How the tour goes

Gathering of the group in the city of Cholpon-Ata at 8:30 AM.

At 9 AM, we board our large all-terrain vehicle and set off for adventures.

We will ascend a long winding road, stop at a viewpoint with a stunning view of Lake Issyk-Kul, take a short walk, capture beautiful photos, and continue on our way.

After a few kilometers, the good road will end, and then our vehicle will show what it is truly capable of. We will cross several fords through a raging river, tackle a steep ascent, and eventually reach the final point where the vehicle can go.

From there, we need to walk. We have to cover 5 km to the glacier one way. The hiking route is very interesting, surrounded by majestic cliffs and high mountain expanses. While we walk to the glacier, we will observe wild marmots, see a small waterfall, and cross a mountain stream.

The entire walk will take no more than 3-4 hours. Our guide will show you the most interesting and beautiful places where you can take stunning photographs.

After the walk, we return to the vehicle and head back. We will arrive in Cholpon-Ata around 5-6 PM, and you will still have time to go to the beach and swim in the lake.

Important information: The locations we will visit are at an altitude of 3100-3300 m above sea level. At this altitude, the weather is unstable, it often rains, and the wind blows.
Don't forget to bring clothes that will protect you from rain and cold. I also want to note that at this altitude, walking requires certain physical efforts. So, assess your strength, and if you doubt your capabilities, it’s better to postpone the trip.
