Alа-Archa Adventure and Kayaking on the Chu River

Ala-Archa Adventure and Kayaking on the Chu River

This unique one-day adventure begins early in the morning, when our guide picks you up from your hotel in Bishkek and takes you straight to the heart of the Tian Shan mountains — Ala-Archa National Park. Within just an hour of driving, you'll be breathing the purest mountain air! Our immersion into the mountains starts from the legendary Alplager (Mountaineer's Camp), from where we will take an easy yet incredibly scenic walk. You will enjoy breathtaking panoramic views, take stunning photos against the backdrop of majestic snow-capped peaks and coniferous forests, and most importantly, feel the true silence and power of the mountains, allowing you to completely "recharge."

After rest and a light snack in the mountains (food is not included, but you can grab a bite at the Alplager or bring a packed lunch), we will switch gears to the water element! We will travel by comfortable transport to the Chu River for the next part of our adventure — kayaking. Under the guidance of an experienced water instructor, you will quickly master the kayak. For the trip, we have chosen the calmest and safest section of the river, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy the easy paddling while soaking in the picturesque banks of the Chuy Valley. It will be a perfect meditation on the water, where you feel completely at one with the gentle current.

By evening, full of vibrant impressions from conquering the mountains and navigating the river, you will return to Bishkek. The trip cost is 250 Euros for two people, which includes transfers, the accompaniment of two guides (land and water), entrance tickets to the national park, the rental of all water equipment, and a bottle of water per person. Please note that an extra spot (third and subsequent participants) is subject to an additional charge of 25 Euros per person, and meals are not included in the price. Don't forget to bring comfortable hiking shoes, a head covering, sunscreen, and clothes you don't mind getting wet during the paddle. Book now and treat yourself to a day filled with genuine emotion!
