Two-day tour to Lake Sonkol. Silence and beauty among the mountain peaks.
Joined 2024
Son-Kul is one of the most famous high-mountain lakes in Kyrgyzstan. It is located at an altitude of 3016 m. above sea level.
Lake Son-Kul can only be reached only in the summer (3 mounth) the rest of the time the road is blocked by snow and ice.
In summer, Son-Kul is still cool. The average temperature is 15°C and at night it drops below zero. The yurts are equipped with small stoves that warm travelers at night. This makes Son-Kul a great place for those who want to try the life of a nomad.

“Perfect 3 Days in Kyrgyzstan”
We booked three tours with Guliza in Kyrgyzstan and could not have asked for a better three days. Guliza is very friendly, punctual and professional. She was waiting for us in the hotel lobby at 9AM on all days and took us the agreed locations while explaining about them in detail. She was very caring towards our daughter and they ended up became very good friends while they were feeding the squirrels in Ala Archa park and playing in the snow in Chunkurchak. We would definitely recommend Guliza to anyone planning to visit Kyrgyzstan.

Hello Vinod Thank you very much for your feedback. Come to Kyrgyzstan again.

“Winter Hiking in the Snow”
We had a wonderful trip with Guliza, hiking in the national park. Guliza met us at our accommodation and drove us up into the mountains, only an hour or so away from Bishkek. She planned for us a beautiful walk through the frozen beauty of the area. Guliza was friendly and provided us with lots of interesting information about the area. It was good that she spoke English since our Russian was non-existent! Guliza also recommended other places for us to visit such as a ski resort in another location. We highly recommended Guliza as a guide to others looking for similar experiences.
