Day 1

Welcome to the capital of Kyrgyzstan – Bishkek. Founded by the Russians in the 19th century and situated at the foot of the Tien Shan mountains with views of the surrounding glaciers, Bishkek’s famous sights include the enormous Alatau Square and the dramatic statue of Manas, the Kyrgyz epic hero.

Upon arrival comfortable VIP transfer will bring all guests to the Novotel 5*, which is located in the city center. During the first day, we will explore the city with an English-speaking guide and visit some of the hidden gems in the central neighborhoods.

Day 2

Meet the real nomads that still reside in the hidden parts of Kyrgyzstan. We invite you to spend 2 night in a yurt camp located near Song Kul lake. It is an incredible and unique experience that allows you to immerse yourself in the rich culture and breathtaking landscape of the region. After our arrival, you will be free to explore and enjoy the virgin nature and admire the stunning views of the snow-capped peaks and the valleys dotted with yurts and flocks of grazing livestock.

The day will wrap up with traditional pre-set dinner by the brand chef of the best restaurant chain in Kyrgyzstan. We invite you to try unique dishes and wine pairings developed especially for this occasion. As the sun sets, accompanied by the crackling of the campfire we will enjoy live traditional music performances.

Day 3

Join us to see cultural performances next to the scenic beauty of Song Kul lake. Horse games have been an integral part of nomadic culture for centuries.

You will have a chance to become a nomad yourself by going for an exciting horse riding tour. On the way we will meet the real nomads, which will always invite you inside their yurts to drink tea with them. Followed by the games we will see the eagle-hunting show, which is a thrilling display of the traditional nomadic skill of hunting with trained golden eagles. Finalize your day with a traditional dinner in the yurt.

Day 4

Our next destination is a luxurious wooden villa complex located on the Issyk Kul lake. The lake is called "the pearl of Central Asia". For our guests, we will conduct closed-door felt workshop – one of the most ancient nomadic crafts. Throughout the workshop you will see the various stages of the felting process.

Later on we will join the cooking class of dungan cuisine, which is a unique culinary style that originated from the Dungan people. We will spend the evening enjoying banya in “maldivian style” located right on the water, from where you can directly dive into the lake. The experience will be enriched by tasting of fresh local fruits. Stay a night at the best hotel near lake Issyk Kul.
