Questions
Which dates?
Out 28–31 December, back 1–10 January — any two dates you choose. Other dates on request.
Where exactly do you drive?
From your address in Almaty across the Korday border and via Bishkek to Cholpon-Ata or anywhere on the north shore up to Bosteri and Ananyevo, about 470 km and 7 hours. Karakol and the south shore on request.
Why a 50% prepayment?
Cars and drivers for New Year are booked out early. The prepayment holds the car for both dates; the rest is paid to the driver. The prepayment is refundable if you cancel at least 7 days before departure.
Is Korday busy at New Year?
Queues on 30–31 December can take 1–3 hours. We leave early and the driver helps with the forms; you cross on foot or in the car depending on the queue.
Do we need a visa for Kyrgyzstan?
Many passports enter Kyrgyzstan visa-free; check the rules for yours before you travel.
