    Asked on August 7th, 2026

    is the 40 min walk in Charyn Canyon steep and uneven road

    Tour Details
    • S

      Susan

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      Do we need to get a multiple entry visa for Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.

    • Central Asia Travel LPOperator•Written August 2026

      Charyn Canyon walk: it's an easy, non-technical walk on a dirt/rocky track, not steep overall, but the ground is uneven in spots and the return leg is uphill if you walk down to the river.

    • Central Asia Travel LPOperator•Written August 2026

      For a Philippines passport: Kyrgyzstan requires a visa (the easy e-visa route is single-entry only, 30–60 days; multiple-entry would need an embassy visa instead). Uzbekistan also requires a visa, but the e-visa offers a choice of single or multiple entry, valid 90 days with up to 30 days stay.

    • S

      Susan

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      based on the itinerary, we need only a single entry. However it says we need an invitation from a citizen and asking for details of the inviting party. Once we book, will that info be provided to us.

    • S

      Susan

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      5 of us are all seniors 70 and above. The pace of tour is easy for seniors? Is there an option that we dont walk down the river if we see at that time there will be difficulty.

    • Central Asia Travel LPOperator•Written August 2026

      The walk in Charyn Canyon is generally easy and non-technical. However, the trail is uneven in some sections, and the path back from the river is uphill. If anyone in your group prefers not to walk down to the river, they may remain at the viewpoint while the rest of the group visits the river.

    • Central Asia Travel LPOperator•Written August 2026

      For Philippine passport holders, both Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan require visas. For your itinerary, a single-entry Kyrgyzstan visa is sufficient. Uzbekistan offers both single-entry and multiple-entry e-visas, and a single-entry visa is also sufficient for this tour. Once your booking is confirmed, we will provide the necessary invitation documents and supporting information required for your visa application.
