Kegeti Waterfall & Burana Tower — 1 Day
About this tour
The Kegeti gorge lies 85 km south-east of Bishkek. Its waterfall, more than 30 m high, is only 100 m from the road — brave visitors stand under the falling water. The air, full of water ions and the scent of conifers, does everyone good.
Further up the road a beautiful conifer forest makes a perfect picnic spot. On the way back we stop at the Burana site — the remains of Balasagun, capital of the Karakhanid khaganate — with its tower and stone balbals gathered from all over the Chui valley.
Highlights
- 30 m waterfall right by the road
