Travel and transport agencies Karakol

Karakol's mountain guides joined forces in 2002 to pool their talents. They offer treks for all levels, following circuits they have marked themselves or according to tourists' expectations. Equipment hire (tents, sleeping bags, camping gas, ropes, crampons and ice picks), guides and interpreters, transport, permits, meals... They take care of everything! Detailed maps of the region are on sale at the association's offices.

Founded in 1990 in Karakol, Arista Travel is one of the country's most experienced agencies and is therefore well established in its home region, which is one of the tourist hubs of Kyrgyzstan. At the same address, it offers its customers a number of accommodation options, in rooms or yurts. The agency operates throughout Kyrgyzstan and most of the countries in the region. Born in the foothills of the Tian Shan mountains, it focuses on mountaineering activities in medium and high altitudes: trekking, heliskiing, freeriding, ski touring, etc.

The CBT agency in Karakol is one of the best established in the country and shows real competence, in the linguistic field as well as in the tourist and sports fields. Azamat knows his region by heart and is very good advice for the organization of treks, both in terms of timing and preparation as well as in terms of material. CBT also manages about ten guest houses, really nice and cheap. Even if you are not planning a trek, CBT's information will be valuable in planning your visit.
