Balykchy
Kyrgyzstan
This highland town in Kyrgyzstan sits at the western end of Lake Issyk-Kul, one of the world's largest alpine lakes, with the surrounding mountains rising close on all sides. A practical base for exploring the lake's western shore, Balykchy lies a few hours east of the capital Bishkek and draws independent travellers heading deeper into the Issyk-Kul region.
