Workation in Cholpon-Ata: the essentials
Sanatoria and guesthouses line the north shore of Lake Issyk-Kul at Cholpon-Ata, a resort town of about 14,000 that Soviet holidaymakers once reached on organised tours. Across the water, the peaks of the Tian Shan fill the southern horizon, and on the edge of town an open-air field holds about 2,000 petroglyphs dating from 800 BC to 1200 AD. July and August are busy with visitors from Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Russia, while much of the town closes for the rest of the year. Issyk-Kul International Airport at Tamchy is about 30 km west.
