What you can expect

Full Description
Discover the real Kyrgyzstan with TENGRAVIA on a journey that combines breathtaking mountain landscapes, authentic nomadic culture, and unforgettable local experiences. This tour is designed for travellers who want to experience the country beyond the usual tourist attractions.
Travel through the spectacular Tian Shan Mountains, visit crystal-clear alpine lakes, dramatic canyons, waterfalls, green valleys, and remote villages where centuries-old traditions remain part of everyday life.
Visit a traditional Kyrgyz family and experience genuine hospitality. See how local people live in harmony with nature, grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs, and raise horses, sheep, cows, and yaks on alpine pastures.
Watch the traditional milking of mares and discover how the famous Kyrgyz Kumis is produced. You will also see how Kaymak, Kurut, Ayran, and other dairy products are prepared using traditional family recipes and enjoy tasting fresh homemade specialities.
Become part of Kyrgyz culinary traditions by helping prepare national dishes, baking traditional bread, and watching a whole lamb cooked in a large cauldron over an open fire. Witness the ceremonial carving and distribution of meat and discover why the finest cuts are offered to the most honoured guests, what each cut represents, and how this custom reflects respect and hospitality.
Learn about Kyrgyz family traditions, including why newborn babies are traditionally not introduced to visitors during their first forty days, the Tushoo Kesuu ceremony celebrating a child's first steps, and the customs of traditional Kyrgyz weddings.
Enjoy performances on the Komuz and Ooz Komuz, two traditional musical instruments that have been part of Kyrgyz culture for centuries. Depending on the season, you may also witness national games such as Kok Boru, Kyz Kuumai, Kyrgyz Kurosh, Oodarysh, Tyiyn Enmei, Jamby Atmai, and Chuko.
Meet local artisans creating traditional yurts, Shyrdak and Ala Kiyiz felt carpets, leather goods, wooden crafts, and handmade souvenirs. You may also watch a demonstration of the ancient art of golden eagle hunting, one of Kyrgyzstan's most famous nomadic traditions.
Spend unforgettable nights in a traditional yurt surrounded by magnificent mountains, breathe fresh alpine air, admire spectacular sunrises and star-filled skies, and capture incredible photographs throughout your journey.
Travel in comfortable vehicles, stay in carefully selected accommodation, and enjoy the expertise of professional multilingual guides. With TENGRAVIA, you don't just visit Kyrgyzstan—you experience its people, traditions, culture, and nomadic heritage while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
