The Burana Tower .
The Tower is all that remains of the once great city Balasugin and was originally, probably, a Minaret although there are several legends which offer alternative suggestions. There is a small museum and a collection of Balbars, that were once found scattered throughout this part of Central Asia.
Issyk-Kul Lake
Issyk-Kul is Kyrgyzstan's largest Lake and at about 180km long by 70 km wide and 668 meters deep at deepest point, and the fifth deepest lake in the world.
Karakol
It owes its location to the authorities of the Russian Imperial Army, who decided in 1869 that it was an ideal site to garrison a force in what was to become a far flung corner of the Tsarist Empire. The settlement was originally named Karakol which translated as "black hand", (the early settlers noted that the soil turned their hands black) then in 1886 received the name Prezhevalsk (name of Russian traveler who made several journeys into Central Asia ). Finally in 1991 it was renamed Karakol once more. |
