In the morning we're meeting at Ala Too square in Bishkek and heading straight towards the Issyk Kul region (230km).
Itinerary
1 day
Bishkek - Burana Tower - Konorchek canyon - Bel Tam yurt camp
On the way, stop at the famous 11th century Burana Tower. 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. On the way, we're visiting the picturesque Konorchek canyon for a light but awesome hike. Moving on. Lunch in a road cafe. Driving towards Issyk Kul's south shore. Arrival at Bel Tam yurt camp that is located on the wild beach. Free time for exploring the camp. Dinner in a big kitchen yurt. Bonfire under the starry sky and tasting the local beer (optional). Overnight in yurts.
2 day
Bel Tam - Skazka canyon - Ak Sai canyons - Bishkek
In the morning we're heading to the famous nearby Skazka canyon (Fairy Tale). Beautiful hike for about an hour. Driving to the neighboring Ak Sai village to witness a breathtaking eagle hunting process. 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 and nice hike up to the magical Canyon of Forgotten Rivers. Now it's time to drive back to Bishkek. 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!
