## Itinerary

### Day 1: Bishkek to Ala-Archa and Chunkurchak and back

We collect you at your hotel and ask how you want the day to feel: more nature, more activities or a mix. The plan follows your answer. It is about an hour to Ala-Archa, and your guide talks about the Tien Shan and local life as the city fades.

We leave the car and take a local shuttle bus deeper into Ala-Archa Gorge. Choose an easy river walk, a moderate hike to a viewpoint or the tougher trail toward Ak-Sai Waterfall. The optional cable car gives you the views without the effort, and birds and squirrels may come to eat from your hand.

Next we drive on to Chunkurchak Gorge, where the land opens into alpine meadows and wide valleys. You walk across the Sky Bridge and visit Pigeon Waterfall, with time for photos at your own pace. Horse riding, archery or a zipline are there if you want more action.

We also stop at Supara Chunkurchak, one of the best-known ethno-complexes in Kyrgyzstan. You can rest here and have lunch with a mountain view, paid on the spot. At the end of the day we drive you back to your hotel in Bishkek.

- Transfer: Bishkek to Ala-Archa · 1 h, then on to Chunkurchak
