Dordoi Bazaar and Kegety gorge
Early in the morning we will leave the city of Bishkek, and visit the Dordoy Bazaar, the greatest market in Central Asia. Then, continue drive to Kegety gorge, and proceed to a hike of six kilometers along the Kegety Gorge, which is home to a diverse range of natural vegetation, including cedar trees, medicinal herbs, strawberries, and various wild berries. We will proceed along the river bed until we reach the great 20-meter tall waterfall. So, close to sunset time return back to our starting point and make our way to a guest house for dinner and lodgings.

Trekking to Kol-Tor Lake
Today we will have a trek to Kol Tor Lake. Slowly, we will climb up to the lake on a glorious route. Gradually, the surrounding view will begin to change into fir forests and alpine landscapes.
The waters of this “imprisoned” lake, 2700 meters above sea level, have a deep turquoise hue. The lake water trickles into the ground and breaks out several kilometers below the level of the lake. Walk down a trail of approximately 8 kilometers which begins in a level plain.
After some rest and observation by the lakeshore, we will have lunch. We will then return back to our starting position and drive to the City of Bishkek to the hotel.
