Today we will go to the Burana Tower. Located in the Chui Valley in northern Kyrgyzstan, it was built in the late 9th century and has been listed as a World Heritage site, with high archaeological value. Inside the tower are steep, curved steps, so be careful not to fall. After climbing to the top floor, you can overlook the surrounding scenery. Next we will go to the Chon Kemin Valley to enjoy rolling hills, lush grasslands and dense fir trees on the slopes. Tonight we will stay at the edge of the Kemin Village, which is so close to the mountains. If you don't want to hike, you can rent a horse to trek in the Chon Kemin Valley at your own expense.

Today we are going to the north shore of the largest and most beautiful lake in Kyrgyzstan, Issyk-Kul Lake. This lake is deep and large with high salinity, so does not freeze all year round. First we will visit the New Nomad Museum in Sary-Oi. Next we will go to the holiday resort Cholpon Ata, where you can see thousands of old open-air petroglyphs. It is great to enjoy a sunbathing on the beach, swim in the blue waters of the lake, or spend a leisurely afternoon doing nothing in summer season.
