Visit Karakol provided an expert trip planning service for our own private guided ski touring adventure in Kyrgyzstan in February 2020 and also provided superb local guiding, transport and logistics support.

The Team and people working at Visit Karakol are the most friendly and helpful people I met in the tourism industry. From personalised travel experience with one of their guide to leading a Photography Workshop class and including porters. I trust their expertise, and they help you out in all matters. They will make your Kyrgyzstan experience memorable and pleasure you will never forget. I highly recommend visiting this country and with Visit Karakol.

I have been fortunate enough to visit the Karakol region of Kyrgyzstan for three years running. Working and using the services of VisitKarakol has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment I arrived, I felt safe and in good hands. Logistics are always smooth and the team work closely together to ensure that guests are given the experience they were hoping for. I have taken clients to Karakol and they have been blown away by the kindness, openness and landscapes of the region. Timur, Ibraim and the team are a credit to the area. If you haven’t visited Karakol yet then it’s time to go.…

I just finished a 21 day custom trip put together by Timur and his incredible collection of staff, guides, guest houses, hotel and vehicles. As a professional photographer my needs for a guiding company are a bit more "needy" than a typical tourist but Visit Karakol knocked it out of the park. They put together a varied and at times demanding schedule (requested by me) and when they noticed me waning from getting sick and being in a tent for multiple days at sub zero temps they recommended a brief change to the itinerary to recuperate which the pulled off without fuss. I had a lens malfunction about 1/3 of the way through the shoot and they worked with me to find a fairly obscure lens, come to a solution to get back to Bishkek (which was a 9 hour roundtrip detour) to solve the problem. We also had a road washed out by a rockslide and they managed to find a herder, procure his horse, have our guide ride all night long to get our horses and bring them back to the start of an epic multi day horse trip. All of the rigs we drove in were in excellent shape, accommodations were the best available in each location and attention to your needs was always met. Kyrgyzstan marked my 60th country and of all those trips with guides Visit Karokal is in the top 5 of my best tour companies. Thanks Timur, Ibream and Adair!…
