Day 6: From Alpine Majesty to Kyrgyz Craftsmanship
Descend from the serene heights of Son Kul, but don't leave the magic behind. Today, we'll traverse the breathtaking Moldo Ashu Pass, a dramatic gateway to a new adventure. In the charming village of Kochkor, we'll step into the heart of Kyrgyz craftsmanship. Join a local family as they unveil the secrets of felt carpet making—a tradition passed down through generations. Explore their workshop and witness the artistry firsthand. Then, immerse yourself in the history and artistry of the Kochkor Handicraft Museum, where ancient silverwork, striking wolf-fur coats, ornate horse saddles, and intricately woven carpets reveal the rich cultural heritage of Kyrgyzstan. Finally, we’ll transfer to Bishkek for a well-deserved rest at your hotel.
