9 days tour 9

Day 1: Bishkek - Burana - Issyk Kul northern shore
For the foreigners to feel comfortable in Kyrgyzstan we have created the meeting in Manas International Airport. This is the very start of the tour along the city and the country in the whole. Being in Bishkek we can witness Pobeda Square (Victory Square), Duboviy Park (Oak Park), Central Ala-Too Square, Old Square, National Philharmonic as main locations of interest. Then our attention is going to the Issyk Kul lake. This is the lake located in the very heart of the mountains, being literally surrounded by them, just imagine! But the route to it is also taken by Burana Tower. We are going to visit it before the lake. This is the minaret created in the 11th century, being also popular for balbals standing near it. It is the so-called museum of rock warriors. And in the end of the day the night is spent in the hotel.

Day 2: Issyk Kul lake - Bishkek
This is going to be the fantastic start of the day, as we drive to the habitation, where ancient stones are located. And right on these stones petroglyphs are made. These are the depictions of ancient life, created by shamans about 2000 years ago. All these locations are seen in the Issyk Kul region. At the same time we can witness the lake from different sides, so that it literally located in the heart of the Tien Shan Mountains. We would like to note that it is better to rent a car for the tour to be going without any difficulties, as roads here are rather long, mountainous. Then we return to the capital of the country, for visiting of Asian Bazaar. This is the center of bustling life of the people. Right here everyone is able to buy souvenirs as well as various traditional clothes. Night will be organized in the hotel.

Day 3: Bishkek - Toktogul
Today we would like to travel to Toktogul. This tour is made along the south of Kyrgyzstan, along the mountains. Mountains here are fantastic, extremely beautiful and of course remarkable. Having the way along them guests have a break at the Tue Ashuu pass. This place is also chosen for the heights of 3000m, where photos turn out to be imaginary. Night is prepared in the boarding house.

Day 4: Toktogul - Sary Chelek 
As we have already told, Kyrgyzstan is rich with natural locations, and today the group drives to the Sary Chelek lake. This lake can be found along the tour at the Chatkal mountain range. And here, at the altitude of 1873m a crystal lake is found. It turned out to emerge as the effect from an earthquake. At the same time it seems to be rather big, concerning the mountain location, about 234m deep, 2,280m wide and 7,500m long. Literally it is seen as the flooded valley. Sary Chelek is located in the National reserve, so swimming and fishing is not allowed here. But on the other side we can witness rich flora and fauna presented by 300 species of plants, 32 species of trees, 80 types of bushes, 38 species of animals and 157 species of birds. Night will be in the local stay, surrounded by pure nature.

Day 5: Sary Chelek 
Here comes the tour along the whole Sary-Chelek State Reserve. Foreigners are going to travel along the Reserve created in 1959. And it seems to be about 23 868 hectares, rather great territory! Very often tourists coming to Kyrgyzstan have a desire to travel to this island of wildlife. It is remarkable that the name ‘Sary-Chelek' from Kyrgyz means "yellow bowl". We can explain it by the view of the lake in autumn time, when yellow trees, the leaves reflect in the water of the lake. So it seems that forest is in the lake. Be sure for not swimming or fishing here, it is prohibited. With this wild life and natural life were saved.

Day 6: Sary Chelek - Arslanbob
This is going to be a fascinating trip to Arslanbob walnut forest. Tourists drive along impressive mountains, where they can make lots of amazing photos. At the same time such a route can give the opportunity to take photos with the heights being at the background. Along the way guests can try Kumis, sold in the mountains by the local people. Then on coming to the forest it becomes obvious of it to give 1500 tons of walnuts. It is huge, and so magnetic! Today we can walk along it a little and then have night in the stay of the locals.

Day 7: Arslanbob
For the guests we have prepared the whole day in the forest with the territory of 11,000 hectares. Arslanbob is the forest of walnuts, also known as the "Royal Woods of Kyrgyzstan". It stays right at the Great Silk Road when traders were going here in the Middle Ages and exported walnuts to the other countries. The investigation of the forest can relieve us waterfall surrounded by sparkling nature. Having time here, local dwellers will be seen, and guests can come up to them for the communication. Night and dinner is planned in the stay of native dwellers.

Day 8: Arslanbob - Uzgen - Osh
Let us show the southern part of the country. Today we drive to Osh, but before make a stop at Djalal Abad town. This is the city well known for the 11th century Uzgen Tower. It was built by tribes of Karakhanids. They also created special mausoleums for taking leaders to bury. Then in Osh the trip is planned to the center of the city, where the Suleiman Mountain is located. This is the mountain, also known as Suleiman Too, considered to be the place of praying. This is described by many Muslims coming here to pray. It is connected with the legend, of biblical prophet Solomon (Suleiman, in the Koran) being buried here. Night is offered in the hotel.
