it will take you the better part of the day, bring your camera as you will be surrounded by beauty, your camera will never do it justice but nice to have the visual to go with the memories.Written 1 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- IranPlateauTehran, Iran48 contributionsthere is both technical and normal routs on this 4000 peak but in both you need crampons and ice ax.Written 12 November 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JGDynamoCanada2,084 contributionsHeaded to the Bir-Bulak Gorge on the recommendation of some friends of ours and we were not disappointed. It is beautiful and probably lovely any time of year but when we were there in August 2017 it was radiant! Everything in summer bloom, buzz of wildlife and some immaculate scenery, this really is a truly beautiful country, around every corner is another breathtaking vista. Anyway, the hike was rewarding and not complicated but always be prepared.Written 1 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TAMAN1951Liberty Lake, WA8,446 contributionsVery well maintained park.
Beautiful forest and breathtaking landscapes.

Many places to stop and rest while taking in the scenery.
Wildlife is cute as well.Written 13 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There was 15 people and we all showed up and went trekking for a few hours and had lunch and came back. I looked it up on line later and found out that a person can trek from Shamsi gorge all the way to Kochkor and then to Song-Kol. This would be a fun tour to do on horseback next time.Written 18 April 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alex_Johnson_BishkekBishkek, Kyrgyzstan873 contributionsTashtar-Ata is an intresting place where tourists can see very old Kyrgyz Culture. It was explained to me that it was a spiritual place where people can find them self. There is huge stones where people beleave that these stones will heal severe illness, drug addiction. A person has to climb on the small mountain and then leave the stone on top of the pile to let go of someones health problems.
I had a nice time going there just so that I could get out of the city. I took my bike and it was an bit of a strange place. It would be nice if there was more information there, such as sign boards or marketing handouts.Written 3 March 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

the Netherlands for one week last May. Since I did not know where to start, a friend of mine, with roots in Bishkek, recommended me to talk to Larisa and gave me her number. Larisa and I talked about the possibilities via WhatsApp and she organised the perfect tailor made one week itinerary for me. Everything was excellent. The knowledgeable local guides, the safe and comfortable transportation, the great accommodations, excellent food and amazing activities and sights. The week was a dream come true and and I can really recommend Larisa for helping any future travellers visiting the region, for helping you achieve the perfect experience. Five stars without hesitation. Thank you so much Larisa and team 🙏🏼

All communication excellent and within a day provided us with two itinerary options. After booking all questions answered very quickly. Our driver Marazat was perfect. Great English, very knowledgeable and fun to be with for 5 days. He made our trip better than anything we could have hoped for!! Both of these lakes are must see if you have time. They are both beyond description and 100% worth going to. Don’t hesitate to reach out to Daniiar at Boogoo Travel, you’ll be glad you did 😀Written 10 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
