History, mountains, culture, and a lake like no other — all in one unforgettable day.

Start your day with a hotel pick-up in Bishkek and head to the legendary Burana Tower, a symbol of Kyrgyzstan’s Silk Road past. Explore ancient ruins, climb the tower for sweeping mountain views, and learn the fascinating stories behind this historic site.

Continue through the scenic Boom Gorge, where green hills meet red clay canyons carved by the Chu River. Take a break to enjoy traditional Kyrgyz snacks and tea from a Russian samovar in the heart of nature.

Arriving in Cholpon-Ata on the shore of Issyk-Kul, you’ll dive into Kyrgyz heritage at the Historical Museum, marvel at ancient petroglyphs in an open-air museum, and stroll through the spiritual and cultural complex of Rukh Ordo, set against a stunning mountain and lake backdrop.

Then, enjoy the highlight of the day — a peaceful boat ride on Issyk-Kul Lake, the world’s second-largest alpine lake. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, you’ll have the chance to take in the views or even swim in its clear, cool waters.

To complete the experience, relax in natural hot springs, where warm, mineral-rich waters and optional spa treatments leave you refreshed and recharged.

After a full day of discovery and relaxation, return to Bishkek in the evening with incredible memories in your heart.
