Issyk-Kul - the most beautiful lake in Central Asia
The most beautiful and largest lake in Central Asia is Lake Issyk-Kul.
For this reason, it is called the "Pearl of Kyrgyzstan."
The basin of the lake, surrounded on all sides by powerful mountain ranges, remained a hard-to-reach area of Kyrgyzstan for a long time. Now it can be accessed via a road that goes through the famous Boom Gorge, and there are also 2 airports in the basin: Cholpon-Ata, located near the resort town, and the international airport Tamchy.
