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.

“A lovely tour with Guliza! ”
Thank you Guliza for such a great tour of Bishkek! I really enjoyed the way you explained the history, especially about the Soviet period and earlier times, and also gave me a feel for everyday life in the city. Tasting local delicacies, riding the bus, and visiting the museum together made the day really special!
