At 4:00 AM, a comfortable SUV (Nissan or Land Cruiser Prado) will pick you up directly from your hotel in Almaty. We'll head to the Kyrgyzstan border, where after completing formalities, we'll have breakfast at a local café.
Next, we continue toward the shore of Issyk-Kul Lake and turn off the main road to Son-Kul Lake. The route takes us through mountain passes with breathtaking views. We'll arrive at the lake around lunchtime and check into a yurt camp—authentic accommodations right by the lake (2 people per yurt).
In the afternoon, enjoy free time by the lake for walks, photography, and lunch. A boat ride on the lake is available upon request (additional cost).
