    Driving along the famous Lake Issyk-Kul through the town of Karakol

    So, we are in Kyrgyzstan! On this day we will literally drive around the entire Lake Issyk-Kul, stopping along the way at stunning natural sites such as the Red Rocks and Fairy Tale Canyon. The lake itself is unusually majestic from any point, so it will accompany us with its beauty the whole trip. Importantly, the lake does not freeze in the winter!

    Ak-Tilek Market

    To the next two points the road will be quite long, and there may be no cafes and restaurants on the way, so we advise to go to the market in Karakol or any supermarket/trading center to buy food for the trip.

    Another very beautiful place is the Jety-Oguz Gorge. There are red rocks in a row, which are called "seven bulls".
    There is a rock called "broken heart" in the Jety-Oguz Gorge. There is a very romantic legend associated with it.
    There was once a very beautiful girl, and everyone wanted to marry her. Two dzhigits, who were friends, decided to fight for her heart, because the girl could not choose between them - she liked them both very much. Neither of the young men survived the duel, and the girl realized that the blame was left on her, and that she would be alone forever. And then she tore her heart out of her chest, which became this very rock.
    There is a belief that if two lovers stand under this rock, eternal love awaits them.

    Fairytale canyon "Skazka"

    Canyon "Fairy Tale" is a legendary place on the southern shore of Issyk-Kul.
    The history of the canyon is very long - it began to form millions of years ago. Over time, stone sculptures were formed, in which tourists can see the outlines of animals or even fairy tale monsters, and various mazes of wide and narrow paths.
    The best time to explore the canyon is on a bright day, when you can see more than ever. And the red clay shimmers magically in the sunlight.
    In the summer there are often guided tours, but in the winter there is not a soul here. You can safely walk around the territory, take pictures (no one will get in the frame :) ).

    Felt house - Yurt demonstration

    On the way you will meet a yurt, a traditional nomadic dwelling. Yurts are convenient for moving and keep warm well. However, for nomads themselves, yurts mean much more than just a roof over their heads. It is a place of strength, a unification of family, land and universe.
    And if you turn right on the dirt road, you will have a wonderful view of the lake. Stop here to take a little break and admire the surrounding scenery.

    Пляж Пансионата "каприз"

    Towards the end of the evening, take a walk on one of the beaches of Lake Issyk-Kul. It's very quiet and romantic here.
    You can catch the sunset - the landscape becomes even more colorful.
