Here comes spring in Kyrgyzstan, the time of rebirthing and the time of new beginnings. Our tour of Spring Tour 1 is the best example of perfect trip in Kyrgyzstan. We meet you at Manas International Airport and organize the way to Bishkek. The 30 minutes way is devoted to the road and talk about our future tour. First we need to identify that the following places of the capital will be visited on obligatory way - Pobeda Square (Victory Square), Duboviy Park (Oak Park), Central Ala-Too Square, Old Square, National Philharmonic. Then we turn our route to travel to the national park Ala Archa. The gorge is an amazing place in spring as colors are just getting green, weather gets warmer and warmer. But still it may be rather cool and guests are required to have warm clothes. For now everyone who wishes can get to the gorge and see its beauties. In past it was difficult to get permissions. The way to the gorge takes 45 km, so you will need to cover the same destination getting back. The night will be in the hotel.

Day 2: Bishkek - Issyk Kul northern shore
Bishkek is also the center of the Asian Bazaar where a lot of various things and clothes can be bought. What is more, you can witness the life of the traditional people, their usual activities. People are very hospitable here and due to it they are always glad to make an introduction and basic outline about Kyrgyzstan. Then you are turning to Issyk Kul Lake, today the destination is the northern shore. The water is clean and transparent and accumulated in the valley from many rivers flowing down the mountains. In spring it can be cold to swim but as the lake never freezes you can enjoy its views. The night is booked in the hotel.

Day 3: Issyk Kul northern shore - Grigorievskoye - Karakol
Being in the Issyk Kul region you can visit and travel to lots of places. But note that it is necessary to take photos not to lose such beauty. As this is the time of rebirthing, nature and animals are awakening from the winter hibernation. Weather can be cold especially in the mountains, where it gets colder with every new elevation. Grigorievskoe gorge is the place which will be visited as the trip is going on. Then we adore natural views and move to Karakol town. In Karakol the main aim of a travel program is Dungan mosque. But according to Muslim laws women can't get inside, they can watch the outside building, it is also very interesting and contains images of the old times. Today one of the families will give you their home to sleep.

Day 4: Karakol - Jeti Oguz - Issyk Kul southern shore - Kochkor
In the same Issyk Kul region we continue our way. Jeti Oguz gorge is a picturesque place where there can be made a great amount of photos of breath-taking red rocks, standing like real bulls in a row. New it there is a Broken Heart. The mountain is of a natural creation of such a form, which gave the beginning to new legends and myths. There is also a famous Spring Tour 1 in this gorge where nomads live with their flocks during the summer time. The next point of the program is the north shore of Issyk Kul Lake, then Bokonbaevo village. It is remarkable for being the home of the eagle show. It is almost the only one as notions of eagle hunting were going from father to son. Then guests are going to visit Kochkor and witness the process of creation of felt carpets. The night will be in the form of a homestay.

Day 5: Kochkor - Burana - Bishkek
This is the last active day of a tour in Kyrgyzstan, you return to Bishkek, located in Chui valley , but on the way we visit the Burana Tower. There are a lot of legends of emergence of this minaret, for sure we know it appeared in the 11^th century. Previously it was 45m high but then with threats of different sides even disappeared.
