Day Trips from Bishkek to Boom Gorge

Bishkek is surrounded by stunning natural and cultural attractions, but travelers without their own transportation often find themselves restricted to the capital. Enjoy visits to three unique destinations—11th-century Burana Tower, Boom Gorge, and the red canyons of Konorchek—during this full-day private tour. Lunch and hotel pickup are included, leaving you free to focus on the sights.

With its crystal-clear lake and ancient petroglyphs, Kyrgyzstan’s picturesque Issyk-Kul region shouldn’t be missed—but getting around is tricky without your own transportation. Avoid a cramped “marshrutka” (shared minibus) ride and cover more sights than you could possibly see on your own during this full-day tower. A traditional Kyrgyz lunch is included, plus visits to UNESCO-listed Burana Tower and a hot spring.
