This was a truly awesome experience. Our guides were absolutely wonderful. They were very kind and ensured we had the most wonderful time. Every stop we had with them was well worth the time. Many were just spectacular viewing. Skiing (for the first time ever in my life) and then sleeping in a Yurt was a not-to-be-missed experience. I would highly recommend this trip!

Feel Nomad is a great, professional, well-run company with reliable cars and english speaking guides who love to hike and explore as much as you do. I did the Canyons trip, along with extra days at Karakol and Ala Archa and it was all great. They were flexible with the itinerary based on my interests and mood, had great local knowledge, were able to setup yurt stays and guesthouse stays which typically would be harder for non Russian speakers to arrange, easy to talk to during the long drives, and best of all they were great at all the intense hiking Overall highly recommended specially if you want a nature/hiking/adventure focused tour when in Kyrgyzstan

We had booked a car with driver for 10 days from Osh to Bishkek (November 2019). When arranging our itinerary, Talant was very responsive to our emails, allowing for us to set up our trip with ease. Kuba was our driver and his friend, Muha, was there to help should we have any issues with snow covered roads in the Pamir Highway. We had the most remarkable tour with Kuba, who is not only an excellent driver but also speaks good English and has thorough knowledge of the region. During the trip, I unfortunately fell terribly ill, but Kuba went out of his way to drive me through the night (10 hours!) to the nearest hospital and acted as my translator/guide while I was being medically treated. After I recovered, he even took us back to where we had abruptly left the trip without any extra charge for himself. At every instance, we felt that Kuba and Muha truly cared about us and did their best to ensure that we had a memorable time. The trip itself, which not only included driving along the main Pamir Highway but also off-roading in eastern Tajikistan, was met with breath-taking views of the Pamir Mountains, immaculate lakes and beautiful pastures. Also, all homestays arranged for us were comfortable and the hosts were very welcoming. I would highly recommend using Visit Alay tours and having Kuba as their driver to anyone wanting an adventure of a lifetime – they will definitely deliver!

I've visited countries like Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, Canada and Maldives. But this was the first time for me, my wife and friends to visit countries in Central Asia. I'd like to say thank you to "New Way Service" and left me a smooth and impressive memory. No problem for us to enter these countries at all. I visited Almaty and Bishkek in June, early summer time, it was hot and dry in day time but a bit cool in night time. We stayed few days in Almaty and Bishkek city, we took the metro there and tried a lot of local food. And the most impressive thing was we took photos with hawk at the Kok-Tobe, highest point of the city in Almaty. Even though my friends wore thick gloves, he told me he still can feel the hawk grip his forearm. We took one day to the Fairy Tale Canyon, the landscape is so amazing and beautiful. I brought my new drone, Mavic air to there and took a lots of good things. Issyk-Kul Lake, it's a very relaxing place, the hostel is just few mins walking distance from the lake. Also, one funny thing was, we watched the first World Cup match there, Russia vs Saudi Arabia. The hostel owner, tour guide and we all supported Russian team and finally won. We enjoyed so much.

The Kyrgyz land is a place of the untouched wild nature where the people from ancient times still keep their traditions, customs, and culture. In the mountains, you can meet the modern nomads who do not change their lifestyle for centuries. Their simple life can go into the yurt, a felt house that Kyrgyz nomads set so skillfully and decorate it with such love by multi-colored carpets. A lot of incredible discoveries and positive impressions expect you during this trip.
