2-Day Song-Kul Adventure: History, Nature & Nomadic Life

DAY 1 — Bishkek → Burana Tower → Orto-Tokoy → Song-Kul Lake

Start your journey with a morning hotel pickup in Bishkek. First, explore the ancient Burana Tower near Tokmok — climb to the top for stunning views of the Chui Valley and Tien-Shan mountains, visit the museum, and wander among historic mausoleums and rock carvings.

Next, we stop in the breathtaking Boom Gorge for traditional Kyrgyz snacks and tea brewed in a Russian samovar — a true local experience.

At Orto-Tokoy reservoir, enjoy panoramic mountain views and spot Kyrgyzstan’s rare camels grazing nearby.

After a scenic 2-3 hour drive, ascend through changing landscapes — from rocky dunes to lush hills — and meet majestic mountain yaks grazing peacefully. Witness the symbolic alpine edelweiss flowers and take in breathtaking mountain panoramas from Kalmak-Ashuu Pass.

By 5 PM, arrive at the cozy yurt camp by Song-Kul Lake. Relax, explore, and as night falls, gather around a warm fire beneath a stunning starry sky.

DAY 2 — Song-Kul Lake → Kochkor Village → Bishkek

After breakfast, delve deeper into the sacred Song-Kul Lake area, known for its ancient burial mounds and stone monuments.

Embark on a horseback ride to a scenic mountain waterfall, enjoying the tranquil beauty and plenty of photo opportunities along the way. Return riding up to a hilltop viewpoint for panoramic views of the lake and ancient petroglyphs.

Around noon, begin your return to Bishkek, driving through the spectacular Terkey Torpok Pass (aka 33 Parrots) with its winding mountain roads.

Stop for lunch in the traditional village of Kochkor, dining with a local family or at a cozy restaurant.

Arrive in Bishkek in the evening, enjoy a nice dinner (not included), and your guide will drop you off at your hotel.
