Journey notes
About this Journey
After breakfast at the camp, we saddle our horses and begin the descent toward Issyk-Kul Lake, following a steep mountain track. Along the way, we pause for a picnic, taking one last moment to admire the stunning alpine scenery that has accompanied us throughout the trek.
By mid-afternoon, we reach the endpoint of our journey in the Balykchy region. Here, your driver will be waiting to transfer you to a comfortable guesthouse, where you can refresh with a hot shower, unwind, and enjoy a relaxing dinner by the lakeshore.
