Bishkek - Tamga

In the morning, we depart from Bishkek. Along the way, we visit the Burana Museum, a site housing the remains of a medieval city of Balasagun, the capital of the Karakhanid Khanate, a Turkish dynasty from the 11th century. We have lunch in the village of Tuura-Suu at Aibek's house, an experienced hunter of royal eagles. Hunting with these majestic birds is very popular in Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia, and Aibek shares his experiences and training techniques with us. We spend the night in a guesthouse in Tamga.
