Supara Chunkurchak

Kyrgyzstan


Run by the same folks as the Supara restaurant complex in Bishkek, this location has all the same splendid national food and cultural offerings plus magnificent hillside yurts and cabins. There's wonderful walking in the hills just beyond, or the hotel can organise horses.

There's no public transport from Bishkek – expect to pay up to 800som each way.
