about us
Your Trusted Guides to the Real Experience
Our company's name is "Shepherd's House". And that's our essence. A shepherd's house is always simple and warm, and guests are given the best place by the hearth. Shepherds House is our family. My husband, Jonathan, came to Kyrgyzstan in 2015. He served in the British Army and has a clear understanding of true service and attention to detail. And I, Saule, grew up here, on this land. I know every path, can negotiate with any local, and feel our culture from the inside.
We've never strived for quantity. For us, a guest isn't a number in a report, but a person with their own story. Jonathan leads groups himself as an experienced guide, and I ensure that every detail of your trip is thought through. We believe that only in this way – by caring for our land – can we create fair tourism. We invite you to our world.
We create immersive and sustainable experiences that connect travelers with Kyrgyzstan’s untamed beauty. Our goal is to offer unforgettable adventures while directly fostering economic growth and development in our rural communities.
We strive to make travel a powerful force for good. By empowering local artisans, guides, and families, we ensure that every journey leaves a positive, lasting impact. We proudly allocate 10% of our yearly income to charities in Aksuu, supporting sustainable regional development.
Jonathan traded his British military career for the quiet majesty of the Tien Shan mountains, making Kyrgyzstan his home in 2015. As our lead guide, he brings a deep, genuine love for Central Asia's wild landscapes and vibrant history. With his extensive experience and dedication to exceptional hospitality, Jonathan ensures your mountain adventure is not only safe and highly personalized, but truly unforgettable.
Born and raised in Kyrgyzstan, Saule is the organizational mastermind and the welcoming soul of Shepherd's House. She serves as your personal bridge to the rich, authentic traditions of Kyrgyz culture. While Jonathan guides you on the trails, Saule works her magic behind the scenes—meticulously planning every detail and handling all logistics to ensure your journey is completely seamless and worry-free.
