About us
Mars Travel is an independent Kyrgyz travel company that designs authentic, small-group adventures across Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia. We connect travelers with the untamed beauty of our mountains, lakes, and nomadic culture while supporting local families and preserving the landscapes we love.
Our story
My name is Gulmairam Marsova, and Mars Travel is the journey of my life.
I began working in tourism long before marriage, guiding visitors through Kyrgyzstan’s hidden valleys and high passes.
In 2013 I married and shifted behind the scenes, helping my husband with tour logistics.
After our divorce, with three young children to raise, I paused my travel career and taught English in a village school in Toktogul—close to home, close to my kids.
This year, everything changed: my youngest daughter started school. With my children growing independent, I returned to the work that lights my heart—creating extraordinary adventures for travelers.
