Welcome yurt managers very good.

Meal quality/Award ratio that could be improved (in terms of either quantity or quality)

Let me begin by saying that Kyrgyz Life is absolutely above and beyond when it comes to delivering service and product.

I travelled with my daughter for 5 weeks through Kyrgyzstan in the summer of 2024 and we could ALWAYS count on the Kyrgyz Life team.

First of all, the responsiveness was phenomenal. We travelled with an open schedule, so no precise agenda and the speed in which the team could help was extra-ordinary.

We went on a guided horse trip for 3 days and everything from horse to guide to food to sleeping arrangements in yurts were superb. Really. We got help with boarder permits, we got rides when I poor toyota rav4 couldn't (shouldn't) handle the roads, we got ties and tricks. Super helpful.

I normally don't sit down and write a review like this - but this was next level delivery from Kyrgyz Life. Thank you for making our father daughter trip to Kyrgyzstan totally awesome!
