Where the roads go

The places our routes are built around, from lakes above 3,000 metres to the red canyons of Issyk-Kul's south shore. All 7 destinations

Kyrgyzstan, driven by people who live here

Most of Kyrgyzstan's best places are at the end of a gravel road: high lakes, summer pastures, a caravanserai on the old Silk Road. We drive those roads every season, so you can spend the trip looking out of the window instead of at a map.

  • Private 4×4 and a local driver

    Your own vehicle and a driver who knows every pass, river crossing and roadside lunch stop.

  • Small groups, your pace

    Usually 1 to 6 travellers. Stop for photos, add a horse ride, skip a museum.

  • Routes we can tailor

    Every itinerary can be shortened, extended or combined. Tell us your dates and we'll shape it.

  • One person to talk to

    You plan the trip directly with the owner, not a call centre, from first message to last day.
