OK, let’s set the scene: you’ve decided to visit Kyrgyzstan and of course Issyk Kul lake. But here’s a small problem: your travel plan is pretty limited, so 5 or 3 days around the lake is too much and 1 day isn’t quite enough. What would be a perfect solution? You already know the answer – this fascinating express tour to one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, Issyk Kul! Undoubtedly this one will be the best addition to your packed schedule since the tour covers the most of some really exciting experiences and places of Issyk Kul’s south coast. Although you won’t make it to the north side of the lake, trust us you’re not gonna be left disappointed, for sure! Spend a couple of days hiking in canyons, sleeping in a yurt, visiting historical sites, watching the eagle hunt, trying the national cuisine and more. Two days – hundreds of impressions…
This UNESCO World Heritage site will be of interest to history fiends. We’ll spend about 30 minutes here: climb on top of the tower, visit the archaeology museum and walk around to have a look at balbals (ancient stones with depictions). Resuming our way to Issyk Kul.
Moving on. Lunch in a road cafe. Driving towards Issyk Kul's south shore.
Free time for exploring the camp. Dinner in a big kitchen yurt. Bonfire under the starry sky and tasting the local beer. Overnight in yurts.
Beautiful hike for about an hour.
The Berkutchi (eagle’s owner) will tell you more precisely about this traditional way of hunting and after that you’ll participate in the archery part yourself. Picnic on the wild beach. Swimming and sunbathing. Short but incredible hike to the magical Canyon of Forgotten Rivers.
Upon arrival in the capital city you'll be dropped off at your hotel. Thanks for being a part of this lovely little journey! Bye!
