Full Day in Nature at Chunkurchak and Ala Archa National Park

This was one of the best day trips we’ve ever done. The scenery in Chunkurchak and Ala Archa National Park is absolutely breathtaking – mountains and endless views. Our guide was fantastic: very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about nature. We really appreciated the interesting explanations, the relaxed pace, and the great atmosphere throughout the day. A wonderful experience – thank you, Datka Travel!

Great tour! Adelbek was a great guide too! I particularly recommend hiking to the broken heart in ala archa national Park.. it takes maybe an hour up and half an hour down so it not that difficult but quite beautiful. If people have a hard time climbing then can also just walk along the river trail for an hour or something which is quite nice too..If possible I also recommend waking up early to get the first bus at the national park parking lot around 8am to go to the hiking trail as cars are not allowed inside the national park and it will not be crowded like later in the day and there is a higher chance of seeing wildlife as I saw a herd of ibex right along the traiI ..I also can recommend the kashka suu chairlift ride nearby for more great views.. It was open 11am to 4pm the day I was there so worked perfectly to do the broken heart hike first.. For people who did not do city tour of Bishkek yet I would recommend doing the national Park in the morning and then city tour in the afternoon for a great full day tour skipping Chunkurchak which is nice but not really necessary if doing the national park..

I really liked that this company is the only one offering both locations in one tour, so it felt like something special and well thought out. The guide was super nice, shared lots of interesting info, and kept everything easy and fun. We started our day at Ala Archa National Park, and it was just stunning — fresh mountain air and lush nature all around. We also hiked up to the Broken Heart Rock to take in the breathtaking views. After that, we headed to Chunkurchak Gorge, which felt peaceful and less crowded, with beautiful open landscapes. We even did a short ride on the zipline, followed by a lovely late lunch at Supara restaurant, sampling local delicacies. A perfect day trip from Bishkek if you want to experience the best of Kyrgyzstan’s nature in one go!

We were as a group in Septembar for a couple of days in Bishkek. We entrusted all our activities to Datka Travel, from the organizacione of transport from and to the airport, to Two one-day excursions. I recommend that agency, they are incredibly well organized. New vehicle, friendly driver and quides. Rating 10/10

A very well planned and excellent one day trip overall. Highly recommended the horseriding experience at Ala Archa. Farukh is an excellent guide who always takes the initiative to help us take photos and videos. We could always stop at places for the duration we wanted and explored the places at our own place. What came as a surprise was that Farukh brought us around to a few mosques around bishkek city at the end of the trip (which were all beyond the planned itinerary of the tour).

The tourist agreed opportunity to see a beautiful forest and scenery, as well as historical sites. Very glad we went.

We couldn't have asked for more. Gorgeous scenery. Sumptuous lunch at Supara. Baiaman was a wonderful guide. Always patient and with those nuggets of information that made our day trip that bit more interesting.

The mountains of Ala-Archa are amazingly beautiful, and worth exploring. I selected three stars as we didn't get to see parts of the itinerary (Ata Beit memorial, and Supara Chunchurchak resort, which were both closed on Monday). The agency should have informed us about this in advance. The driver was very nice, but the car's seat belts were not functioning, and he was not fully briefed about the itinerary.

Talgat of Datka Travel arranged my tour with guide Farukh. Talgat has been very helpful and efficient in organizing. Farukh was very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the Skybridge, ziplining, cable car ride and the walk through the gorgeous Ala Archa NP. Thoroughly enjoyable day.

A great day trip from Bishkek and to experience the Tien Shan mountain range as well as get some exercise with a hike up to a viewpoint where you see the surrounding mountains and valley below
