Itinerary

Day 1.Drive to Kochkor,Burana&Canyons

Leave Bishkek behind and head straight into Kyrgyzstan’s dramatic landscapes. The first stop is Burana Tower, a 11th-century Silk Road minaret standing alone among ancient ruins and stone balbals.

Continue to Kok-Moinok Canyon, a colorful labyrinth of clay formations shaped by wind and time. A short walk allows you to explore the canyon and enjoy panoramic views.

By evening, arrive in Kochkor village, located near the high mountain pastures leading to Song-Kol. Dinner is served at a local guesthouse  or at Restaurant, where you rest before your horse adventure.

Day 2.Horse riding to Song Kol lake

After breakfast,drive to Kyzart village where meet your horses and local guides. The trail leads through the wide Kilemche Valley, one of Kyrgyzstan’s most beautiful summer pastures.

Climb toward Tuz Ashuu Pass (3,400 m), where breathtaking views open over Song-Kol Lake, resting on a vast alpine plateau. After a rest, descend to the lakeshore and arrive at a traditional yurt camp.

In the afternoon, enjoy a relaxed ride along the western shore of the lake and visit a nomadic family to learn about daily life, livestock herding, and dairy production.

Day 3. Road trip to Kok-Kiya Valley and visiting Kel Suu lake

Leave Song-Kol and begin an epic 4×4 road trip through the remote landscapes of southern Kyrgyzstan. Pass through At-Bashy Valley, dotted with small villages and open steppe.

Stop for a picnic near a river in Bosogo Valley, then cross Kyndy Pass (approx. 3,500 m). Travel permits for Kel-Suu Lake may be checked here.

Descend into the wild Ak-Say Valley, home to yaks, horses, and nomadic yurts. Arrive in Kok-Kiya Valley, one of the most remote inhabited regions of the country.

Day 4.Trek to Kel Suu lake

After breakfast, set out on an easy half-day trek following the river toward the hidden Kel-Suu Lake. The trail is gentle and scenic, suitable for most fitness levels.

Suddenly, the turquoise waters of Kel-Suu appear, surrounded by towering cliffs. Take time for photos and quiet reflection in this dramatic natural setting.

Return to the camp by the same route and relax in the peaceful valley.

Day 5.Drive to Bokonbaevo&Issyk Kul Lake
