- Burana Tower - It will take 1 hour and 35 minutes to reach our first destination, the “Burana Tower.” This beautiful structure, a historical relic from the 11th century, stands tall and impressive, surviving as one of Kyrgyzstan’s most remarkable historical sites. Located 70km from Bishkek and 12km from the town of Tokmok, the Burana Tower is the last remnant of the ancient city of Balasagun.
Once part of the Kalahandi khaganate, which existed between the 9th and 11th centuries, Balasagun was ransacked by the Mongols in 1218. By the 14th century, the city was destroyed and left in ruins.

This perfect stop between Bishkek and Issyk-Kul features unique rock formations in the mountains, with amazing stone designs. These formations were created after an ancient ocean, which existed thousands of years ago, receded. The area was once submerged under the waters of the giant Issyk Kul lake, and now the unique rock waves reflect its past beauty.
