Itinerary

Bishkek
In the morning, we’ll pick you up from your hotel to begin our trip to Issyk-Kul Lake(230 km).

Burana Tower
On the way, we’ll make a 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 timw 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.

Issyk Kul
Upon reaching Cholpon Ata, the central town on the northern coast of the lake, we’ll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Then comes the highlight of the day: a breathtaking ship ride on the lake. The ship will travel approximately 4km into the lake and stop at a depth of 120 meters.

During the hot season (May-September), you can take a refreshing swim in the lake (life jackets will be provided). In other seasons, you’ll still have a wonderful time enjoying the beauty of the lake from the comfort of the ship.

Cholpon Ata
After the fantastic experience on the lake, we’ll continue to another remarkable destination: the spiritual center Rukh Ordo. This center is dedicated to the five main religions of the world and Kyrgyz heritage, providing a peaceful atmosphere for meditation and reflection. Afterwards, we’ll return to Bishkek, concluding our memorable journey.

Bishkek
We’ll be back in the city around 8-9 pm, 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!
