Waterfall Hike - I really enjoyed this hike to the waterfall. The views were amazing the whole way up. My guide was very good and stopped a store to pick up our lunch before the hike. He was fun to talk to and made it a very enjoyable day. This is an easy tour from Bishkek. The tour operator had excellent communication before the tour. I would highly recommend.

Nice nature escape from Bishkek - It's a good half-day tour for nature lovers. Ala-Archa was beautiful with all the fall colours and we had a nice little hike with some great views.

Great trip to Ala Archa - I took a day trip to Ala Archa to do a day hike to the waterfall. I was delivered to the start of the trail and dropped back to my hostel afterwards. My guide provided lots of interesting information. The trail was well marked and the whole trip went smoothly.

Great tour in Ala Archa National Park - I booked this tour last minute and the company was very kind and helpful, arranged me a tour next day.
In the morning, the guide was a bit delayed because of the traffic in the city, but he called me in advance, so I don’t have to worry.
We had a very modern, comfortable car with air conditioning, a big bottle of water was provided as well.
In the park we walked on a paved road in the beginning and later on hiked a little to a viewpoint. The park is really beautiful, especially in autumn, when I visited it.
The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, he spoke good English. Overall I had a really great tour, I’d book with Datka Travel again.

Quick taste of park with invigorating hike - I did the Essential Day Trip to Ala Archa National Park which was a perfect introduction to Ala Archa Park. We walked for about an hour in the park, which was serene, tranquil, and very beautiful. We were able to take photos from a vantage point. Then we hiked back and drove back to town. Lunch is included at a local restaurant. The guide was knowledgeable and took care of me, exemplified professionalism and respect, and gave me tips on Bishkek. Would definitely recommend to people short on time and want a taste of this beautiful park.

Breathtaking view of Ala-Archa! - I arrived at Bishkek on July 14, 2025 and had (unfortunately) only two full days touring around the country. I had read already some time ago about Datka Travel before the my departure for Kyrgyzstan. On July 15, I decided to contact and tried my luck if a solo guided day tour would be possible for July 16. They replied swiftly and we agreed on the price.
We made it to the Broken heart rocks (altitude 2420m) from the entrance within 1,5 hours (roughly). The way throughout was rocky, certain sections were a bit steep for hiking up without proper gears (trekking boots + trekking poles) even though we still managed.
The view along the hiking trail is absolutely breathtaking! No matter the running rivers, ice-capped mountains, valleys, wrangler with running horses, all were wonderful! Thanks Datka Travel for arranging the tour and the tour guide for helping me on our way back.

Not recommended - Seriously overpriced tour. You can organise this yourself from Bishkek. Take a taxi to the park entrance. You don't need a guide.
