What To Expect
Lake Issyk
Your day starts early — 6:00 AM pickup right from your hotel in a comfortable jeep or SUV. Then we hit the road for a scenic 80 km drive (about 2 h) through rolling foothills and mountain views. Our first stop is Lake Issyk, alpine lake at 1,760 meters above sea level. It’s the perfect spot to feel the spirit of the Tian Shan and capture some amazing photos.

Next, we head out on an easy 1-hour hike up to Bear Waterfall. The trail is scenic and suitable for both kids and seniors. At the waterfall, you’ll have time to relax, enjoy the refreshing mist (swimming is welcome!). Of course, there’ll be plenty of time for photos. Then we hike back down to the car (about 1 h).
