Itinerary Check: Two weeks in Kygyzstan + Kazakhstan
Hi folks,
I will be going to Kyrgyzstan in July and I wanted to see what do you think about my itinerary before I go. I did my research already but I would appreciate some feedback.
About me: Solo male below 30 on good shape. I have solo traveled around 50 countries already and I am used to walk a lot, being lost and kitchike. I have ridden a horse in the past but only for a few hours. I speak English but not Russian (apart from the very basics). My priorities traveling are photography, gastronomy, adventure and human connection (homestays and so). Not a party person. On a budget.
**Itinerary:**
1. Flight to Bishkek
2-3 Bishkek: Walk around the city on the first day and day trip to Ala-Archa on the second
\- Do you think it would be possible to make it to Kochkor after Ala-Archa. To sleep there already? Or better to stay in Bishkek?
4-6: Trip to Kochkor / Song-Kul. First questions arise:
\- Do you recommend to horse trek from Kochkor or to go straight to Song-Kul and do a one day horse trek once there? What is the best experience here?
\- Worth stayin more time?
\- Any tour recommendations?
7-8: Trip towards Karkol with stops at Skazka Canyon, Jeti-Ögüz and Kok Jaiyk. A little bit buffery so I may add or remove stops as needed
9: Buffer Day. Nothing gets planned so I can extend my previous/future stays if needed.
10-12: Three days hike to Ala-Kul
\- Any tour recommendations?
13: Trip to Almaty by bus
\- Basically I am going over Kazakhstan to avoid repeating my own steps by bordering Issyk-Kul again. But I am open to recommendations.
14-15: Almaty + Big Almaty Lake day tour
\- I considered Big Almaty Lake was more woth it than Charyn Canyon ot the Kolsai Lakes. But open to hear from you.
16: Return to Bishkek. Flight late at night
**Other questions:**
\- What is the best part for horse trekking? In my mind Kyrgyzstan was all about it but most of what I see is around Song-Kul
\- Any other locations within valid distance I may be missing?
\- Hostels / Yurts / Restaurant recommendations always welcome too
Thank you very much!
