Bishkek

After the city tour, we will proceed to the Burana Tower, which is located about 80 kilometers east of Bishkek. The drive takes around 1.5 hours. Along the way, you’ll enjoy scenic views of the Chuy Valley with its wide-open fields, small Kyrgyz villages, and distant mountain ranges. We’ll be traveling on a well-paved road, passing by local farms, roadside fruit sellers, and occasional flocks of sheep or cattle grazing near the highway. It’s a peaceful and picturesque route that gives you a glimpse of rural life in northern Kyrgyzstan.

    It was a remarkable experience, will never forget it. Thanks to our Guide, Mr. Nur. We learned a lot from him and he was easy to get along with. He went extra mile for us. I would give more stars to him if I can.
