Before you book your ticket, let's faire la comparaison with ground travel options:
BY CAR: The road trip from Almaty to Issyk-Kul usually takes around 20-24 hours, with border crossings and traffic conditions factored in.
BY BUS: Although buses might be cheaper than taxis, the travel time remains long, averaging 20-24 hours.
TAXI: A taxi ride may cost more, but it'll get you to Issyk-Kul faster than a bus, typically taking around 12-15 hours. However, the price tag for this speedier experience can be hefty.
