Journey notes

About this Journey

This morning, we set sail for the west of Lake Issyk Kul, discovering its north shore, the most developed. We stop in front of imposing tumulus, left by the Scythians. Then we arrive at Cholpon Ata, the capital of this seaside coast. In the afternoon, we visit the petroglyphs at the exit of Cholpon Ata. Then we arrive in Tamchy, a small town by the lake where the local ecotourism association welcomes us for the night. We have time to enjoy a swim and then participate in the preparation of a traditional dinner. Overnight in a guest house.
