Landing and contact with the city. Place Ala Tau, Dubovy Park.
Visit of Osh Bazaar in the morning and museums in the afternoon. Evening at the Philharmonique.

Journey to Cholpon-Ata. Visit of the petroglyph field and the museum. Journey to Karakol.
Visit of the Orthodox church and the Chinese mosque. Try to plan your visit to Karakol on a Sunday to visit the cattle market.
Plan a horseback ride around Karakol, to Altyn Arashan or Jetti-Öghuz.
Second day of hiking.
Head towards Tamga or Bokonbaevo for a demonstration of eagle hunting.
Journey to Kochkor. You will save time on this day by borrowing a shared taxi or renting a car.
From Kochkor, spend the night at Song Kul Lake, at an altitude of more than 3,000 m.
Treat yourself to a morning on horseback around the lake to enjoy some of the most beautiful landscapes offered by Kyrgyzstan. Return to Kochkor in the evening.
Journey to Naryn. The city is of little interest. If you arrive early enough, push to At-Bachi for a stop in a photogenic village at the foot of the mountains.
Visit to the Tash-Rabat caravanserai and horseback riding along the river. Plan another day to push to Chatyr Kul. Night under the yurt.
Return to Naryn. Rest, as a long journey awaits you to reach Jalalabad via Kazarman.
Journey from Naryn to Jalalabad via the Piste trail. Jalalabad does not have much interest, but, given the length of the journey, you will certainly be forced to step in.
Journey to Osh. Visit the park and museums, then ascend to the "throne of Solomon".
In the morning, visit of Osh Bazaar, one of the most characteristic and lively in the region.
Journey to Arslanbob. Hiking around the village.
