Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1: Бишкек, Кыргызстан to Ozero Sonkel', Кыргызстан
Begin your journey in Bishkek and travel through the picturesque Boom Gorge to panoramic views of the Orto-Tokoy Reservoir. After crossing the high-altitude Kalmak-Ashuu Pass at an altitude of 3,446 meters, find yourself on the shores of Lake Son-Kol. Enjoy a traditional lunch at a yurt camp, followed by a 2-hour horseback ride and a relaxing break by the lake. Conclude the evening with dinner and an authentic overnight stay in yurts under a canopy of incredibly bright stars.
Day 2: Ozero Sonkel', Кыргызстан to Kok Kiya Valley, Кыргызстан
After bidding farewell to the high-altitude Son-Kol, head towards Naryn, the country's highest city, where you'll stop for lunch. Continue deep into the At-Bashy district to the mysterious Kok-Kiya Valley. By evening, arrive at a cozy guesthouse located just a few kilometers from the Chinese border. Here, in peace and solitude, rest and recharge before exploring Kyrgyzstan's most unusual lake.
Day 3: Kok Kiya Valley, Кыргызстан to Kel-Suu At-Bashy, Кыргызстан
Begin the morning with breakfast, then head to Kel-Suu Lake, hidden in a deep rock crevice at an altitude of 3,514 meters. Reach it on foot or horseback, enjoying the wild landscapes of the border zone. The highlight will be a motorboat ride on the lake itself: the sheer cliff walls plunge deep into the water, creating the impression of a sci-fi film set. After a busy day and hundreds of photos, return to the guesthouse for a well-deserved dinner.
Day 4: Kel-Suu At-Bashy, Кыргызстан to Бишкек, Кыргызстан
В последний день экспедиции исследуйте скрытую жемчужину региона каньоны Кульжа-Баши—a, где ветер и вода вырезали причудливые архитектурные формы из глины и песчаника. Насладившись "марсианскими" видами, отправляйтесь на обед в сторону Нарына. Путешествие домой проведет вас по знакомым горным хребтам, а прощальный ужин в ущелье Бум станет идеальным временем для обмена фотографиями и впечатлениями. Поздно вечером вернитесь в Бишкек, прихватив с собой частичку волшебства Тянь-Шаня.
