Back in 2014, we opened the doors of our hostel in Bishkek, expecting a simple flow of travelers. But we quickly realized that our guests came not just for a place to sleep. They asked questions we weren’t prepared to answer — how to experience the real Kyrgyzstan, where to find adventure, and what to explore beyond the usual tourist trails.


A challenge that changed everything
We understood that standard tours weren’t enough. Our guests wanted more than just stunning landscapes — they wanted to feel the country. That challenge pushed us to start crafting custom-made journeys: some dreamed of sleeping in a yurt, others wanted to ride horses deep into the mountains, while some simply longed to share dinner with a local family. And that’s how the idea that changed everything was born.
The beginning of a new path
We stepped beyond the hostel walls and created Tunduk Travel — a travel company rooted in family values and a deep love for our culture. Recently in 2026, the government of Kyrgyzstan launched a national tourism online platform under the same name, as our brand was not officially trademarked; we had to change our name to avoid confusion

The name is easy to remember. It’s clear and understandable for foreigners – our main guests. It expresses the “WoW” emotion. Tourism is about emotions. That’s what we create and share. Our name reflect who we are: a team focused on real experiences, genuine connections, and the kind of moments that make you say “Wow”.
What makes us different
We believe Kyrgyzstan is best discovered through genuine human connection. Our journeys go beyond sightseeing — they open doors to people, traditions, and real life. This is how stories are born. Our routes lead to the heart of Kyrgyzstan — as we know and love it.
Family is at the heart of everything
This journey has been a family one. Our parents laid the foundation by teaching us to respect and cherish our land. Our team of guides became like family too — not just professionals, but true ambassadors of Kyrgyz culture and hospitality. Together, we welcome guests like old friends and take them on unforgettable journeys.
