Itinerary

Bishkek
In the morning, you’ll be picked up from your hotel to embark on an exciting tour. We’ll journey towards Burana Tower, located in the small town of Tokmok. Along the way, you’ll drive along the border with Kazakhstan and, weather permitting, enjoy breathtaking views of the Tien Shan mountains.  As we continue, you’ll traverse several charming villages, providing a glimpse into the daily life of locals beyond the capital.

Burana Tower
We’ll stop at the UNESCO World Heritage site Burana Tower. This ancient tower, dating back to the 11th century, holds significant historical value and is definitely worth a visit.

We’ll spend some time here, taking in the magnificent views from the top of the tower, exploring the balbals (ancient stones with depictions), and visiting the archaeology museum showcasing antique artifacts. Afterward, we’ll continue our journey towards Issyk Kul.

Kok Moinok Canyons
The hike starts at the end of Boom Gorge. It’s a 30 minutes hike(one-way) through a fascinating maze of rocks and red sandstone columns.

Along the trail, you’ll find plenty of opportunities for capturing memorable photos and enjoy the playful twists and turns of the path.

The highlight of the hike is the breathtaking panoramic view, where you can see layers of canyons to the north and green meadows and mountains to the south. Take a break, soaking in the remarkable beauty of the cliffs, before starting the return journey.

Bishkek
We’ll be back in the city around in the evening, and after a day filled with incredible experiences, you’ll likely feel pleasantly tired. Our tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel. Have a restful night!
