Aero Nomad Airlines will launch regular direct flights between Bishkek and Tashkent on 23 August 2026.

The new Bishkek - Tashkent - Bishkek service will operate twice a week, giving travellers another convenient option for journeys between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.

The agreement was reached during a meeting between representatives of the Tourism Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the management of Aero Nomad Airlines.

The possibility of launching additional flights from Bishkek and Osh to Tashkent, as well as services to other cities in Uzbekistan, was also discussed with Asman Airlines. These routes have not yet been confirmed.

Before choosing your next destination, you research, compare itineraries, study maps, and ask questions that many travel agents can't answer. You've already seen much of the world - perhaps that's exactly why the Silk Road keeps coming to mind.

Our 36-day Silk Road Expedition Group Tour takes you across nine countries: China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia. It's designed for curious travelers who want to understand how these cultures and civilizations have been connected for centuries.

As the journey unfolds, familiar places take on entirely new meaning. Samarkand becomes more than a beautiful city. Kyrgyzstan is no longer a blank space between famous destinations. Georgia is more than great food. You begin to see the Silk Road as a living network that shaped the history of half the world.

And while you're focused on the experience, we'll take care of everything else.

The tour includes hotels with breakfast, all transportation, domestic flights and trains, English-speaking local guides in every country, entrance tickets, selected lunches and dinners, wine tasting in Georgia, traditional folklore performances, and support from our team throughout the journey.

✔Group size is limited to just 16 travelers.

✔100% guaranteed departures - even if only one traveler books.

✔From US$10,060 per person

✔Single supplement: US$1,660

Advantour has been organizing tours across the Silk Road since 2003, combining local expertise with carefully planned itineraries that let you experience far more than the highlights.

Most visitors to the Ak-Beshim archaeological site in northern Kyrgyzstan come from China

Located near the town of Tokmok in the Chui Region, Ak-Beshim is part of the UNESCO-listed Silk Roads World Heritage Site. More than 1,000 years ago, it was the thriving city of Suyab, one of the Great Silk Road's most important urban centres.

For many Chinese travellers, however, the site's significance extends far beyond archaeology. According to historical tradition, the renowned Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai (Li Bo) may have been born in Suyab. Many visitors come here specifically to pay tribute to him, reading his poetry at the site - often becoming deeply emotional in the process. According to the Kyrgyz Association of Tourism Organizations (KATO), Chinese citizens account for around 70% of all visitors to the ancient settlement.

Interest in Ak-Beshim has grown even further following an important archaeological discovery earlier this year. A joint Kyrgyz-Japanese expedition uncovered the remains of a 7th-8th century Buddhist temple, including brick stairways, a ramp, and a ceremonial platform built in a style associated with China's Tang Dynasty.

Researchers believe the temple may have been commissioned by a Chinese empress. If confirmed, it would be the first known temple of its kind ever discovered.

Excavations at Ak-Beshim have been carried out since 2012 by a joint team led by Professor Bakyt Amanbaeva of the National Academy of Sciences of Kyrgyzstan and Professor Kazuya Yamauchi of Teikyo University in Japan.

If you'd like to experience this remarkable Silk Road site for yourself rather than just read about it, Advantour will be delighted to help you discover Kyrgyzstan.

Looking for a break from the summer heat? While temperatures climb in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan's mountains, alpine lakes, and high valleys remain pleasantly cool, making summer one of the best times to experience the country's spectacular landscapes. Our upcoming departures are perfectly timed for this season.

If you've always wanted to experience the traditions of Kyrgyz nomads but weren't sure how to organize such a trip, our 7-day group tour makes it easy. Accommodation, transportation, an experienced English-speaking guide, meals (as per program), and activities are all included, so you can enjoy the journey without worrying about the logistics.

You'll spend nights in comfortable yurt camps, watch eagle hunters demonstrate centuries-old skills, learn how a traditional yurt is assembled, discover the art of making felt carpets, and explore Tash Rabat. Although Tash Rabat is best known as a Silk Road caravanserai, some historians believe it may originally have been a Christian monastery, making it one of Kyrgyzstan's most intriguing historical sites.

At US$1,250 per person, this 7-day journey combines authentic cultural experiences with comfortable travel and professional organization.

Single supplement: US$65

100% guaranteed departures - even if only one traveler books the tour.

Group size: 1-16 persons

Kyrgyzstan's Tourist Police Begin 24/7 Operations

Safety is one of the most common concerns for travelers planning a trip to Kyrgyzstan. Recent measures introduced in the country show how seriously tourist safety is being treated.

Starting June 12, Kyrgyzstan's tourist police began operating 24/7. This specialized unit, created to assist both visitors and local residents, patrols popular tourist areas, natural attractions, mountain regions, and the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul. To carry out its duties, the unit is equipped with cars, motorcycles, and specialized gear for work in mountainous areas, on water, and in open terrain.

Security infrastructure has also been expanded nationwide. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, approximately 10,000 surveillance cameras now monitor public spaces, tourist sites, and other key locations across the country, strengthening security and improving incident response.

Issyk-Kul, one of Kyrgyzstan's most popular tourist destinations, remains a key focus of these efforts. Authorities continue to improve beach safety, protect the lake’s environment, and combat illegal activities such as poaching and unauthorized fishing. Horseback patrol units have also been introduced to help protect wildlife and natural areas.

For travelers, these developments reflect Kyrgyzstan's commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment alongside the natural beauty for which the country is best known.

Discover Kyrgyzstan with Advantour. Since 2003, our local team has been helping travelers explore the country through group and custom tours.?

European Airspace Reopens to Kyrgyz Airlines After 20 Years of Restrictions

As of June 9, aviation restrictions on the Kyrgyz Republic have been lifted. The announcement was made by European Commission spokesperson Anna-Kaisa Itkonen.

“This decision is the result of many years of work to improve flight safety and reform the country’s civil aviation system. This is a historic moment for Kyrgyzstan”, said Anna-Kaisa Itkonen.

Kyrgyzstan had remained on the European Union’s aviation blacklist for two decades. Securing its removal was a long-standing national priority and a topic raised by every president and in every parliamentary session since 2006.

The decision opens new opportunities for the expansion of international air connections. One project already under consideration is the launch of a direct flight between Bishkek and France.

Marriott is Coming to Issyk-Kul: Five-Star Resort Planned for Cholpon-Ata

A hotel operated by Marriott Hotels, the world’s largest hotel chain, is set to open in the Issyk-Kul region. An agreement was signed in Bishkek between Marriott International and the international company group RAMS Global, which will oversee construction of the project.

The new hotel will form part of the premium Issyk Kul Marriott Resort, a large-scale resort complex to be developed in Cholpon-Ata. The property will feature 120 hotel rooms and suites, as well as private villas. Guests can expect Marriott’s signature standards, from the renowned Greatroom concept to high-quality service.

"The arrival of global hotel brands in Kyrgyzstan takes international recognition of our tourism potential to a new level. This is a landmark development. At the same time, we remain committed to authentic tourism and will continue developing mountain destinations, trekking opportunities, and other forms of active travel", said Eduard Kubatov, Head of the State Agency for Tourism Development.

Many travelers interested in Central Asia face the same dilemma: should they choose the region's spectacular landscapes or its rich cultural heritage?

This itinerary means you don't have to choose.

Our 14-day Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan group tour brings together two very different sides of Central Asia in a single journey. During the first week, you'll travel through Kyrgyzstan, cross mountain passes, visit alpine lakes, spend time at Son-Kul Lake and in Karakol, and learn about the traditions of Kyrgyz nomads. The second week takes you to the ancient cities of Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand, and Tashkent, where you'll discover Uzbekistan and some of the Silk Road's most celebrated destinations.

It is this combination that makes the tour so memorable. Just as importantly, the tour makes it easy to experience both countries in comfort. Hotels, domestic flights, transfers, train tickets, guides, entrance fees, cultural performances, and selected meals are all arranged for you. Rather than spending months coordinating travel plans across two countries, you can focus on enjoying the journey.

There are only two departures remaining for 2026:
August 8
September 5

The tour price - US$ 3,190 per person

Both departures are 100% guaranteed, even if only one traveler has booked.

If you're looking for a journey that showcases Central Asia's landscapes, cultures, and history in a single trip, this is one of the most complete itineraries we offer.

Why Kyrgyzstan Is Becoming a Global Travel Trend

Every year, Kyrgyzstan attracts more travelers looking for spectacular landscapes, mountain scenery, and outdoor adventures far from the crowds of mainstream tourist destinations.

It is no surprise that the country earned a place on 'The New York Times' prestigious list of the best travel destinations for 2026 (you can read more about this in our previous post https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DGZQSfzGJ/ ). Kyrgyzstan has also been featured repeatedly in 'National Geographic Traveler' recommendations as one of the world's top destinations for photography tours and nature-based travel.

A glance at the landscape explains why. More than 90% of Kyrgyzstan's territory is covered by mountains. Travelers encounter the snow-capped peaks of the Tien Shan, high-altitude lakes, alpine meadows, picture-perfect gorges, and trekking routes ranging from easy walks to demanding expeditions. Many visitors come specifically to experience places where they can spend hours surrounded by nature without seeing another tourist.

Part of Kyrgyzstan's appeal lies in its living nomadic traditions, which remain an important part of everyday life. During your journey, you can stay in traditional yurts on summer pastures, learn about local customs, and experience a way of life that has remained closely connected to nature for centuries.

If you have already traveled extensively around the world, Kyrgyzstan still has the power to surprise you.
