Sacred Manjyly-Ata springs
(Healing springs)

On this tour, you will embark on a pilgrimage to the sacred springs of Manzhyly-Ata, renowned for their healing properties. People come here to restore their health, strengthen their spirit, and find harmony. According to locals, the water from these springs helps with liver and vision problems, cardiovascular diseases, nervous disorders, and even infertility.

On the southern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul, in the picturesque Ton Bay, lies the valley of Manzhyly-Ata. This place holds a rich history: the mausoleum of a great seer, ancient rock carvings, ruins of medieval structures, and Buddhist inscriptions. The atmosphere here is truly unique — silence filled with the energy of centuries brings peace to the soul.

The valley is a labyrinth of shallow gorges and clay hills where dozens of springs flow. Each of them has its own name, distinctive taste, and unique healing qualities. Eight sacred willows grow here, and at their roots are the main springs. People believe that the water not only heals but also gives strength, inspiration, and hope.

We will spend most of the day here, enjoying the tranquility, beauty, and powerful energy of this place. Locals say: Manzhyly-Ata is where dreams come true.
