Then we spend the night in the hotel.
Day 3: Issyk Kul lake - Karakol
The group starts to get to know the entire territory of the lake, and visits the Karakol town. It is the place where the ancient inscriptions of 800 BC are shown. The reason is seen in the ancient shamans being at these territories long time ago. Then the route goes to the Dungan mosque and Orthodox Church. The first one is peculiar for the fact that women can't enter it and that it is built in the Chinese Style. And both were built without usage of metal. The boarding house will be reserved for the group to spend the night.

Then the tour continues to one of the most important sites of Kyrgyzstan, Bokonbaevo village. It is known to be the location of the berkutchi, or eagle hunters hunting with berkuts (eagles, falcon).

Then the group goes to the Kochkor village to get acquainted with the local family and spend the night in their house.
