Spring Tour 2
Days: 6
Route: Bishkek - Ala Archa - Burana - Kochkor - Karakol - Chon Kemin - Bishkek 

Day 1: Bishkek - Ala Archa - Bishkek
Welcome to Kyrgyzstan, during this extraordinary Spring Tour tour we meet you in Manas International Airport and drive for about 30-40 minutes to the capital Bishkek. As you have decided to travel in the country in spring, we recommend to identify weather circumstance during your particular trip. We make a visit of Ala Archa National Park. This place is strongly controlled and administered as it is a natural resort. Being here in this period of the year prepare for mild weather, but cool winds. Then we return back to Bishkek and make a city tour along Pobeda Square (Victory Square), Duboviy Park (Oak Park), Central Ala-Too Square, Old Square, National Philharmonic. Today you will sleep in the hotel. 

Day 2: Bishkek - Burana - Kochkor
Here goes the second day of overwhelming emotions in your Spring tour, let us visit the Asian Bazaar. Here you can see the Kyrgyz people, their hospitality and of course opportunities to buy various things. Then we make a way passing Burana tower. It is a sort of a mystery place as there are a lot of legends of its emergence. Still you can visit it and witness the walls covered with lines and ornaments, probably ancient ancestors wanted to tell us something with them? Then we are visiting Kochkor. It is the place of an interesting history as here there is a wide production of felt carpets. The carpets are long lasting and you can take an active part in this process. The night will be in the homestay of one of the families.  

Day 3: Kochkor - Issyk Kul southern shore - Karakol
From Kochkor we want the guests who travel in Kyrgyzstan to see the beauty of the south of Issyk Kul Lake. It is right at the altitude of 1600m above sea level and spring is the time when you can witness the beginning of nature rebirthing. The lake never freezes which gives chances to visit it even in cool spring. Then we get to the Bokonbaevo village and witness eagle hunting, the process rather interesting but at the same time a bit scary as we see the hunting instincts of king-like birds. Then we finally arrive at Karakol town and visit Dungan mosque, the Orthodox Church. Just immerse in culture and history. Guests will send the night as guests of the local family. 

Day 4: Karakol - Issyk Kul Lake northern shore - Chon Kemin
We decided to return to the pearl of Kyrgyzstan but in this case the tour is made to the north of the lake. We witness all of the resorts and natural springs. As mountains surround the lake, you can do hiking, guests can visit the local family and the museum of the artifacts found during investigations of the lake, as there was the town long time ago. The next destination for you to travel today is Chon Kemin. This place is not offered in all of the tours, so that is why it is not spoiled by tourists. Here we spend the night in a homestay.

Day 5: Chon Kemin - Bishkek
In Chon Kemin valley guests ride horses. It is especially beautiful in spring. As weather is mild and lovely, you should have warm clothes, as you are in the mountains. You will be going round the picturesque sites of the gorge and in the end of the day you will return to the capital of Kyrgyzstan. The night will be booked in the hotel.
