Karakol Historical Museum
Gagarin/Jamansariev, Karakol, Kyrgyzstan, 722360Let's start the tour at the Historical Museum, where we'll delve into the antique treasures of the Kyrgyz people. We'll explore the Kyrgyz people's involvement in events that left an impact on world history, such as the fall of Constantinople. We'll closely examine the distinctive ways of life reflected in the material culture objects.45 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location2
Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Cathederal
Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Cathederal, Karakol, Kyrgyzstan, 722360The locals refer to these structures as "Russian houses," which in Russia itself would be called "Ukrainian mazankas (houses)." However, a wooden church, built from massive trunks of highland spruce trees, adorned with geometric decorations, closely resembles traditional Russian log houses. This spiritual center has been a focal point of attraction for the Russian-speaking population of the region. Surrounding the church, there's a flower garden where they still love to spend their time to this day.20 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location3
Dungan Mosque
Karakol, KyrgyzstanNear the historical district of Karakol, we'll hop on a municipal bus to reach the historical suburb. On the way, we'll be greeted by the sight of the Dungan Mosque, one of only four buildings of its kind in the world. This religious structure was built by Chinese Muslims who fled from China due to the pressures of the central government. The Tsarist government agreed to resettle them on the eastern shores of Lake Issyk-Kul. The Dungan Mosque is a fascinating blend of Chinese architecture and Muslim sanctity, constructed entirely without the use of any metallic parts.
If the group desires, we can arrange for a taxi instead of using the municipal transport, with prices varying depending on the season and time of day.45 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location4
Nikolai Przhevalsky Museum
Ak-Su, Karakol, Kyrgyzstan, 722360At the Przhevalsky Traveler's Museum, we will explore artifacts related to the wave of Great Geographical Discoveries that reached the most remote corners of the planet, including the Tian Shan, Tibet, and the Gobi Desert.
Przhevalsky, in many ways, embodied the behavioral prototype of modern "digital nomads." How did this manifest?
However, the Russian imperial government did not fully utilize his discoveries for various reasons. It's interesting to note that Central Asia was the only region in Tsarist Russia where cities were named after explorers, a tribute to the significance and impact of their expeditions in the region.20 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location5
