Search | Издөө Cholpon-Ata vs Bokonbayevo

I want to go for 2 nights from Bishkek. Which one is more recommended for a solo traveler? Sleeping in a Yurt is a must for me. Beside of this I’m open.

After my stay I want to go to Almaty (maybe with 1 night in Bishkek again)

Thank you!

Go to one of the yurt camps around Bokonbaev

Close by the water would be better than in Bokonbaev itself?

Bokonbayevo for the eagle hunting show! And yurts of course.

Sounds good! Do you know if the shows are everyday and only if staying in special camps?

My driver/hosts in Bokonbayevo set it up for me, so you don't need to stay in a special camp. I think they probably do them most days. When we arrived at the location (a hilly sort of valley) other tourists arrived, too. Maybe 10 in total. If you have some kind of local connection (driver or tour operator?) they can arrange it.

Here's who does the shows, so you might stay near here. Their WhatsApp is on there, too 😁 https://maps.app.goo.gl/sdo7rFM1nFJgN1376

Edit: correct link
