Oi-Tal Village

Oy-Tal is a splendid green village, located in the Issyk-Kul Region. Houses have their own yards, usually with some apple trees and blackcurrant. It’s a very pleasant stop for your trip in the summer, to enjoy fresh fruits and the shade of trees.

Discovering the Oi-Tal village

Nestled in a valley at the foot of high mountains, Oi-Tal is an ideal place to relax, all the while discovering Kyrgyz landscape and traditions. You can go horseback-riding from the village to explore the surrounding areas. It’s definitely worth it, to get a breath-taking panoramic view on the Issyk Kul Lake .

The gorges bordering the villages are also surprising and worth the visit. Take your time to go fishing in the rivers for fresh trout.

If you’re on a horse, you can go all the way to the Kazakh border , only a few miles away from Oi-Tal.

The traditional village, which is not yet overcrowded by tourism, has a heartwarming and very welcoming atmosphere that will charm you. Enjoy a home-made meal in the evening prepared with natural, local products, and emerge yourself in the heart of a Kygyz family .

You can even participate in their daily chores and help milk the cows or make berry jam.

Although little known, Oi-Tal is one of those places we recommend to enjoy the calm and purity of nature, the traditional hospitality of the Kyrgyz and leave with great memories.
