Solto Holidays
About Solto Holidays Team
Welcome to Solto Holidays – your gateway to the real heart of Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia. We are more than just a tour operator; we are storytellers, culture-keepers, nature-enthusiasts and your local companions on an unforgettable journey. Established by our founder, Aidana Kamchybek kyzy, Solto Holidays was born from a deep love for this land, its people and its wild, unspoiled beauty.
Our Beginning
The story begins in 2018, when Aidana, who had been guiding on foot and on horseback around Kyrgyzstan, realized that many travellers were seeking more than the standard postcard views. They wanted to feel the rhythm of nomadic life, taste real Kyrgyz cuisine, ride through mountain meadows, and linger by alpine lakes under silent stars.
From those early days, Solto Holidays grew out of a simple belief: that travel should be personal, meaningful and rooted in authenticity. Instead of standard itineraries, we design tailor-made journeys – from single-day explorations around Bishkek to multiday treks and horseback adventures across the Tien Shan.
What We Stand For
Authenticity – We bring you into the life of local people. Stay in homes, savour meals cooked over open fire in yurts, learn traditions passed down through generations. As Aidana says, “These tours are for people who want to see the real Kyrgyzstan.”
Nature & Adventure – Kyrgyzstan is raw, untamed and wild. Mountains rising above 7,000 m, alpine meadows, glacial lakes, remote valleys – all of these are in our playground. We take you off the beaten track, into places where only a few travellers venture.
Tailor-Made Experience – Whether you’re after a cultural day tour from Bishkek, a week-long trek to Ala-Kol, or a horseback journey through horse country, we build the tour around you: your pace, your interests, your comfort.
Sustainable & Respectful Travel – We believe in responsible tourism. We work with local guides, drivers and communities. We respect tradition and nature. We aim for connections, not just visits.
Our Team & Approach
At the heart of our company is Aidana. Her love for this land and its people sets the tone for everything we do. From day one she has been in the field, guiding guests, building relationships in villages, discovering hidden trails – and this hands-on experience shapes the quality and authenticity of our tours. 
Our team is composed of experienced local guides who speak English (and often other languages). Our drivers know the mountains. Our logistics are crafted to adapt to the changing seasons, weather, and surprises that nature so generously provides.
We believe that every journey is a conversation – between you and the land, you and the people, you and your memories. And we’re here to make that conversation rich.
Our Vision & Mission
Our vision: to make Kyrgyzstan recognized not only for its mountains and lakes but for its living traditions, its warm hospitality, and its ability to reset your perspective.
Our mission: to design and deliver tailor-made journeys that open your heart and mind to Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia – with respect, authenticity and joy.
What We Offer
Day Tours from Bishkek
For travellers with limited time, but who still want to feel the mountain air, meet local shepherds, walk by alpine lakes, or ride a horse for a few hours.

Multi-Day Private Tours (1–12 days)
From deep explorations of Kyrgyzstan’s heartlands to comfortable journeys that let you immerse slowly. Choose how active you want to be: more car, some trekking, or full adventure.

Trekking & Horse Riding Tours
If you love to walk or ride in remote places, we’ll lead you to places like Ala-Kol, Kol-Ukok lakes and beyond, under open skies and near wild horses.


Cultural & Culinary Experiences
In our cooking tours you’ll learn to make Kyrgyz traditional meals in a local house, share stories with families, and understand the culture from the inside.


Central Asia Multi-Country Journeys
Not just Kyrgyzstan: we also arrange tours across Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan) — for those who want to go further and explore the Silk Road’s heartland.
Why Travel With Us
We speak your language (English and more) and we understand your need for personal connections.
We are local. Being based in Kyrgyzstan gives us an edge: we know hidden tracks, secret mountain lakes, welcoming families and landscapes that change with the seasons.
We customise. From the moment you contact us, we discuss your arrival date, your desired pace, your age group (families, couples, solo), your preferred style of travel (active, mixed, relaxed).
We care. It’s not just about ticks on a checklist. It’s about the light on the lake at dawn, the taste of fresh tea by the yurt, the smile of a shepherd’s daughter, the peace of a high-altitude meadow.
We deliver value. In a world of mass tourism, we offer genuine moments and memories that last.

A Few Words From Our Founder

CEO Aidana Kamchybek Kyzy
My name is Aidana and I love Kyrgyzstan. I started working as a guide in 2018 and fell in love with tourism. I will be glad to organize you on a tour where you can see the life of local people, taste Kyrgyz food and have a good time in Kyrgyzstan.
When I first walked across the Son-Kul pastures, I felt the wind of history whispering in the willows. When I rode a horse in Altyn-Arashan, the mountains echoed the laughter of travelers before me. I wanted to share those moments. So I founded Solto Holidays, to build more than tours – to build stories.
Whether you are exploring the rocks and lakes of Kyrgyzstan for the first time or returning to remember, we are here to help you connect – with nature, with culture, with yourself.

Kyrgyzstan is waiting. Its mountains, lakes and traditions stand open-armed. Let us guide you there — with care, wisdom and respect.
