Day 1: Bokonbaevo – Ashuu-Tor Jailoo
Start the tour from Bokonbaevo Village — meet the guide and, for horseback riders, the horses. Head up towards the first jailoo, climbing steadily through foothill pastures. Stop for a picnic lunch on the way. In the afternoon, reach the Ashuu-Tor jailoo, a high meadow with a wide panoramic view of Issyk-Kul Lake — a fine sunset spot. Overnight in a mountain hut or yurt at the jailoo, dinner served by the host family.
