What To Expect
Meet your English-speaking guide at the train station in Bishkek. From here, the group sets off together toward the Chuy Valley for a day packed with history, nature, and lake views.
Burana Tower
Your first stop is the historic Burana Tower — a 9th-century minaret that once guided Silk Road travelers across the steppe. Climb to the top for panoramic views over the Chuy Valley, explore the ancient petroglyphs and stone warrior statues at the base, and learn the fascinating story of the lost city of Balasagun from your guide.
