Son-Kul + The Southern shore of Issyk-Kul

Early in the morning, we will set off from Bishkek to meet adventures. The road will pass through picturesque valleys and mountain ranges, where every kilometer reveals new landscapes and stunning views. On the way, we will visit the Burana Tower, an ancient minaret from the 12th-13th centuries. You will be able to climb to the top of the tower and enjoy panoramic views, walk through the gallery of balbals - stone sculptures of the Turkic period-and see open-air petroglyphs collected from different regions of the country. Our guides will tell exciting stories about life in the ancient city and its significance in the history of the region. After arriving at the southern shore of Issyk-Kul, you will have a tasty lunch, accommodation in a cozy hotel, and free time to relax and take a walk along the beach, swim in the crystal waters of the lake, or ride horses through the picturesque surroundings. In the evening, a very delicious dinner awaits you. Under the starry sky, you will hear a quiet splashing of waves and be able to share the first impressions with the participation of your group and to enjoy the moment.

After a hearty breakfast, we'll leave for one of the most beautiful places in Kyrgyzstan: Son-Kul Lake, placed at 3020 meters above sea level. The route will run through dirt roads, opening breathtaking views of the mountain landscapes. The closer to the lake, the more the landscape changes, and the endless expanses of the plateau open before you, where nomads still lead their traditional way of life. You'll see yurts and grazing herds and feel the spirit of freedom. Upon arrival, have a great lunch of local cuisine. Then, retire to authentic, cozy felt yurts where you will feel part of this ancient culture. In the afternoon, one can suggest going on an afternoon horseback walk on the lakeshore and its surrounding hills. Indeed, it is a great opportunity to feel like a real nomad, to feel closer to nature, and the surrounding silence and beauty of such spots. In the evening, after dinner, you will have a unique opportunity to observe the Milky Way in all its glory. The high altitude and the absence of city lights allow you to see the stars like nowhere else.

In the morning, we will start our day with a delicious breakfast and start packing for home. Enroute, we shall stop atop serpentine road known as "33 parrots". A breathtaking view of the gorge is available from here and you can take amazing photos for memory. On the way, we will have lunch in one of the most picturesque places, where you will be able to enjoy delicious food and beautiful views around. By evening, we will arrive in the capital. This will be the end of our journey, but the impressions and emotions will stay with you for a long time.
