Community Based Tourism, or CBT, has offices throughout Kyrgyzstan, although their central office is located in Bishkek. CBT is an excellent resource for those travelling through Kyrgyzstan.
Located in the center of the small village of Kochkor, CBT Kochkor will arrange homestays, horse-trekking, hikes and more for those interested. Additionally, they work in cooperation with the Altyn Kol group, which provides a place for local women to sell their handmade traditional felt goods, specifically shyrdaks, traditional Kyrgyz rugs.
