Go deeper

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Respect Local Customs
Be mindful of local customs and traditions. Ask before photographing people. Learn basic greetings in the local language — even a simple hello earns goodwill.
Leave No Trace
Pack out all rubbish. Stay on marked trails and paths. Do not touch, feed, or disturb wildlife. The natural beauty of Issyk-Kul depends on every visitor treating it with respect. Take only photos, leave only footprints.
