Description
Kyrgyzstan is a magnet for travelers thirsty for excitement and eager to venture off the beaten path. One of the greatest adventures undertaken in-country is a horseback riding journey through Chon-Kemin Valley, where visitors can experience pristine nature, mountain lakes and remote villages from the vantage point of sturdy Kyrgyz steeds, whose ancestors once carried the original Turkic tribes into these very lands.
The Burana Tower is an adventure all its own. A UNESCO world heritage site and former capital of the powerful Karakhanid Dynasty in the Middle Ages, this forlorn structure stands as the lone, proud remnant of the former town of Balasagun, beckoning visitors to admire its enduring presence on the changing Kyrgyz landscape.
Program
- Burana Tower, a 25-meter-high minaret that impresses with its intricately chiseled exterior. It affords a memorable climb up its dark and winding stairwell, with a spectacular view at the top to reward you for your efforts.
- Balbals (6th century), round stone figures used as grave markers and memorial stones of the deceased. Their roughly carved features remain visible even today and give us hints into the lives of ancient local tribes.
- Small museum containing various artefacts from Balasagun including jewelry, pottery and objects from the Zoroastrian, Christian, Buddhist and Islamic faiths.
- Petroglyphs (2nd century), not original to the site but discovered in the greater Chuy region.
In the evening, get in touch with Kyrgyz village life and culture as you stay in a local guesthouse, enjoying a traditional dinner and kumus (horse milk).
Overnight in the Chon-Kemin guesthouse.
Meals provided: lunch, dinner
Upon arrival, you’ll have time to enjoy the picturesque lake and surrounding valley, eat a picnic lunch and relax on Kol-Tor’s calming shores.

It was a very nice day, and our guide was great! Thank you very much.
Tour: Chimgan and Charvak Day Tour →We did indeed arrive home safely from this wonderful adventure. It was a truly beautiful trip! Everything was so special: the culture and nature. You realize how little you know about that rich history. The trip went smoothly. The arrangements were kept. In Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, the tour operator (the day before) promptly sent me an app telling me what time we would be picked up or dropped off. Everything was accurate. Credit card payments aren't accepted on the train ride through Kazakhstan.
