Issyk Lake & Bear Waterfall

A well-planned program, a comfortable vehicle and an experienced guide — everything for a fulfilling trip with great memories.

Licensed tour operator

Just 2 hours from the city lies the beautiful mountain Lake Issyk, and nearby — the Bear Waterfall.

A simple 30-minute walking trail leads to the waterfall. We arrive at a convenient time to walk along the lake without rush.
