Itinerary
1
Bishkek - Burana Tower
On the way, stop at the UNESCO World Heritage site Burana Tower. This ancient structure dates back to the 11th century so it’s really worth your visit. We shall spend around 30 minutes here contemplating splendid views from the top of the tower, walking around to see the balbals (ancient stones with the depictions) and visiting the archaeology museum with the antique artifacts. Resuming our way to Issyk Kul.

Burana Tower - Cholpon Ata town
Upon arrival in Cholpon Ata (central town of the lake’s northern coast) we’ll visit the Historical Museum where you can trace the entire history of Kyrgyzstan in a matter of minutes. Lunch at the restaurant. Now it’s time for the cherry on the cake - a stunning boat ride out on the lake. After roaming 8km the boat will stop at the depth of 150m. In the hot season (May-September) you can dive into the water and enjoy the surreal swim (life jackets provided). In the other seasons you will have no less beautiful time on the boat. After this gorgeous experience we’re heading to another fancy place - spiritual center Rukh Ordo which is dedicated to the 5 main religions in the world. Here you will find a great peace of meditation. Return to Bishkek.
