This 2-day tour from Bishkek crosses three mountain passes (Boom, Kubaky and Kalmak-Ashuu) to reach Song-Kul Lake on a high plateau at about 3,000 m. You spend a night in a yurt camp on the lakeshore and experience nomadic life up close, and on clear days you can watch the sunset over the water and a sky full of stars. On the way, you stop for photos at the Orto-Tokoy Reservoir, surrounded by red mountains. A guide accompanies you, and the yurt stay and meals (lunch, dinner, breakfast, lunch) are included.
