Best Time to Visit Kyrgyzstan by Season
Summer – The months from May to September are the best times to visit Kyrgyzstan and also the most popular. Weather conditions are perfect for hiking and sightseeing; temperatures are in the 80s and 90s, the skies are clear and the sun shines bright. Mountain passes open up and it’s the best time to travel to Kyrgyzstan for outdoor activities.
Spring and Fall – Kyrgyzstan experiences spring from March to April and fall from October to November. The latter half of spring and the first half of fall are good periods to visit the country. The landscape is particularly striking – snow-capped mountains against a foreground of flower-laden meadows in spring and a landscape awash in shades of yellows, browns and reds during fall. Temperatures are cooler and ideal for sightseeing. Depending on the month, some mountain roads might be inaccessible.
Winter – Kyrgyzstan experiences a bitterly cold winter season with sub-zero temperatures and plenty of snow. While the snow-draped mountainscapes make for a magical sight, travel is limited due to road closures and bad weather conditions. Ski season is in full swing and the country makes for an offbeat and picturesque skiing holiday destination.
What to Pack for a Trip to Kyrgyzstan
The key to packing for a trip to Kyrgyzstan is layering. There are considerable differences in temperatures at different altitudes, and having layers will allow you to dress warm or cool depending on weather conditions. If hiking and outdoor activities are part of your itinerary, pack good-quality hiking pants, long-sleeved T-shirts, and hiking shoes. Weather conditions can change without warning, so it’s best to carry rain gear such as a waterproof jacket and hiking pants. A lightweight fleece jacket will be handy for cooler nights in the mountains.
In urban areas such as Bishkek, denim, T-shirts or tops and dresses work well. If you are planning on visiting a place of worship, pack a scarf and clothing that covers your shoulders and knees.

What Our Guests Say
Enchanting Travels did an excellent job of planning, coordinating, and executing our trip. This was our first trip with Enchanting Travels and we would definitely recommend them and we will definitely use them again. They have an outstanding staff and listened to our needs and developed a trip within our budget. While I was skeptical about having a coordinator in another country, it worked; when we needed help addressing issues, which were minor, they were on it quickly and efficiently and effectively. This is a first rate operation.

We used Enchanting Travels for our honeymoon in Japan, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. They handled everything, making the planning completely stress-free, even down to details like the best seats on the train if you have luggage with you and timing train arrivals to match hotel check in times. Every activity they arranged was absolutely top-tier. The local guides they booked were standout—knowledgeable, flexible, and always ready to adjust or enhance our plans. We couldn’t help but feel fortunate compared to others on group tours, as we had private guides who made us feel like VIPs throughout the trip. The app they provided was also a great tool, keeping everything organized and easily accessible. Thanks to them, our honeymoon was even more memorable than we could have imagined. Highly recommend them for any trip!

What a beautiful time we had in Japan! Can’t wait to go back! Shannon created the most personalized trip for my husband and myself. Everything that was important for us to see or do in Japan she made it happen! Could not ask for a better trip or experience! Emma Silk was there for us the entire journey. She even left me a tea ceremony kit to keep in our first hotel. Enchanting Travels goes above and beyond on their trips and for their customers! We highly recommend. Love, Joel and Tracy Padgett. ♥️😊

Japan was incredible. Experiencing Tokyo and Kyoto was a great balance that showcased the true beauty of this country and its culture. My itinerary had great structure and I never had a worry. I left feeling like there’s nothing more I could’ve seen or done to make my trip better and I think that’s all anyone can ask for!

Enchanting Travels delivers exceptional, personalized travel experiences through their attention to detail. Nothing seems to be too different or not possible. They make it happen. Knowing you have a trip coordinator that is available to you 24/7 gives you a special peace of mind and allows you to focus on your destination and enjoying your trip without concern for the details coming together.

We are truly grateful to have come across Enchanting Travels. After my husband and I tried to plan our trip ourselves…we made the right choice paying for the package we did. It was truly a wonderful experience being able to not worry about transportation and having guides (Keiko & Taku were AMAZING) teach us about the culture, history, and much more. We signed up to have more of the private transfer in Japan than public – so worth it! Everyone was on time and very prompt for every activity we were doing. We just can’t say enough and we will be going to Japan again. Thank you Enchanting Travels!
