Resuming our way to Issyk Kul.
Upon arrival in Cholpon Ata (central town of the lakeu2019s northern coast) we're having lunch at a restaurant. Now itu2019s time for the cherry on a cake - a stunning ship ride out on the lake. After roaming 4km away the ship will stop at the depth of 120 meters. In the hot season (May-September) you can dive into the water and enjoy a surreal swim (life jackets provided). In the other seasons you will have no less beautiful time on the ship.
