Everybody had a dream to become a real explorer and great traveler… Now you have a unique chance to make your dream come true! We suggest you to have an OFF ROAD TOUR in Kyrgyzstan!!!
This tour was made especially for people that want to drive their 4X4 cars in the mountains! We have 4 Russian 4X4 cars – Lada Niva for driving off road. Why did we choice this kind of car? It is the best possible transport!!! It is quite light and it can pass very difficult places on the way. Before going to every tour all cars are examined by specialists to make sure that everything is all right.
During the tour you will have a special car that will show you the way. It will have a guide and a specialist to have support during the tour. Also it will have a cook and tents for our nights in the hidden places of our mountains.
Lada Niva was made especially for off roads – it does not have any extra comfort but it is an ideal car to cross any obstacles on the way. Even Vladimir Putin has such a car for himself!
