About Us
Kyrgyz Guide is not about rushing from one place to another or ticking off highlights. It’s about taking time, meeting people, being in nature, and actually feeling where you are.
We show Kyrgyzstan the way we know and love it.
OUR STORY
My name is Javlon. Many years ago, after a week-long hike in the mountains with friends, I realized how deeply connected I felt to this country.
That journey stayed with me and slowly turned into a simple question:
How can I help other people experience this too?
Over time, the answer became clear — through tourism, guiding and sharing Kyrgyzstan in an honest and meaningful way.
I studied tourism at university and started working in the field in 2014. Even as a student, I was already guiding tours and learning not only routes and history, but also how people travel, rest, feel inspired and connect.
After years of experience, I founded Kyrgyz Guide — not as a standard tour company, but as a project built around care, balance and real human connection.
Today, I’m grateful that this work has become my life.
OUR TEAM
Our team is made up of local guides who were born and raised in Kyrgyzstan and truly know the country from the inside.
We share a deep love for mountains, nature and culture, and we focus on creating meaningful, well-organized and comfortable journeys for our guests.
Each member of our team brings personal experience, local knowledge and genuine hospitality into every trip.

I specialize in private and small-group tours focused on nature, culture and authentic experiences.

Outside of guiding, I am also a photographer with a special passion for aviation photography, especially capturing airplanes.

I have been working as a professional guide since 2017, specializing in cultural, trekking and horse-riding tours.
I mainly work with guests from German-speaking countries and focus on showing Kyrgyzstan in an authentic and respectful way — through nature, traditions and everyday local life.
I enjoy sharing the mountains, landscapes and stories of my homeland with travelers who seek real experiences.
Outside of guiding, I’m a big fan of FC Schalke 04 and enjoy following football in my free time.

OUR APPROACH
Kyrgyz Guide is not about doing more. It’s about doing things well.
Mass tourism works for numbers. Travel works for people.
Too many tourists change places. Too few make them feel empty.
The right balance matters. We want our guests to leave not only with photos, but with a feeling that stays longer — from nature, from people, from shared moments.
Photography is also part of this. For us, photos are not just content.
They are memory and a way to slow down and really see a place.
That’s why we also organize photo tours together with professional photographers.
OUR VISION
I don’t want Kyrgyz Guide to be the biggest. I want it to stay thoughtful, calm and personal — where every guest feels seen and every journey feels right. CLOSING If you are looking for a deeper connection, Kyrgyz Guide might be for you. We’ll be happy to create a journey that feels personal, balanced and truly memorable.
