Day 1: Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to Issyk Kul, Kyrgyzstan

Start time: 8 AM Duration: 11-13 hours Level of difficulty: easy What we suggest to have with you: Hoodie / body warmer, swimwear, towel, flip-flops, sunglasses, sunscreen, camera 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 northern coast) we're having lunch at a restaurant. Now it’s time for the cherry on a 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 hot season (May-September) you can dive into the water and enjoy a surreal swim (life jackets provided). In the other seasons you will have no less beautiful time on the ship. 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 Kyrgyz heritage as well. Here you will find a great peace of meditation. Returning back to Bishkek. 3. Cholpon Ata - Bishkek We’ll arrive in the city at about 8-9pm and after the beautiful day full of experiences you’re gonna be so pleasantly tired. That’s where our tour ends. Drop off at your hotel. Have a good night!
