3-Day Nomadic Adventure: Song-Kul & Issyk-Kul Experience

Day 1: Bishkek – Burana Tower – Boom Gorge – Kalmak Ashuu – Song-Kul LakeYour adventure begins with a hotel pickup in Bishkek. First stop — the iconic Burana Tower, a Silk Road treasure with panoramic views from the top. Then, take a break in Boom Gorge, where you'll enjoy traditional tea brewed in a samovar and crispy katama by the river — a true nomadic ritual.

After a local lunch in Kochkor village, ascend the stunning Kalmak Ashuu Pass (3,000+ meters), spotting yaks, eagles, and nomad herders along the way. By sunset, arrive at Song-Kul Lake, check into your cozy yurt, enjoy a hearty dinner, and fall asleep under a starry sky.

Day 2: Song-Kul – 33 Parrots Pass – Waterfall Hike – Issyk-Kul South ShoreWake up to the serene beauty of Song-Kul. Choose your morning activity — a peaceful horse ride, a lakeside walk, or simply relax in the mountain stillness.

Later, descend via the scenic 33 Parrots Pass and stop for a short hike to a hidden waterfall — a refreshing moment in nature. Then head toward Issyk-Kul’s south shore, where a welcoming yurt camp and lakeside dinner await. In the evening, gather around a bonfire and share stories under the stars.

Day 3: Bokonbaevo – Skazka Canyon – Barskoon Gorge – BishkekAfter breakfast, explore the magical Skazka Canyon — known as “Fairy Tale Canyon” for its surreal, colorful rock formations.
