Discover Kyrgyzstan's mountain landscapes, Silk Road heritage and the shores of Issyk-Kul in one compact private journey.
Highlights
Welcome to Kyrgyzstan
Airport meet & greet and private transfer to your hotel in Bishkek. After check-in and some time to rest, travel south of the city towards Ala-Archa National Park.
Discover one of Kyrgyzstan's most accessible mountain landscapes, surrounded by steep slopes, alpine scenery and the Ala-Archa River. This is an easy mountain day rather than a serious hike. Guests can choose an easy walk, enjoy viewpoints and spend time in the mountains.
If guests arrive later in the day, the programme can be adjusted and Ala-Archa moved to the following morning. Overnight: Bishkek.
From Silk Road history to the lake
After breakfast, leave Bishkek and travel east towards Issyk-Kul. Stop at Burana Tower, near the ancient settlement of Balasagun. The site gives the journey a cultural dimension before continuing into the mountain landscapes towards Issyk-Kul. Continue towards the lake.
Arrive at Issyk-Kul, surrounded by the ranges of the northern Tien Shan. Issyk-Kul is famous for its mountain setting and relatively mild lakeside climate. After hotel check-in, spend the afternoon beside the lake. Depending on the season, guests can enjoy the beach, walk along the shore, relax at the hotel or take an optional boat trip.
Overnight: Issyk-Kul / Cholpon-Ata area.
Lake in the morning, mountains in the afternoon
After breakfast, enjoy a relaxed morning at Issyk-Kul before travelling into one of the mountain valleys on the northern shore.
Explore Grigoriev Gorge with its mountain landscapes, forests and river scenery. This final experience brings the mountains and the lake together in one day without requiring a difficult hike. We can keep the programme flexible depending on road and weather conditions.
Hotel or airport drop-off depending on onward travel. End of journey.
