Issyk-Kul 2-Day Adventure
About This Tour
Issyk-Kul is a sea in the mountains: 180 kilometers long, ringed by snow-capped ridges, warm enough to swim in and so clear you can count the pebbles below. They call it the "Pearl of Central Asia" — two days here and you'll call it the highlight of your trip.
We'll swim from sandy beaches, walk through the flame-red spires of Fairy Tale Canyon, visit local cultural sites and feast on fresh regional cuisine. The night is spent right by the lake, so you fall asleep to the water and wake up to sunrise over the mountains.
