Issyk-Kul — the “warm lake” — is one of the largest alpine lakes on earth, 180 km long and lying at 1,607 m between two ranges of the Tian Shan. Thanks to its depth and slight salinity it never freezes, and its clear water reflects snowy peaks on every side.
The quieter southern shore is the most scenic: the red and orange clay formations of Skazka Canyon, the sandstone “Seven Bulls” of Jety-Oguz, and yurt camps near Bokonbaevo where you can spend a night the nomad way and watch a demonstration of eagle hunting.
