Karakol Visitor Center & Services

"Destination Karakol's staff are fantastic - extremely knowledgable about what's great in and around Karakol and amazingly well-connected to the tourism industry both in town and across the rest of the country. Their wide variety of local experiences are a great introduction to the city, and a great way to relax for a few days in between trips up into the mountains that make up so much of this beautiful country. For tips on where to stay, what to do, and how to do it these guys are a fantastic source of information on having an authentic experience in Karakol and Kyrgyzstan."

"Running into Aman (Visitor Center staff) in Karakol was the harbinger for one of the best days of my three weeks spent in Kyrgyzstan, which is in fact an amazing country to visit. Through Aman and Rakhat I was able to thoroughly discover Kyrgyzstan. I felt and experienced Kyrgyzstan's different cultures, making it also an educational experience. It supported also the rest of my trip in terms of understanding the events and happenings I ran into."

"The food tour with Destination Karakol is a must do as it gives an insider's guide to some of the most delicious local food in town. Aman is also an excellent guide, and my trip was definitely enriched with more knowledge on the diverse ethnicity and culture of this region. A highlight of my trip to Kyrgyzstan!"

"Only thanks to the work of Destination Karakol, our town became number #1 tourist destination. Products (tour packages) developed by the Destination help not only to the development of the town in general, but also help the community (community development) in general in this spirit."
