The dazzling winter hike at the Ala Archa National Park
Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan
Enjoy the snowy wonderland at this hiking gem! The Ala Archa National Park is truly a hiking paradise near the capital city (38km). It was established in 1976 by the Soviet government to serve as a natural habitat to many species of animals, a site for alpinism and healthy leisure.The altitude above sea level here ranges from 2000 to 4000 meters and a large number of trekking paths lead their ways high up the mountains to glaciers and waterfalls. A lovely hike out in nature and an acquaintance with our culture at a national restaurant afterwards - all you need to spend one of your vacation days!
Description
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Ala-Archa Gorge, Bishkek Kyrgyzstan
In the morning after pickup from a hotel we’ll head to Ala Archa straight away. The road will take us around 50 minutes. When you get to the park you’ll be given a pair of trekking poles to start the hike with your guide at the foot of a mountain. Our aim is to reach the Ak Sai waterfall (4km) or if it will seem too long for you, to the Broken Heart point (2km). Along the laid trail to the destination you’ll have some stops to enjoy a breathtaking view of the mountains, coniferous forests and river. When you reach the waterfall you’ll have a time up there to walk around and take some stunning pictures. Descending down. Return to Bishkek. On the way back to the city we invite you to have a complimentary lunch at the national restaurant just to get a slight idea of the Kyrgyz cuisine. That’s gonna be delicious, you’ll bet! Drop off at a hotel upon arrival in Bishkek. End of the tour. Have a beautiful evening!
