Itinerary
- Burana Tower: In the morning after pickup from your hotel we’re starting our beautiful adventure. The first location ahead is the UNESCO World Heritage listed Burana Tower, a minaret from the 11th century. We’ll spend about 30 minutes exploring this historical gem: climb on the top of the tower for panoramic views of Chuy valley, walk around balbals (ancient stones with depictions) and visit the archeological museum with antique items. Moving on.
- After a 1,5 hour drive we’re reaching Kok Moinok - a mesmerizing, compact canyon that offers some otherworldly views! Here, we’re embarking on the loveliest, easy hike to explore the canyon’s inner labyrinths. Taking photos on the panoramic platform and enjoying the absolute tranquility. Returning back to the car. Now it’s time for the well earned lunch in a road cafe.
- Issyk-Ata Gorge: Afterwards, we’re moving back towards Bishkek but taking another way, through the picturesque Issyk Ata valley. And here is where we’re visiting the natural hot spring pools. It’s time to relax! And don’t forget to bring your swimwear ;) Soaking in the pools for about 20-30 minutes. Now it’s time to be returning back. Driving to Bishkek over a small mountain pass (1 hour). Upon arrival in the city you’ll be dropped off at your hotel. End of the tour. Have a beautiful evening!
