Highlights of Kyrgyzstan (11 days)

This compact but action-packed tour will take you on a journey through some of Kyrgyzstan’s most beautiful landscapes. Begin in the capital city Bishkek, where you can contrast the stark Soviet architecture of the city centre with the picturesque scenery at the nearby Ala Archa National Park. Depart the city and embark on an overland journey towards Kyrgyzstan’s second city Karakol, passing the famous Burana Tower, the gorgeous Chon Kemin Valley, and along the northern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul. Karakol is an excellent base for hiking and exploring the nearby countryside, and after a couple of days here you will travel back along the less developed southern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul, to stop at the village of Bokonbaev, an excellent place to experience some traditional Kyrgyz culture with an eagle-hunting show. The highlight of this tour is undoubtedly a two-night stay at an authentic yurt camp on the shore of Son-Kul Lake, where you can get a real taste of nomadic life.
