Description
Get ready for an incredible adventure in the Issyk Kul Lake (1609 m/ 5,279 ft). Located in the Tian Shan mountains in eastern Kyrgyzstan, this place will be the perfect setting for our 9-day guided splitboarding tour!
With 180 kilometers in length and 70 in width, the Issyk Kul Lake is one of the largest alpine lakes in the world. And thanks to its magnificent scenery and location, participants will admire the most beautiful and remote snow-covered mountains.
During this splitboarding tour, skiers and snowboarders will explore the beautiful mountain range of Terskey Ala-Too and discover a wide variety of slope elevation for ascents and descents. And although the levels of difficulty around the lake are different, take into account that the tour is intended for confident riders only.
Our meeting point will be in the capital and most populated city from Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek. Then, we will transfer to Karakol city, which is situated on the eastern border of the lake. We may arrange a day off to enjoy Karakol city or any other activity that you prefer. For a more detailed description of the trip, take a look at the itinerary below!
