EAGLE HUNTING SHOW
Eagle hunting in Kyrgyzstan is a centuries-old tradition deeply rooted in the nomadic culture of Central Asia. This remarkable practice involves the use of golden eagles to hunt small animals like foxes and hares, showcasing the unique bond between the hunter and the bird. The art of eagle hunting, known as Berkutchi, is often passed down through generations, requiring years of training and trust-building between the hunter and the eagle.
Typically conducted in the breathtaking landscapes of Kyrgyzstan, such as the vast Tien Shan mountains or open steppe, eagle hunting is not just a means of survival but also a cultural celebration. Visitors can witness this tradition at festivals or join specialized tours to observe hunters in action, often dressed in traditional attire and riding horses. These experiences provide an authentic glimpse into the heritage and way of life in Kyrgyzstan, making it a must-see for anyone seeking a deep connection with the region’s history and traditions.

My guide was ulan ,he was amazing , best part is he is a better photographer than me, and he created beautiful breathtaking memories for me. As a solo traveller I never felt alone since he was so sarcastic , fun ,and caring . he was more of a friend too. He describes the places and history of the places so clearly .I fell in love with the nature and everything in this country because of that..and I would want him to always be my guide here whenever I come back as his hospitality was amazing ..thank you for the tour company too ...was very helpful since the beginning. ❤ had the best 3 days trip ever .

We had a wonderful 3 days voyage around Issyk Kul Lake! We were truly in awe of great sceneries.. we got to see the dry valleys, green pastures, the snowy mountains, and the vast lake..my shutterbug friends couldn't get enough photos! felt like we experienced all seasons in just 1 trip! Kyrgyzstan is a Country of Contrasts indeed! The whole trip was well planned. We were group of 7.. thought there'd be a hassle but everything was smooth, the accommodations were great, and the food was amazing!!! Kudos to our tour guide Mars of Atlas KG and special thanks to Mike for this wonderful adventure! One for the books! 💜

What a way to start my trip in Kyrgyzstan. Ala Archa national park was beautiful. Nice way to start your morning after a long journey. Maksat was a amazing guide, very informative and would recommend to anyone. The half day trip to the national park is ideal if you can’t check in to your hotel plus you get to see the beauty that Kyrgyzstan has to offer.

Just came back from a wonderful 10 days with Mars, unpacking layers and layers of gem the country offers. Travelling with Mars is like travelling with a friend, free and easy. Mars worked the itinerary in such that we got to experience local life. We enjoyed the spontaneous picnicking by the river and on top of the mountain. Mars even cooked us trout for lunch by the river. Kyrgyzstan has so much to offer - the breathtaking views, the warm-hearted people, the food, etc. A raw gem starting to be discovered by the world. Mars can no doubt give you an exceptional experience.

Would reitirate what everyone else has said about Mars being a great host. Was only in Bishkek with my wife for a weekend so only had time for a half day trek in Ala-Archa park but it was stunning countryside. The hike was medium in difficulty and you need good shoes, but Mars helped motivate us and was very patient. Finished with a relaxing tea by the pristine river. Very grateful to Mars and his daughter Linda for the fascinating chats and great company. Hoping to go back and do a longer visit next time. They are contactable on Whatsapp.

They offer comfortable and flexible tour individually.
I joined this tour with my mom who needs cane. Mars this owner guide arranged us as private. Instead of hiking or going up to the world heritage site tower, he prepared outdoor chairs and wonderful tea made by beautiful natural water. We were very satisfied with his professional attitude. And he was such an interesting person. Where he took us, what we saw, what we ate and where we stayed, everything was more than we expected.
This was the most memorable time. Kyrgyzstan is a fantastic country in the world.

I always wanted to visit Kyrgyzstan for over 2 years, due to the loads of work it only happened last week during our Eid break. For those who are looking for an adventurous escape, this the agency to book onto directly in Kyrgyzstan. Experience is so great with the variety of programs or tailor made itinerary can also be arranged. Thanks to the finest hospitality of our guide Mars, who speaks Kyrg, English, Russian and even Arabic we felt safe and secured and feel like a local by the end of our trip. Kind note for all:
1. Obtain an e-visa within a month to 3 weeks earlier before the date of your trip. 2. Don't forget to bring an outdoor summer/winter gear for hikes are a mandatory in the itinerary for all season. 3. Currency is Kyrgyzstan Som for the countryside, USD/EUR exchanges are available within the city of Bishkek.
