Ala Archa National Park

I definitely recommend visiting both children and adults. The National Park is beautiful in any weather (except, of course, when there is a strong wind and a snowstorm). There are a lot of cars in the parking lot during the season, it's not a fact that you can park close to the entrance. There are several small cafes in the parking lot (delicious coffee and cool tea), you can take it with you and climb to the mountains. There are several trails with different difficulty levels. You can just walk along the main road, then go down to the river. You can't see it from the road, but there is a small playground with a bench near the river, where you can enjoy the views and the sound of the water in silence. There is also a descent to the water. There is a small playground along the way. Be sure to bring some seeds or nuts with you. There are birds and squirrels in large numbers (almost tame, they eat with their hands). Entrance to the territory is paid (700 SOM per car, regardless of the number of passengers). Payment at the entrance (parking meters are automatic). There are several recreation centers and a restaurant along the way.

It's a very beautiful place. Crystal clear air. Clear blue water in a mountain, fast river. Amazing views of the snow cliffs. Coniferous forests on the slopes of nearby mountains. A winding paved path that gets lost in a stone valley. If you have the opportunity to visit this beautiful country of Kyrgyzstan, be sure to visit this place.

We were in the park in the summer of 2024. Magnificent views , mountains , mountain river . Everything is very impressive. Since we were with a child , we couldn 't climb high , only up to the wishing stone . There are a lot of squirrels along the way, birds eat with their hands (you can take some seeds or nuts with you). We got the most out of the walk . We took a taxi from Bishkek . The good people gave me a lift back to the barrier, then hitchhiked. An exciting little trip

Like all natural national parks in Kyrgyzstan, Ala-Archa is a very picturesque area! Development is in full swing, you can see how local businessmen are investing in the development of the region! And of course, the culture of the locals is striking, who are increasingly gravitating towards eco-friendly and absolutely sober, healthy holidays!

The fire of the place, the insane beauty, excellent hiking trails of varying difficulty - I highly recommend it for a visit. You can spend the night in a hotel right at the beginning of the trail, very nice and right after the renovation.

A beautiful natural park. Mountains, mountain river, gorge. Equipped parking lots, toilets, observation decks, benches, paths. Everything is in very good condition. But the most important thing is the air, nature, and views. To get from Bishkek by taxi. The walk can take a whole day. I recommend

My favorite place near Bishkek is to spend time outdoors with children. It is very convenient to walk along the paths with a stroller, everything is well-maintained and comfortable, but at the same time there are new stunning views around every turn. You can walk people with any level of training and enjoy the beauty.

The most beautiful place. For a walk, I recommend warm clothes, even in the hottest summer, since we are talking about mountains and the temperature difference with the city can reach 20 degrees or more, comfortable shoes, and if you want to walk to the nearest waterfall and it seems to you that 6 kilometers is not a distance, I want to warn you, in the mountains 6 kilometers is everything 16, or even 20 on the plain, a supply of water is required. I recommend you to visit.

Well, what can you say about the ideal place? That there are heart-stopping views, that there are gorgeous mountains that you can admire endlessly, that the glaciers are impressive and formidable... We went up to the "broken heart" as part of the group (Who decides to repeat, good shoes are required!), the panorama was very impressive. Squirrels are sociable, the infrastructure is sufficient, it is good that it is given to nature as much as possible, and not built up with campsites. Ten out of five)

No conditions for visitors without a car. We took a taxi, the entrance turned out to be 700 som. If you get off at the barrier, it's another 11 km from the entrance.
It is not possible to return back, you cannot order a taxi, and correctly no one wants to pay 700 som. No transportation is provided. At least some minibuses would go to the same entrance. The whole impression is ruined(

I was here with a tour group. We climbed up the mountain paths, and also walked down the paved paths along the mountain rivers. This place is the most beloved and most delightful in Kyrgyzstan (and I've been there a lot). ❤❤❤

The pride of Kyrgyzstan! A great place to relax and unwind with the whole family! Clean air, forest, mountains, rivers, snow-capped peaks. You can spend the whole day there, there are paved paths, gazebos, benches. The only thing is, in hot weather it is better to take a supply of drinking water with you.

There are more than 680 species of plants growing here, many of which are rare. The park is called the "juniper mountain country".
Squirrels and birds sit on their hands and help themselves to seeds. Stock up on treats!
There are benches and lanterns everywhere.

A beautiful place, mountains, forest, river. A must-visit place for those who arrive in Bishkek is not far from the city.
It's clean enough if you don't look into the bushes along the tourist routes.

There are no words to convey my admiration! It was the second time in this place, the emotions are no less than the first time! Eye balm! A lot has changed for the better in infrastructure compared to the first time a year ago: This is an increase in parking lots, cafes, and recreation areas! The place is fabulous! Nature is the best artist! Further prosperity!!

A beautiful park with very poor navigation. There is no detailed description of the trails, there are extremely rare signs on the trails themselves. We got lost 3 times on the Circumnavigation route😀

We were on a tour in this park, the weather was great, clear and without wind. The air was clean and pleasant. The park has a prepared trail with lots of benches and bins so as not to litter. There is a separate playground for children, so everyone will have a rest! But there are problems with the toilet here, there is one at the very beginning of the route to the mountains, but it is also paid and there is always a queue in it... But entry is paid! You can guess what might happen next.... But otherwise it's just great!

If you are traveling in Kyrgyzstan, the park is a must-visit. The presence of a guide is not necessary - you can just come and walk by yourself, there are a lot of recreation areas, there are toilets and small food outlets. There is also a hotel on site with a magnificent view of the mountains. I recommend it! And on the territory of the park, birds and squirrels eat right from their hands - take nuts and seeds with you.

Nicely. You can walk and walk. Squirrels and tits are hand-fed. Mountains, fir trees, rivers, the impression is super. The service sector is meager, the hotel does not work, the cafe is half closed. But the most important thing is nature. Awesome

Of the minuses, as in the whole of Kyrgyzstan, there is a practical complete absence in such places, there is simply an endless field of opportunities for tourism and its development, but alas, development is not particularly visible

A place of incredible beauty
Must-visit
You can go there by taxi, but it is advisable to arrange for you to be picked up back. Check-in 700s to the park.
It's a good time to walk until 12 o'clock, you'll be alone there.

Great park. You can just walk along an asphalt road, or you can climb a mountain. Paths have been trodden for climbing and there are signs. If you do not have experience, training and equipment, then it is risky to go to the mountains. But there are very beautiful views from there. On the way, squirrels will come out to you and birds will be ready to sit on your hands, take a snack for them. There may be problems in order to find food, the cafe may not work. There is a large Parking lot and a well-equipped but paid toilet on it.

The journey time for the car from Bishkek to the park is short. There are no scheduled routes. The road is being repaired in several places. The visit to the park is paid, we were in August 2023, the car cost us 700 som. The nature and the place are magnificent. We need to take food with us. I advise you to visit for the whole day.
