he Pearls of Kyrgyzstan are hidden high in the Pamir and Tian-Shan Mountains and guarded from curious eyes by powerful snow-covered walls.
We invite you to discover the most beautiful and famous high-altitude lakes in Kyrgyzstan - Issyk-Kul and Son-Kul. The lake Issyk-Kul is situated at an elevation of 1,610 m and boasts brackish crystal clear water that never freezes throughout winter, while the lake area with affordable prices and mild climate similar to that at a seaside has long since won the title of Kyrgyzstan’s best resort. Karakol and Cholpon-Ata, two main resort cities in Issyk-Kul Region, feature a highly developed tourist infrastructure, unique places of interest and hospitable people.
The mountain chains running around the lake conceal a great number of places of inimitable beauty. One of them is Jety-Oguz, a gorge with extraterrestrial red rocks.
Come and enjoy the precious pearl of Kyrgyzstan infringed with snow-clad mountains and natural and man-made monuments!
