About This Tour

One day, two planets. In the morning you're on Mars — wandering between surreal red rock towers, arches and ridges sculpted by wind over millions of years. By afternoon you're standing at Issyk-Kul, the world's second-largest alpine lake: a warm, crystal-clear sea at 1,600 meters that never freezes.

Swim from the shore, walk the canyon rims, and if the timing is right, watch the sunset turn both the rocks and the water gold. This is the most photogenic day tour we offer — battery fully charged is strongly recommended.
