Itinerary

Day 1. Bishkek
Way to Bokonbaevo village

 

Pick up from the airport and you will start your tour directly from it.
Your first stop will be the Burana Tower - the ancient silk road minaret, which is a heritage of UNESCO and Kyrgyzstan nowadays. You will have the chance to climb the 25 meters Tower, to see the surrounding area from the Top. Silk Road Caravans used to stop here to rest as the center of the Balasagun city, which was established by the Karakhanids at the end of the 9th century. 

The whole complex consist of the mausoleums, castle foundation and grave markers (balbals, located around and were created by the ancient Turkic tribes). The small museum as part of the complex contains historical information and  artifacts found at the site and in the surrounding region. Visiting this historical site will help you to move into the atmosphere of the 12th century and see firsthand the most ancient artifacts.

Lunch you will have in the cafe on the road.

After you will continue the trip through the Boom Gorge, which is a kind of a thread that connects three regions - Chui, Issyk-Kul and Naryn. On the way you can enjoy watching beautiful views of high mountains - somewhere steep and rocky, as well as the rapid flow of the Chu River.
Check-in in the yurt camp on arrival in Bokonbayevo. Bokonbaevo village is a picturesque village on the southern shore of the lake Issyk-Kul, which is the center of ecological tourism in Kyrgyzstan. We will acquaint you with simple rural life and with the original Kyrgyz traditions. 

Have some rest in the Yurt camp and after you will go to the holy place of "Manjyly-Ata". The fame of Mandjyly-Ata, acquired at the end of the 17th-century, is explained by the mention of the "Manas" in the epic as a sacred place for the Kyrgyz. "Manjyly-Ata" is a whole valley, which is a whole labyrinth of shallow gorges between clay hilly steppes and healing springs. Researchers call these places natural geo-anomalous zones, where cosmic energy is concentrated.
Return to the yurt camp. You will have national food for the dinner. Overnight stay in the yurt.
