Alamedin Gorge Day Tour

Travel south of Bishkek to the scenic Alamedin Gorge, where the Alamedin River flows between mountain slopes, wooded sections and open pastures. Follow a comfortable riverside trail, enjoy panoramic views and take time for photos or a picnic. This is a relaxed trip for travelers who want a peaceful mountain landscape close to the city.
