If you go to Kyrgyzstan, go to Ala Archa National Park😁

Reasons to visit Ala Archa National Park!
1. Accessible by bus🚌 from downtown
2. Affordable admission🎫
3. A place you can visit in just 5-6 hours

You can take Bus No. 1 from downtown to Ala Archa National Park in about 40-50 minutes (50 soms one way).
The bus driver will have change.

The final stop for the city bus is the ticket booth entrance.
Enter the ticket booth and purchase your admission ticket at the kiosk. They don't give change here, so make sure you bring the appropriate amount in cash. 200 soms per person (I think they accepted cards, but I'm not sure. I can't remember for sure😭)

After purchasing your ticket and entering, you'll see minibuses. The minibuses are free. Take this minibus and you'll reach the trailhead in about 20 minutes. Front-row seats are recommended! I got on the bus late and there weren't any seats available, so I sat on the floor between the driver and the front row. The scenery was so beautiful, I highly recommend it.

They park you in a parking lot, and the trail begins there. There's a supermarket at the start of the trail, where you can buy water, snacks, and other necessities.

I took a leisurely stroll up the asphalt road. The hike wasn't too difficult, and the scenery was beautiful.

You absolutely must visit Ala Archa National Park!!!
