Begin your journey at the K. Kolbaev Tunnel, the first high-altitude tunnel in Central Asia, cut through rock at an altitude of over 3,000 meters. Travel along the famous zigzags of the Kara-Balta Gorge, with views from the car window changing from deep rocky canyons to icy peaks.
From the Too-Ashuu Pass, take in a breathtaking view of the Chuya Valley. Continue to the Sulutor Lakes, completely hidden from view by passing cars. These are places rarely visited by mass tourists-here you'll hear only the sound of the wind and the whistling of marmots.
Enjoy a rest stop by two mirror-like lakes. This is the perfect moment to take CGI-looking shots and simply enjoy the here and now. Take a walk along the Kozhomkul trail. According to legend, it was here that the great Kyrgyz hero, demonstrating incredible strength, carried his horse on his shoulders to save it from a difficult pass.
The most observant participants will be able to discover authentic petroglyphs on the rocks. These rock carvings hold the centuries-old secrets of the ancestors who chose these harsh places for their rituals.
Admire the lakes' water, which has a characteristic steel-blue hue. This “living” glacial water never warms above 5°C to 7°C even in summer, maintaining its pristine purity.
We will pick you up in the morning from any of your hotels in Bishkek and deliver you back to the same place in the evening.
