6-Hour Private Sightseeing Tour of Issyk Lake with Transport
Overview
Locals called Lake "Dzhasyl-Kul", which translates as "Green lake." The name “Issyk” is a distorted Kazakh word Esik, which means “door”. By the way, the town, which is located below the lake, has a name just Esik.
According to geologists, the Lake was formed 8 thousand years ago as a result of a powerful collapse of the mountain avalanche, which subsequently created a natural dam with a h of 300 meters.
Lake Issyk is located at an altitude of 1750 m, in the gorge of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains
Nature here is beautiful, breathtaking.

I booked this tour in advance and on the day they didn't show up. I was waiting for 2 hours and I tried to ring the company, Viator tried to ring the company but there was no answer. Very disappointing to have to miss the experience and waste my limited time.
