Itinerary
1
Bishkek - Burana Tower
On the way, we're stopping 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'll spend about 30 minutes here contemplating splendid views from the top of the tower, walking around to see the balbals (ancient stones with depictions) and visiting the archaeology museum with antique artifacts. Resuming our way to Issyk Kul.
2
Burana Tower - Cholpon Ata town
Upon arrival in Cholpon Ata (central town of the lake’s north coast) we're having lunch at a restaurant. Now it’s time for the cherry on the cake - a stunning ship ride out on the lake. After roaming 4km away the ship will stop at the depth of 120 meters. In the warm season (May-September) you can dive into the water and enjoy a surreal swim (life jackets provided). In other seasons you will have no less beautiful time on the lake. After this gorgeous experience we’re heading to another fancy place - spiritual center Rukh Ordo which is dedicated to the 5 main religions of the world and the Kyrgyz heritage as well. Here you will find a great peace of meditation. Returning back to Bishkek.
