[{"title":"Day 1: Join trip in Bishkek, the relaxed Kyrgyz capital","name":"Bishkek","description":"The trip starts today in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. Situated dramatically at the foot of the Tien Shan range at an altitude of around 800 metres/2625 feet, Bishkek is a modern city of wide tree-lined boulevards and open squares. There are no activities planned for today and you are free to arrive at any time although please note that your hotel room may not be available until after 2pm. Airport transfers are available to all customers arriving both today (day 1), and on day 2, into Manas International Airport (FRU), which is around an hour's drive from our guesthouse. As many flights don't arrive into Bishkek until late tonight or the early hours of tomorrow morning, your Leader does not plan to hold the welcome meeting until after breakfast tomorrow (day 2). If you arrive with time to explore you may like to head to Ala-Too Square, a favourite place for locals to gather where there are some great examples of Soviet-influenced Brutalist architecture. For those arriving on time our Tour Leader plans to meet you in the hotel reception at 6pm for the welcome meeting and for those that wish, there is the chance to go out for dinner.","lat":"42.874621","lng":"74.569762"},{"title":"Day 2: Discover the city on foot and by bus; visit to Osh Bazaar","name":"Bishkek","description":"Flights from London usually arrive in the very early hours of this morning. We'll make a leisurely start and your Leader plans to hold a welcome meeting after breakfast (please check the notice board in reception for timings) before heading out on a sightseeing tour of the city by bus and on foot. We learn about the main monuments and buildings of the city, and take a stroll through Oak Park. A former Silk Road settlement, Kyrgyzstan's capital is a young city, starting life as a clay fort built by the Khan of Kokand in 1825 only to be destroyed by the Russians 43 years later. It was rebuilt in 1878 and it is from this time that Bishkek evolved. We'll also pay a visit to the lively Osh Bazaar, a large, crowded and colourful market where you can mingle alongside the locals doing their every-day shopping. The variety of goods on sale is huge - everything from vegetables, grains, baked goods, spices, dried fruits, nuts, clothing, shoes, meat and hats. If you're feeling brave you may wish to try some Kumis (fermented mares milk and the national drink of Kyrgyzstan), a very acquired taste!","lat":"42.874621","lng":"74.569762"},{"title":"Day 3: Trek to a waterfall in the beautiful Ala Archa Gorge","name":"Ala Archa National Park","description":"We head out of the city today to the beautiful Ala Archa Gorge, in the Ala Archa National Park, located around 40 kilometres/24.90 miles to the south of Bishkek in the Tien Shan Mountains. Our hike takes us along the rocky valley, passing through pine forests and alpine meadows, to a scenic spot where the Ak Sai waterfall cascades down the steep sides of the gorge. The valley's wooded slopes, water meadows and craggy cliffs provide habitats for a variety of animals including the shy Marco Polo sheep, bear, lynx, wild boar, wolves and, in its upper reaches, snow leopards. Please note that local authorities may occasionally close Ala Archa Gorge due to bad weather or unsafe terrain and should this be the case, the tour leader will take us on an alternative safer route. Today's 6 kilometre/3.7 mile hike is expected to take around 4 hours and 30 minutes with a total ascent and descent of around 800 metres/2625 feet.","lat":"42.644838","lng":"74.480318"},{"title":"Day 4: Drive to the Chon Kemin Valley via the Burana Tower; walk in the Valley","name":"Chong-Kemin National Park","description":"Departing Bishkek to the east, we stop to visit the 9th century Burana Tower, all that remains of the ancient Soghdian city of Balasagun. The tower is believed to be the oldest minaret in Central Asia with a detailed external pattern of relief work in brick. Nearby are many balbals (memorial stones) dating from the 5th to 7th century AD. Many of the carvings of the deceased hold cups which are believed to represent hospitality, as well as swords representing a willingness to fight. Our destination for tonight is the picturesque Chon Kemin Valley. Around 180 kilometres/111.90 mile east from Bishkek and quite close to the Kazakh border, Chon Kemin is one of Kyrgyzstan's 13 national parks. Our small homestay is located on the valley floor, covered with green meadows that are full of wildflowers in spring and early summer, while forests of fir trees cloak the higher slopes. We plan to set out on an afternoon hike and enjoy the tranquillity of this remote place. Today's 5 kilometre/3.10 mile hike is expected to take around 4 hours and 30 minutes with a total ascent and descent of around 500 metres/1641 feet.","lat":"42.747196","lng":"76.004373"},{"title":"Day 5: Journey around the shores of Issyk Kul to Karakol; walking tour","name":"Issyk Kul","description":"Today we drive south through the Kungey Alatau mountain range to reach Lake Issyk Kul. The second largest alpine lake in the World, it is 182 kilometres/113.10 mile long, up to 60 kilometres/37.30 mile wide and lies at an altitude of just over 1600 metres/5250 feet. Issyk Kul translates as 'warm lake' - the lake's saline waters never freeze over despite the region's sub-zero winters. Heading north-east around the lake, we stop to see some ancient petroglyphs at Cholpon-Ata that date back to between the 7th century BC and 3rd century AD. More than 5000 stones of varying sizes are covered with figures of hunters, ibex, goat and reindeer. It's believed that the site may have once been a gigantic open air temple. Cholpon-Ata itself was a popular resort during the Soviet era and many sanitoria were built here. These fell on hard times after the break-up of the USSR, but today many are being refurbished and the area is undergoing something of a renaissance. We continue on a road following the shore to arrive in the city of Karakol. Strategically located, this was once a Russian military outpost, and the gateway of expeditions into the Tien Shan and beyond. In the late afternoon we plan to explore the city further on a walking tour. We'll see a Chinese influence at the Dungan mosque built in 1910 in the style of a Buddhist pagoda (it is made of wood without any nails) whilst the strong Russian influence is evident at the Orthodox Cathedral. The great Russian explorer Prjevalsky died in Karakol before an expedition to Tibet and the small museum dedicated to him gives a great insight into the 19th century Central Asian explorers This evening we enjoy a meal cooked by a family from an ethnic minority group, either Dungan or Uighur; both groups are Muslim people of Chinese origin. We not only sample their hospitality but also learn about their traditions and lifestyle.","lat":"42.388264","lng":"77.286488"},{"title":"Day 5: Journey around the shores of Issyk Kul to Karakol; walking tour","name":"Karakol","description":"Today we drive south through the Kungey Alatau mountain range to reach Lake Issyk Kul.

It takes the wool from approximately five sheep to make one shirdak rug and the process is slow and labour-intensive. Designed in an inlaid patchwork of highly contrasting colours such as red and green, yellow and black or brown and white, the rugs are usually full of symbolic motif images from everyday life such as goat horns, shepherds and yurts. After lunch in Kochkor we drive back to Bishkek for our final night and the opportunity to celebrate with a final night meal and reflect on our experiences over the past week","lat":"42.213096","lng":"75.757499"},{"title":"Day 9: Trip ends in Bishkek.","name":"Bishkek","description":"The trip ends after breakfast today at our guesthouse in Bishkek. There are no activities planned for today and you are free to depart at any time. If your flight is departing later in the day luggage storage facilities are available at our hotel. If you would like an airport transfer today, you need to depart from Manas International Airport (FRU), which is around an hour's drive away.","lat":"42.874621","lng":"74.569762"}]
