Bishkek
Meet your guide and fellow travelers at 8:00 AM at the designated meeting point in Bishkek. After a short introduction, board a comfortable minibus and begin your journey toward the south shore of Issyk Kul, passing through scenic landscapes.
Burana Tower
The first stop is Burana Tower, a historic Silk Road minaret dating back to the 11th century. Climb to the top for panoramic views of the valley, explore the open-air museum of ancient stone balbals (carvings), and learn about the tower’s history from your guide. This stop offers a fascinating glimpse into Kyrgyzstan’s rich cultural past.
Konorchek Canyons
Continue to Konorchek Canyons, famous for their towering red rock formations. Enjoy a guided hike through the winding trails, with stops for breathtaking views and photo opportunities. The moderate hike takes about 2.5–3 hours round trip, with some slightly challenging sections where the guide and group members will assist as needed.
Arriving in Bokonbaevo, meet a local eagle hunter who will introduce you to the ancient Kyrgyz tradition of eagle show(training eagles on how they hunt). Watch as the trained golden eagle demonstrates its skills and learn about the deep cultural significance of this practice.
In the evening, arrive in Tong village, where you’ll check into a traditional yurt camp by Issyk Kul Lake. Relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings before sitting down to a delicious home-cooked Kyrgyz dinner. Spend the night in your cozy yurt, immersing yourself in nomadic traditions and the beauty of the region.

The guide ruined the trip
Adam F,8 thg 5, 2026

3.00The tour was good, but the guide ruined it. The driver was professional, drove safely, and in some cases provided more useful information than the guide. The main issue was the tour guide, David. He was young, inexperienced, and his English was not strong enough for guiding international tourists, which often made explanations unclear or confusing. His behaviour created a consistently uncomfortable atmosphere. He made sarcastic and mocking comments throughout the tour. When I was filming the scenery, he would comment in a mocking tone about filming everything. When I was taking photos, he repeated my poses in a way that felt disrespectful and inappropriate. He also rushed the group constantly, especially during walking and climbing, even when some people were struggling physically. This made the experience stressful rather than enjoyable. There were repeated uncomfortable moments with girls who practiced their Russian as well. When they said they did not understand something, he often did not properly explain. When they mispronounced words, he would laugh loudly and make jokes, which felt humiliating rather than supportive. The pace of the tour also did not match the description. A stop listed as three hours was done in about one and a half hours, with the guide appearing proud of rushing through it. Overall, most participants stayed quiet, likely due to his tone and comments, which affected the group atmosphere. The nature itself is beautiful and worth seeing, but the guide significantly reduced the overall experience. The campsite was decent with good food and friendly staff, but felt quite touristy and surrounded by construction, so it was not very peaceful or natural. The horse riding activity was safe and professionally organized, but helmets were not provided, and the route mostly went through roads and construction areas rather than untouched nature.
The Best Trip in Kyrgyzstan! You can’t talk about Kyrgyzstan without mentioning this!

5.00My 2-day trip to Issyk-Kul Lake was amazing. I went with my friends, and this is one of the most memorable adventures. We visited Konorchek Canyon; there were some obstacles, and I felt like I was a climber. The eagle experience shocked me—it was so cool and difficult to describe. There were eagles, Taigan dogs, and archery; everything was incredible. The food was good. Next, we tried horse riding, and I loved it. Datka Travel did their job at a high level, and our guide was also very supportive and interesting.
