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.

5.00Great overall tour! Manas did a wonderful job taking our group around. We had a small group of 7 people of different nationalities and spoke different languages. He tried his best to ensure everyone was comfortable and safe. We loved every part of the tour from the beautiful hikes to Konorchek Canyon and Skazska. The views were amazing at all places. Beltam Yurt Camp was wonderful. It was a beautiful yurt which was heated and had hot showers! The dinner and breakfast available was also very good. No complaints!

5.00I had an incredible experience on this 2-day tour! The sites we went to were beautiful, the hikes were all reasonable, and the group had great dynamics. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and greatly enhanced the experience (I feel terrible for forgetting how to pronounce/spell his name, but this was the tour may 23-24th — give him his flowers!!!). The horseriding and eagle hunting demonstrations were highlights for sure. The van was comfortable and not at all overcrowded, and our driver was great. The yurt site had a lot more around than I expected (other yurt camps and some other small buildings/people), but being on the shores of the lake was great —and there was WiFi, which was nice! Beautiful stars at night too. Note - while we expected we’d be back in bishkek around 8pm on day 2, we ended up making it there at 10pm. But this was likely to us taking our time and not rushing at our stops on day 2! I definitely recommend this to all travelers!

5.00This was a great and well organized tour to a variety of different places - Burana tower, hiking in a gorge to a canyon, seeing an eagle demonstration (up close!), sleeping in a yurt next to the lake, then the next day visiting fairy tale canyon and a waterfall. I ended up with a private tour because of the minimum number requirement, but it was also nice to be able go at my own pace, and Azamat was helpful, especially when I needed help not to fall.
Amazing Issyk Kul Adventure with Horses, Eagles, and Yurt Stay

5.00I joined the 2-Day Issyk Kul Small Group Tour with Yurt Stay and Eagle Show, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Our guide was great — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip feel easy and enjoyable. One of the highlights was riding horses along the beautiful lakeside of Issyk Kul. The views were amazing, and it felt like such a special way to experience the nature and peaceful atmosphere of the region. The eagle show was another incredible part of the tour. Watching the training up close was fascinating, and it gave us a real insight into this unique local tradition. It was both impressive and fun to see. Staying in a yurt also made the trip feel very authentic and memorable. Overall, this tour was a perfect mix of nature, culture, and adventure. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Kyrgyzstan!

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.
