Rukh Ordo in Cholpon Ata is an absolute treasure, offering a truly immersive and captivating cultural experience. Our visit to this remarkable open-air museum was nothing short of magical, as we were fortunate enough to stumble upon a special event featuring women from the area singing and performing their traditional festivities.

The museum itself is a fascinating tribute to the diversity and richness of Kyrgyz culture and heritage. The carefully curated exhibits beautifully showcase the country's history, art, and traditions, providing an educational and eye-opening journey for visitors.

What made our visit to Rukh Ordo truly exceptional was the unexpected encounter with the local women's traditional performance. Their captivating songs and vibrant dances filled the air with a sense of joy and celebration, leaving us mesmerized by the sheer beauty of their talent and passion.

The setting of Rukh Ordo, surrounded by the stunning landscapes of Lake Issyk-Kul and the majestic Tien Shan mountains, added an extra layer of charm and enchantment to the experience. It felt like stepping into a living tapestry of Kyrgyz culture, a rare and unforgettable moment.

The warm and welcoming atmosphere at Rukh Ordo, along with the friendly and knowledgeable staff, made our visit all the more enjoyable. The museum's commitment to preserving and promoting the country's diverse cultural heritage is evident in every detail.

In conclusion, Rukh Ordo in Cholpon Ata is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise it receives. The museum's dedication to preserving Kyrgyz traditions, coupled with the serendipitous encounter with the local women's festive performance, made our visit an unforgettable cultural immersion. If you have the chance to experience Rukh Ordo, don't hesitate – it's a journey into the heart and soul of Kyrgyzstan's vibrant heritage. Highly...

This place is unique and perhaps a bit strange IMO. The name means Palace of the Soul in the local language, and I was told it was built by Tashkul Kereksizov, who was a very powerful and influential figure in Kyrgyz politics as well as modern history. Perhaps due to his personal experience as an orphan who came into prominence all on his own (his name which he changed, also reflects this), he was described as someone with a rangy and perhaps eclectic interests, which is evident in the “park”. It had a small building representing just about every major religion in the world, along with statues, paintings, and other artistic presentations of various historical, mythical, and religious lores/legends/doctrines, ranging from Greek mythology to Kyrgyz literature, it’s neatly organized but the “script” can be chaotic at times. It’s difficult to pinpoint what this park is about, but it is certainly unique in the sense that I’ve never seen...

Здесь особая атмосфера умиротворения и надежд на развитие культуры в массах ) Люблю это место. Отдалённо оно похоже на маленький кусочек неспешащей никуда Европы среди суетливой Азии, что само по себе нонсенс )) Здесь всегда чисто, свежо и, как-будто ниоткуда, льётся тихая приятная музыка. После экскурсии можно сколько угодно долго гулять, фотографироваться или сидеть на лавочках. Если повезёт, то с кругового пирса можно полюбоваться теплоходом Москва на причале Резиденции. Всегда очень приветливые и вежливые гиды. На территории нет ресторана, это огорчает. Сразу за воротами есть даже не то чтоб кафе - перекусочная, где вам сделают горячие или холодные напитки и что-то перекусить из "пачки" На территории есть выставочный зал-галерея полудрагоценных камней, где вы можете купить себе украшение. Пять часовен там как-будто останавливают привычное течение времени и ограждают вас от привычной уличной суеты маленького курортного городка. Одной из самых привлекательных "достопримечательностей" является концертный зал с его необыкновенным акустическим звучанием и открывающимся прямо в Иссык-Куль занавесом. Это отдельное удовольствие, если вам посчастливилось во время экскурсии попасть на концерт! Сама экскурсия не обременительна, занимает времени чуть меньше часа, рассказывают гиды все по разному и интересно. Здесь вы можете выбрать огромное количество сувениров. Центр работает до 20:00. И кстати, коллекция экспонатов пополняется. Рекомендую - вы не пожалеете о потраченных деньгах и времени, и увидите каким станет Кыргызстан когда-нибудь, когда будет готов встать на ступеньку выше в своём...

An open-air museum in a category of its own! One of the most unique places I have ever visited. A park that is quite eclectic that has so much to discover. I could have spent a couple days exploring everything, but a couple hours is good to see the range of mythical and religious representations. I love statues and enjoy adding unique ones to my photography collection. The architecture and statues are amazing and there is also an amazing view at the water. Make sure you check it out if you are visiting the country!

If you have the opportunity, go, it is serene, interesting, beautiful and well worth it. Cultural, historical and a combination of religions brought together in harmony. A word of advice, take water with you and there is nothing available once you are inside, which is a good thing as it is not a place for a picnic. But when I went it was extremely hot and water would have been a good idea! Set in the sea with the mountains in the distance, you need a couple of hours to do it justice.
