+A teenage girl of the owner was teaching us how to dance Kyrgyz dances, it was one of the most magical moments of the trip. We also ordered a lunch box, and got so much food, this was one of the best places in Kyrgyzstan with very kind people! The facilities were just great It was very comfortable! there's also direct access to the lake, so we went swimming, and it was fantastic. I highly recommend this place!
−Everything was just right!

“Lovely yurt camp close to the lake with great food and great people!”
+A beautiful yurt camp right with views over the lake. Beautiful surroundings with lovely flowers, comfy beds, clean facilities with hot showers, and great food. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included which was huge and tasty (best I’ve had so far in Kyrgyzstan). I also had dinner here which was tasty and great value. You can walk to a sandy beach if you want to swim and hosts can arrange trips etc.
−You probably need a car or taxi to get here easily! I chose a taxi from Bokonbayevo with my bag. And then hitchhiked on the main road and walked the last 3km after I had been to Skazka canyon.

+If your wish is to spend a couple of nights by the shore of Issyk Kul in a yurt and relax while contemplating mountains, you can book with Chyrak without any hesitation. No need to overthink it. The camp is well-equipped and caters to all possible needs (just voice them). The yurts are wonderfully comfy and have the best heavy blankets in the world. The whole constellation of support staff is amazingly friendly and memorable. They serve dinner for an extra charge and keep some booze in the fridge for those who need it. The owner/manager speaks flying English.

“Good place for relaxation”
+Beautiful yurt camp at the Issyk Kul beach. Very friendly stuff. Restaurant building with chill zone on 2nd floor with lake view. Good dinner and breakfast.

+Easily the best and most laid back yurt camp in the area. Owners stay in contact with you and are very welcoming, yurts are perfect and like in the pictures. They offer a full 3 course dinner for 1200som per person, and a full breakfast is already included in the price. Overall the location is extremely beautiful, right by the lake seashore, peaceful yurts, beautiful sunsets, the area overall is perfect if you're looking for a relaxing traditional Kyrgyz stay by the shore.
−Maybe a bit expensive for kyrgyz standards, but compared to the neighboring yurt camps, this is the cheapest and offers best value for money.

“Volle Empfehlung!”
+Schöne Anlage direkt am See, mit überwiegend steinigem Strand, aber auch einigen Sandflecken zum Hinlegen und Baden. Nagelneues Hauptgebäude mit Aufenthaltsraum mit Panoramaverglasung im Obergeschoss, Speiseraum mit sehr gutem Frühstück und Abendessen im EG. Zusätzlicher Getränkeverkauf. 12 schöne autentische Jurten. WLAN o.k. Toiletten und Duschen sauber, aber etwas knapp. Parkplätze auf dem eingezäunten Gelände. Betrieb durch sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Team, mit Englisch-Kenntnissen. Sehr gutes Krisenmanagement bei Unwetter mit Wolkenbruch. Insgesamt volle Empfehlung.
−Kleiner Kritikpunkt: Keine Hinweisschilder zu erkennen, Camp etwas schwer zu finden mit unterspültem Weg.

+Il luogo è suggestivo. Personale davvero simpatico ed accogliente. Bagni puliti così come la yurta. Lago a 5 minuti a piedi, con acqua pulita. Ottima colazione e cena.
−Forse migliorerei la connessione wifi nella yurta

“Dobre miejsce wypadowe do zwiedzania okolic”
+Jurty były oryginalne bez łazienek. Do łazienki szło się 25 metrów.
−Choć jurty były rzut beretem od brzegu jeziora, brzeg jeziora to kamienie o średnicy od 15 do 50 cm i nie można było po nich bezpiecznie wejść do wody. Do tego ten brzeg to długa płycizna i nie dotarłem nawet do miejsca gdzie mógłbym się zanurzyć.
