Detailed itinerary
1
In the morning, your friendly guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Bishkek. We’ll begin our short and scenic drive—just 30 km—to the beautiful Chunkurchak Gorge. Along the way, enjoy stunning views of Kyrgyz nature: peaceful mountains, winding canyons, rushing streams, and in spring, fields covered with bright red tulips.

Our first stop is the hidden gem of Chunkurchak—the majestic Pigeon Waterfall, standing 30 meters tall. The water drops in a graceful, almost splash-free stream, creating a calm and magical atmosphere.
Right next to the waterfall is a unique highlight—the first and only Sky Bridge in Kyrgyzstan. You’ll have a chance to walk across it and enjoy a panoramic view over the gorge. It’s the perfect spot for photos and a little thrill before heading to the next part of our adventure.

Next, we arrive at Supara Chunkurchak, a cozy mountain retreat surrounded by wild nature, where you’ll have 4 hours of free time to relax or enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. You can choose from fun options like an archery masterclass, horseback riding, an exciting zip line ride across the gorge, or take a cable car up to a scenic mountain viewpoint. For those who prefer a peaceful experience, there are also gentle trails to explore nearby mountains
When it's time for lunch, you’re free to eat at the Supara restaurant (meals not included in the tour price) or bring your own food for a picnic in the fresh mountain air.
