Suban runs a small tour company based in Kochkor, central Kyrgyzstan, and drives for many of the trips himself. He and his team plan and lead multi-day journeys across the country, from Bishkek and the Chon Kemin valley to Issyk-Kul, Karakol, and the remote Kel-Suu lake.
Horseback riding is a particular focus, especially multi-day treks to Song-Kul lake with yurt camp stays, and the team also arranges eagle hunting shows, archery, and hikes into canyons and national parks such as Ala-Archa and Altyn Arashan.
Guests describe Suban and his colleagues as kind, friendly and attentive, quick to adjust an itinerary on request, including for families traveling with young children. Travelers also mention the team's knowledge of local traditions and landmarks, with some trips including drone footage of the route.
Trips are usually private and tailored to the group, with transport provided (vehicles range from a Honda CR-V to SUVs such as the Toyota Sequoia), English-speaking guiding, and full board accommodation in guesthouses, hotels and yurt camps. When Suban is not available himself, his brother or one of his regular drivers takes over, so a booking can still go ahead.
Perfect The tour which was designed for us was really fun and amazing Thanks to this team. Very nice guys.
I did not take the tour with Suban but with his older brother Ulan. Ulan is a trustworthy, serious and friendly person. He will do all his possible to make your trip in Kyrgyzstan something to remember.
We booked for a 4 day itinerary around the Issykul lake from Bishkek with Suban and when we wanted to add more places he didn’t hesitate to add and tailored the plan exactly to our needs as we had a 2 year old kid. They always had her best interests in the heart. Suban and Kuban were very kind, friendly and nice, they always gave us the best options in the tours, cafes and the stays. They drove us to the best places and took amazing shots using their drone. The highlight of the trip is he took us to the Kyrgyz national game (Kol Buru) to experience their culture and heritage. It was electrifying and each moment was heart pounding adventure. Both Suban and Kuban answered our questions promptly and they definitely went above and beyond to make our journey a memorable one. Our kid had the best time with them. I recommend them 100% for your Kyrgyz adventures. To see all our amazing experience, you can always visit our social media pages.
