Skiing

Day 1: Bishkek - Karakol
Your guide will pick you up at Manas International Airport and accompany you to Bishkek City (30 min. drive). Today we will leave the capital and we will drive to Issyk Kul Lake. First of all we will visit Burana Tower (minaret from the 11th century) and an open air museum of Balbans (stone warriors). Burana Tower was used during the Great Silk Road as a sign for travelers that there was a city to have a rest. You can still see the outlines of the old city around the tower. Nearby you will see balbals. These grave stones that look like warriors were made in honor of brave soldiers that died for their Motherland.

Afterwards you will be transferred to the celestial Issyk Kul Lake, the second largest alpine lake in the world (1608m.above sea level). The lake is called "the pearl of Central Asia". Thanks to the salty water, Lake Issyk Kul possesses curative qualities. You can come up to the lake and to see mountains all around it! The water of the lake is very clean. At Soviet time there were built even special houses for the members of parliament - all of them wanted to have a rest near celestial Issyk Kul Lake! The lake is just incredible!!!

In Cholpon Ata town you will have an opportunity to visit ancient stone inscriptions. It is the most ancient place of Kyrgyzstan. The pictures are dating back to 800 B.C. They were depicted on stones by shamans and all these stones are still at the same place where they were 2 000 - 2 500 years ago! It is a great chance to feel the spirits of that time! Also we will visit a local museum that is considered to be the best one in Kyrgyzstan. There are many things connected with nomadic life and it is really worth to see them!!!

After petrogliphs we will start our way to Karakol town along the northern shore of the sparkling pearl of Central Asia. Karakol is an old town that was built by Russians. That is why there are still many old houses with wooden decorated windows and particular style. Today you will visit a Russian Orthodox Church that is more then 100 years old. Also we will visit a Dungan mosque. One of its highlights is the fact that it is built in Chinese style without using a single metal nail. This overnight you will spend in a home stay. Dinner will be at 8 p.m.
