Tour Bishkek-Issyk-Kul-Burana-Bishkek
for 2 days

Today you will be transferred to the celestial Issyk Kul Lake, the second largest alpine lake in the world (1608 m above sea level). Its length is 180 km and it is 60 km wide. The lake is called the "pearl of Central Asia". For more than 1500 years, local people considered the lake to be a sacred one. Thanks to the salty water, Lake Issyk Kul possesses curative qualities. In Cholpon Ata town, you will visit Rukh Ordo, a unique cultural and spiritual complex of culture and tolerance of religious diversity. Located right on the shore of the lake, it perfectly demonstrates its beauty and magnificence. Here you will also see ancient stone inscriptions (dating back to 800 B.C.). These petroglyphs were made more than 2000 years ago by shamans. Also, you will visit the local ethnography museum. Your night is in a hotel.

Today you transfer to Bishkek city. On the way, you will visit Burana Tower. It is a minaret from the 11th century. Burana Tower was used during the Great Silk Road as a sign for travelers that there was a city to rest in. Nearby, you will see an open-air museum of Balbals (stone warriors). After an interesting excursion and climbing to the top of the tower, you will be transferred to the Kyrgyz capital. In the afternoon, you will visit the Asian bazaar, where you will be able to take a lot of dynamic photos of bustling local life. This bazaar is a noisy and colorful tapestry of fabrics, produce, and people selling and buying goods.
