Certainly, Kyrgyzstan is a unique country, with a national character, wonderful nature, in some places reminiscent of the Mongolian Altai, in others - Switzerland. We definitely recommend visiting. It seemed to us that the country is a little underestimated by Russian tourists.
Certainly, this trip would not have happened without Anatoly Zhidkov, the man who developed the route and was our guide. We were definitely very lucky! We travel quite a lot and in our internal "guide rating" he firmly took first place. Patient, calm, caring, with a great sense of humor - he created a warm atmosphere in our small group. Evening gatherings, joint games, conversations ... Anatoly is a great storyteller, he knows a lot about Kyrgyzstan and was happy to share information. And how many questions we asked - and almost every one received a detailed answer. So this is definitely not the case when the guide is on his own wave and only leads the group from one place to another, as sometimes happens. Anatoly, thank you very much) We are waiting for another route around Kyrgyzstan from you. Invite us - we will join with great pleasure))
Organization of the trip at the highest level: hotels, food, transport and especially accompanying persons. I would like to note and thank each and every person involved in our trip: Andrey on Sakhalin, who had a wonderful sightseeing and excursion to Tikhaya Bay; on Kunashir Alexey and Andrey, who made each of the 5 days on the island unique, Alina Ivanovna and Galina, who fed us varied and home-cooked meals; Alexandra on Iturup, who carefully took us on his cartoon bus and conveyed his love for the island. I would also like to mention the manager Maria, who knows everything about the trip in detail. Overall, Strannik and Omega Plus are the best! I'm already planning my next trips.
The tour program is very rich, including the most top places in Altai to the maximum. I would especially like to highlight the hike to the Uchar waterfall, the trip to the Multinsky Lakes and the Aktru glacier. Many thanks to Yulia and Alexey for the most comfortable accompaniment. Travel with Strannik, the best guides are here!
The food was very plentiful, tasty, national. I miss our friendly group and the fascinating nature of Kyrgyzstan! Who wants a fairy tale - come on this tour!
I would especially like to mention our guide from the Buryat side, Alena. Very attentive, sociable, will help with everything. She didn’t leave us until the last moment. This is the Strannik's gold fund.
You should definitely try the gooseberry jam in Bolshiye Koty, it’s delicious. We had a good friendly group, probably lucky. I’m also going to winter Baikal to look at the transparent ice
The trip to Uzbekistan turned out to be bright and sunny, like the country itself. Thousands of color photographs, a sea of smiles and pleasant fatigue. Mountains and cities, ancient history and modern technology, sandy steppe and turquoise lake, sunrises, sunsets and a shining crescent in a star-strewn sky. A week at the Wanderer’s place is always close to a whole month of impressions) It was interesting, welcoming and very tasty!
Thanks for everyone at Strannik for your work and incredible positivity! With you, we can safely and reliably go on new adventures!
