BishkekStart your Bishkek city tour with a lively walk through Osh Bazaar, one of the oldest and busiest markets in the city. Here, you’ll experience the daily rhythm of local life, browse colorful stalls filled with spices, dried fruits, traditional clothes, and handcrafted souvenirs. From the bazaar, continue to Ala-Too Square, the heart of the city, where you’ll see the Manas Monument, the changing of the guards, and surrounding government buildings. Next, explore Old Square and the peaceful Oak Park, filled with sculptures, leafy paths, and Soviet-era landmarks. Conclude the tour with a visit to the stunning Central Mosque, a masterpiece of modern Islamic architecture and one of the largest mosques in Central Asia. This route offers a perfect blend of culture, history, and local atmosphere in a single day.
- After the city tour, we will proceed to the Burana Tower, which is located about 80 kilometers east of Bishkek. The drive takes around 1.5 hours. Along the way, you’ll enjoy scenic views of the Chuy Valley with its wide-open fields, small Kyrgyz villages, and distant mountain ranges. We’ll be traveling on a well-paved road, passing by local farms, roadside fruit sellers, and occasional flocks of sheep or cattle grazing near the highway. It’s a peaceful and picturesque route that gives you a glimpse of rural life in northern Kyrgyzstan. (pass by)

Burana TowerAt Burana Tower, we’ll explore one of the most important historical sites in Kyrgyzstan. This ancient minaret, dating back to the 11th century, was part of the medieval city of Balasagun—once a thriving stop along the Great Silk Road. You’ll have a chance to climb the narrow spiral staircase to the top of the tower for a panoramic view of the surrounding valley and mountains. Nearby, you’ll also see a small open-air museum featuring balbals (ancient Turkic stone warrior statues) and petroglyphs. It’s a fascinating place to step back in time and connect with Kyrgyzstan’s Silk Road heritage.
-
KeminAfter visiting the Burana Tower, we will continue our journey to Kemin town, which takes about one hour by car. As we drive, you’ll notice the landscape slowly changing from open fields to more mountainous terrain. Once we arrive in Kemin, we’ll stop at a cozy roadside restaurant for lunch. Here, you can enjoy a delicious homemade meal prepared with fresh local ingredients. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, giving you a chance to rest and recharge before we continue our journey.
- After lunch, we will proceed to Boom Gorge, the scenic natural passage connecting the Chui Valley to the Issyk-Kul region. The gorge stretches about 30 kilometers along the Chu River, flanked by steep cliffs and rugged mountains. As we drive through, you’ll enjoy impressive views of towering rock formations, lush greenery, and cascading waterfalls. This beautiful route showcases Kyrgyzstan’s dramatic landscape and serves as an important connection between regions. (pass by)

BalykchyOnce we arrive in Balykchy, you’ll have the option to enjoy a light walk along the peaceful lakeside beach, surrounded by stunning views of the Issyk-Kul mountains. The fresh mountain air and gentle breeze create a perfect setting to relax and soak in the natural beauty of the area. If you wish, you can also take a quick, optional swim in the clear waters, though most guests prefer to simply enjoy the calm and scenery along the shore. After some time by the lake, we will continue our journey onward, carrying with us the memories of this beautiful landscape.
- After our time in Balykchy, we will begin the approximately three-hour drive back to Bishkek. During the journey, you’ll have the chance to relax and take in the serene beauty of the countryside. We will pass through rolling foothills dotted with small, charming villages and expansive agricultural fields that stretch toward the horizon. The landscape is framed by distant mountain ranges, providing a stunning backdrop as we travel. This peaceful and scenic route offers an ideal setting to unwind and quietly reflect on the day’s rich experiences, allowing you to fully appreciate the natural charm and tranquility of Kyrgyzstan.
