2-weeks in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan

Hi! My friend and I are planning a 2-week trip to Central Asia during the World Nomad Games and I’d love a sanity check on the itinerary + budget.

I’m usually a budget traveler (hostels/guesthouses), so this feels a bit expensive to me, but my friend prefers more comfort/luxury so we’re trying to balance both.

Costs (per person):

• Flights (US → Central Asia, Turkish Airlines): ~$1,200 (includes Istanbul stopover)
• Private 8–9 day Kyrgyzstan tour: ~$2,150 (English-speaking guide, private transport, entry fees, most meals, 8 nights hotels/yurts, visiting Bishkek, Issyk-Kul, Song-Kol, Chon-Kemin, and World Nomad Games)
• Uzbekistan hotels: ~$635 (Intercontinental Tashkent, Mercure Bukhara, etc.)

Question:
Does this seem reasonable for what we’re getting, or is this overpaying for Central Asia?

Also open to any general tips for traveling during the World Nomad Games or things we should change.

Thanks!
