Issyk-Kul
FlyArystan is expanding its international routes and introduces a new direct flight from Almaty to Issyk-Kul. This is a quick and comfortable flight to the tourist gem of Kyrgyzstan – one of the favorite vacation spots for the people of Almaty. The convenient flight schedule allows for perfect planning of your vacation or weekend getaway on the shores of the high-altitude lake, surrounded by the majestic Tien Shan mountains.
The area boasts unique nature and landscapes, with crystal-clear waters of a blue hue, coniferous forests, and picturesque meadows, providing ideal conditions to escape the city life. The resort infrastructure has everything you need: from affordable guesthouses to modern complexes with pools and spa services. There is also opportunity for water sports, horseback riding, and excursions.
The most favorable time to visit the "hot lake" is from mid-June to the end of August. During this period, the air temperature reaches a comfortable 25–30°C, and the water in the lake warms up to 22–24°C. It is during the peak season that the resort area comes alive, with beaches, cafes, excursion bureaus, and recreational centers in full swing. Spring and autumn are also beautiful and calm here, but for those planning to swim and enjoy an active beach holiday, it's better to book tickets from Almaty to Issyk-Kul in the summer months.
FlyArystan operates flights to one of the deepest lakes in the world from July 3rd until the end of August. The flights are scheduled twice a week, on Thursdays at 15:05 and Sundays at 13:15.
