Today I want to share with you a few photos of the coast of Lake Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan. That time the sunrise was not bright, but very beautiful — calm, in gentle lilac tones, which painted everything around: the sky, the water and the shore.
Although I really didn't want to get out of bed so early in the morning, my photographic instinct told me that I should sleep later, and I needed to photograph that beautiful sunrise right at that moment. So I got ready and launched the drone, and it seems to me, it was worth it.
And this interesting complex of buildings on the shore is the glamping Remote, which opened about a year ago. It is located on the shore of the Lake Issyk-Kul, right behind the Canyons of Forgotten Rivers, as the Ak-Sai Canyons are sometimes called. I recently showed you some photos from there (and I will probably show you many more shots — the place is magical and very photogenic).
These houses and the large restaurant building look like spaceships that have landed in a beautiful deserted place and stayed there, seemingly far from civilization. They fit perfectly into the surrounding landscape. Well, okay, the utility building behind the restaurant fit a little worse, but they are usually not often visible from the ground :)
Glamping is run by my friends, with whom I have traveled several times around the world. I will not advertise it here too much, since I am obviously not completely unprejudiced and neutral, but if you happen to be in Kyrgyzstan — I would advise you to visit there :) Not only and not so much for the sake of glamping itself, but for the sake of the place as a whole: the Ak-Sai Canyons, and, of course, Lake Issyk-Kul, which is easier to enjoy in solitude there on the southern shore than on the more populated and popular northern one.
There is also a yurt camp nearby, if someone prefers more authentic Kyrgyz accommodation, and it is also very good. But the main thing, of course, is not the accommodation, but the local nature. The canyons stretch along the shore for about 15 kilometers, so there is a place to walk and swim in the lake :)
It's better to watch the photos in high resolution.
