FAQ

Frequently asked questions about transfer Almaty — Bishkek

We've gathered what tourists ask most often. Didn't find an answer. — write to us, the guide will tell you in a couple of minutes.

Ask a question

The price per person already includes transfer from the city and back, guide accompaniment, and entrance tickets to national parks. Meals and accommodation for multi-day tours are listed separately in the program.

For sightseeing and day trips (Charyn, BAO, Medeu), no preparation is needed—anyone can handle it. For trekking at Kok-Zhaylau or Kolsai, basic stamina is required; most tourists without experience can manage the route.

It is cooler in the mountains than in the city, so take a windbreaker and comfortable shoes even in summer. The guide will send a specific packing list for your tour via WhatsApp after booking.

Yes, we take children with parents on sightseeing excursions and day trips. For mountain trekking, we recommend age 10 and up—we will suggest a suitable route.

We monitor road and pass conditions in advance. If the departure is impossible as planned, we will offer an alternative direction on the same date or reschedule the booking without losing the prepayment.

Write to us on WhatsApp—we will select a tour, send the program and price. The booking is confirmed after prepayment via Kaspi or card; the remaining amount is paid before departure.
