This journey through Kyrgyzstan completely changed and greatly expanded everything I thought I knew about the country! I am so grateful to Nina, the manager, who suggested combining this tour with the Pamir tour. Thanks to that, I experienced two very different sides of Kyrgyzstan and came away with an incredible range of emotions, impressions and knowledge. The Grand Journey itinerary is wonderfully balanced, and Anatoly and the team did an outstanding job! The very first thing that comes to mind is the 50 "shades" of the mountains))) I have never seen such an incredible variety anywhere else! Deep red, rounded mountains that somehow reminded me of the Grand Canyon. Lush green slopes covered in vibrant grass and fragrant flowers. Snowy peaks, rugged and dramatic. Soft, velvety hills and countless other landscapes. My eyes, and my phone, could barely keep up with it all. I felt as though I had stepped into a fairy tale. I arrived with modest expectations but left with an overwhelming collection of wonderfully diverse, yet always positive, emotions.
The second thing was the food. Lots of food... soooo much food, sometimes even too much)))) But it was always delicious, hearty and varied. I especially remember the Dungan dinner!
And the third thing, though certainly not the least important, was the people. They were so warm, welcoming, caring and generous, always happy to share their knowledge and make you fall in love with their country. Thank you! Come and fall in love with Kyrgyzstan, just as I did. I'm sure it will surprise you in the best possible way.
My overall impression of the journey was exceptionally positive, and it exceeded all my expectations. The itinerary was perfectly balanced: the wild, untouched landscapes of the first few days gradually gave way to the comfort and incredible atmosphere of Lake Issyk-Kul. The high level of organisation, from seamless logistics and excellent accommodation to delightful culinary surprises in the middle of the trek, made the entire trip feel effortless and thoroughly enjoyable. A huge thank you to the whole team for your professionalism, care and for creating such unforgettable memories!
This journey exceeded all expectations and left me with the brightest memories! The organisation was outstanding, with every detail carefully thought through. Thank you for this unforgettable adventure and for the care and attention you showed us throughout the entire trip!
