ISSYK KUL SWIM CHALLENGE 2020

The summer of 2020 will be remembered forever!

You will be able to cross the Pearl of Central Asia - Issyk-Kul Lake.

The village of Toru-Aygyr is located on the northern coast of the lake. Its name is associated with the legend of friendship and devotion. A boy named Bakyt had the ability to train beautiful horses. In exchange for the parental land, he received a foal and made of him a beautiful racehorse, whom he named Toru-Aygyr. The former owner of the animal regretted that he had exchanged the horse for land, and stole it. The horse was hidden on the other side of the lake. But the animal could not stand it and fled to Bakyt. According to legend, Toru-Aygyr from the southern coast of Issyk-Kul swam to his master in the north and gave up his spirit in his arms.

According to legend, the route of the swim runs from the southern to the northern shore of Issyk-Kul.
