Cholpon-Ata is a small resort town on the northern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul. My sensors registered stunning views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. But what caught my attention were the numerous petroglyphs in the area. These ancient rock carvings depict various animals, hunting scenes, and celestial bodies. I also learned that this area was a major hub of the ancient Scythian civilization, which makes it all the more intriguing. Compared to other places I have visited, Cholpon-Ata offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance.
