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!

I truly recommend SUV tour. Everything was well organized. The guide Chingiz was professional, friendly and flexible to our needs. Ww were not properly equipped for the long trekking and the guide proposed us an alternative itinerary which was amazing as well. We will come back to Almaty region to visit other beautiful places and we will use SUV tour again

We’ll spend a few days taking part in eagle hunting demonstrations, learning how to build a yurt and checking out some traditional folklore shows. Afterwards it’s onto Karakol, with a detour through the rock formations at Fairytale Canyon and the Seven Bulls.

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

Easy and highly supportive booking by mail. Nice driver/guide with very good knowledge of Bishkek. Extremely reliabe, always on time, or earlier. I used the company also for airport transfers . It was a good decision, as it was relatively cheap, and one could avoid all the bad airport hassle with taxi drivers.

Kyrgyzstan is a land-locked country in Central Asia, located along the ancient Silk Road, a crossroad for people of various origins and traditions, yet the prevailing culture is that of a nomadic lifestyle shaped by the natural surroundings. Kyrgyz shepherds move around with their flocks of animals according to seasons, living in tent-like homes called yurts; there’s a saying that goes “only in death, when he is buried, that a Kyrgyz stops wandering”. Kyrgyzstan rewards visitors with unspoiled nature, hospitality, and free spirit of nomadic traditions. In summer, high plateau pastures (jailoo) and lakesides are dotted with nomad tents, it is the best season to experience nomad lifestyle.

Went on a private tour with my family, 6 of us in 2 four-wheel drives. Mas and Tahir were friendly, helpful and organised, and ensured that our trip went smoothly without a hitch. The hotel and restaurant bookings were part of the package. We tried the local cuisine, including horse milk! Mas and Tahir also prepared wonderful picnic lunches for us to enjoy in the valleys. Some of the lodgings were tied to unforgettable experiences such as horse riding through the mountainous areas of Chon Kemin. Staying in yurts was an eye-opening experience for sure. We were also very fortunate to watch the Nomadic Games, which attracted many locals in beautiful traditional outfits. I am in awe of the untouched beauty Kyrgyzstan has to offer (Jety Oguz, Issyk Kul) and will definitely want to visit Kyrgyzstan with Atlas’ experienced tour guide Mas.

a private trip for 6 of us , in 2 large confortable four wheels drive cars, we experienced Kyrgyzstan, coached by Mars and Tahal , our host and our driver. from Bishkek where we had our first taste of loacal cusine , to our trip around the Karakul lac, we were blessed to be there during the Nomade games. Such a beauty , yurts in the plateau in high altitude, colorfull costumes , and horse acrobatics, were some of the events we had witnessed. Aside of the games, we wnet up mountains, stay in Yurts, have wonderful time in seclude lodges , and enjoyed horse ridding . Not to forget expereinced picknic prepared by our hosts , along a mountain stream , alone , just us , such a private trip. We went up high in the mountain, top of a sky resort, and we did that with the crew operating the lifts , kind enough to start the whole thing for just 6 of us. Unforgettable. I wish to many to try , hoping that these pristine places will remain so for a long time. Thanks Mars and Tahal, we will not forget you (how , we took more than photos) and hope that we may again come to this still virgin country
