About this host

Nadezhda, known to travelers as Nadya, runs a small family tour business from Bishkek, working alongside her brother and a team of drivers and guides. Tourism has been part of the family for years, and together they cover Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

Her focus is custom multi-day road trips rather than fixed packages: loops through Issyk-Kul, Song Kul, Karakol and Altyn Arashan, horseback routes to alpine lakes, the Pamir Highway and Fann Mountains in Tajikistan, and border crossings into Kazakhstan. She works out detailed day-by-day itineraries with driving times, altitudes, yurt stays and hikes, and adjusts them as a trip is happening.

Guests consistently mention how responsive and calm she is, especially when plans change at the last minute or something goes wrong on the road. Many also note that she pairs them with an English-speaking driver or guide from her team, while being upfront when a driver only has basic English and a guide would need to be added separately.

She guides some trips herself but on most bookings she plans and coordinates while one of her drivers, often a 4x4 SUV for mountain terrain, does the actual driving. Group sizes are usually small and private, and she stays in touch by message throughout the trip to check that things are on track.

Traveling as a family on a 5 day trip around Izzky-kul, one cannot ask for a better guide than Nadya. Planning to cover as much as possible without adequate knowledge of the local conditions, we were insisting to go to numerous challenging places (climbing up Altyn Arashan and wanting to stay in a yurt or trying to go Song-kul....all when the weather was too cold for it). Yet, Nadya was not one to say no. She will make her best attempt to accommodate to our wishes and make us as comfortable as possible. As each day passes, we realize that following her advice was best...and she took care of us way beyond our expectations. In each place we go, she will find the best possible deals, bargain hard to get the best price for each experience we wanted to explore or places to dine or stay. As a guide, she is incredibly knowledgeable about the places. As weather and energy levels meant plans have to change from time to time, she was always able to come up with good alternatives. She also has such a good read on people, stepping up when she saw the need, stepping back when she accurately feels that she should give space. The 5 day trip with her and most pleasantly joined by Musa her amiable husband as the driver of the very comfortable 4WD, it was like traveling with good friends who understand and take care of you. That even started before our trip was supposed to begin. My wife needed urgent medical attention and they arranged and sent us to an excellent clinic and doctor, accompanying us in case language would be an issue. What a good start. It was also highly interesting to hear about their lives, how they live and work, how they raise their children, what challenges they face throughout the upheavals of independence from Soviet Union, the changes of government. It gave us a good picture into not just the sights of Kyrgyzstan, but also a bit into the lives of a Kyrgyz. Look no further, go with Nadya.

We had a day-before request for a driver to help us tour around Bishkek for the morning/day and get dropped off at the Kazakhstan (Korday) border in the afternoon. Nadezhda was super responsive and arranged a driver for us. The driver (Moussa) arrived early with the vehicle described, and his conduct felt safe, professional, and friendly. Both Nadezhda and Moussa were prompt and communicative via WhatsApp throughout the trip, which made everything easy. The only minor issue was Moussa's English language skills were fairly limited, but he spoke Russian, so the Russian speaking member of our group was able to converse with him more easily. Overall, we really appreciated that everything went smoothly on our last-minute request, and for a very reasonable price!

We organized a 4-day tour of South Kyrgyzstan with Nadya, covering Kel-Suu, Naryn, Kok-Moynok Canyon, Kyzart, Kochkor. She helped us arrange everything from accommodation and transportation to the permits, as well as the LOI required for the visa process. Everything was well organized, and Nadya made the whole trip very smooth and stress-free for us. Our driver was also very helpful and spoke English, which made the journey even more enjoyable. We had a lot of fun traveling with him and really enjoyed the whole experience. It was a wonderful way to explore this beautiful part of Kyrgyzstan. Thank you, Nadya, for helping make our journey such a memorable one! We would definitely recommend her to anyone planning to explore Kyrgyzstan. :)
