Transfers from Almaty
Almaty is where many Central Asia trips start. We drive across the border to Bishkek and Karakol with our Kyrgyz partner drivers and arrange Charyn, Kolsai, Big Almaty Lake and Medeu with licensed Kazakh partner drivers.
Why two kinds of drivers
Kazakh law forbids foreign-registered cars from carrying passengers between two points inside Kazakhstan. So Almaty ↔ Kyrgyzstan trips are run by our Kyrgyz partners end to end, and trips that stay inside Kazakhstan are run by Kazakh partners we work with — same booking, same WhatsApp, same price list.
