Bishkek - Burana Tower - Boom Gorge - Eagle Hunting Show - Overnight Yurt Stay

Burana Tower Tours - Begin the day with a pickup from your Bishkek hotel by your guide and driver, heading eastward. Travel through the lush Chui Valley along the Kazakh border, taking in the stunning views of the snow-capped Tien Shan Mountains and quaint local villages. Discover the 11th-century Burana Tower, a significant historical site from the ancient Silk Road city of Balasagun. Climb to the top for a breathtaking view of the valley, explore the small archaeological museum, and wander among the open-air collection of ancient balbals (stone warrior statues).

Boom Gorge - Continue the adventure through the magnificent Boom Gorge, a natural passage between Bishkek and Issyk-Kul. Here, the Chu River winds through red-rock cliffs and verdant valleys. Pause for lunch at a local café, savoring national puff cakes with sour cream and tea brewed in a Russian samovar.

Bokonbayevo - Arrive at Bokonbaevo on the southern shore of Issyk-Kul Lake, the heart of Kyrgyz nomadic culture. Experience a live Golden Eagle Hunting Show, where a local berkutchi (eagle hunter) showcases ancient falconry traditions, Taigan hunting dogs, and Kyrgyz archery. Spend the night in a cozy yurt camp by the lake, enjoying a traditional dinner under the stars.

Bokonbaevo → Skazka Canyon → Barskoon Waterfall → Jeti Oguz → Karakol

Barskoon Waterfall - Venture into Barskoon Valley, renowned for its waterfalls cascading from alpine forests. Visit the “Tears of a Leopard” waterfall and see the monument to Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, who once vacationed here.

Jeti-Oguz Canyon (Seven Bulls Rocks) - Explore the picturesque “Seven Bulls” — towering red-sandstone cliffs — and the “Broken Heart Rock.” Enjoy a short hike or horse ride through the lush meadows and mountain rivers before proceeding to Karakol.

Karakol - Karakol, the fourth-largest city in Kyrgyzstan, is located near the eastern tip of Lake Issyk-Kul, approximately 150 kilometers (93 miles) from the Kyrgyzstan–China border and 380 kilometers (240 miles) from the capital, Bishkek. It serves as the administrative capital of the Issyk-Kul Region.

Karakol → Semenovka & Grigorievka Gorges → Bishkek

Karakol - Discover Karakol’s delightful blend of cultures and architecture. Visit the vibrant Dungan Mosque (constructed without a single nail), the wooden Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity, and the lively local market.

Semenovka - On the return journey, travel along the northern shore of Issyk-Kul through these twin alpine gorges. Snow-capped peaks, pine forests, and crystal-clear streams make this area one of Kyrgyzstan’s most scenic landscapes — ideal for picturesque stops and photography.

Kyrchin - Located on the north shore of Lake Issyk-Kul, 40 km east of the resort town of Cholpon-Ata, above the village of Semyonovka, lies one of the most beautiful spots in the Issyk-Kul region – Kyrchyn Gorge (Semyonov Gorge).

The gorge stretches 30 km long. The pristine mountain river of glacier water, Ak-Suu, flows along the gorge’s base, with majestic Tian-Shan spruce adorning the slopes. During spring and summer, the fresh mountain air is filled with the fragrance of aromatic alpine grasses.

Semyonov Gorge is a major tourist attraction in the Kyrgyz Republic and a must-visit for tourists vacationing at Issyk-Kul. In the summer, yurts are set up here, offering visitors the chance to try traditional Kyrgyz dishes. Horse excursions in the gorge can also be arranged for those who enjoy riding.
