The experience

At our lodge we focus on sustainable tourism and fruit processing, using environmentally friendly materials and technologies, and doing community based business.

We harvest process dry and pack fruits from our garden (raspberries, apricots, cherries, prunes, apples, pears) and wild berries (seabuckthorn and berberis) from the lake Issyk-Kul shore! Come help us :)
