Rukh Ordo

Rukh Ordo is a unique cultural and historical complex located on the northern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan. The name of the complex translates to «Spiritual Center,» and its main idea is to unite different cultures and religions. Rukh Ordo is a space where architecture, history, art, and spirituality blend harmoniously.

In addition to the chapels, Rukh Ordo houses museums, art galleries, and venues for cultural events. Visitors can learn more about Kyrgyzstan’s culture and history, explore the works of local artists and writers, and visit the Chingiz Aitmatov Museum, dedicated to the life and work of the great Kyrgyz author.
