Burana Tower, Kyrgystan😍

Hello everyone! This is Burana Tower😍

History of Burana Tower🤗

The Burana Tower is a historical and architectural monument that dates back to the end of the 10th century and the beginning of the 11th century. It is located 15 kilometers from the town of Tokmok and was once part of the Balasagun town and citadel. This archaeological site was home to a citadel, mausoleums, mosque, church, and bathhouse, and many archeological treasures have been found there. The tower, made of red bricks, currently stands at 25 meters tall, with a bottom diameter of 9 meters and a top diameter of 6 meters. Inside the tower, there are small stairs leading to the top. According to inscriptions found at the site and the chronicles of Mukhammed Khaidar, the Burana Tower was built for Balasagun Legislator Imam Muhammad. The Kalyan Minaret in Bukhara, which was the western capital of the Karakhanids, was built in 1127 and stands at 46.7 meters tall. It is believed that the same architect, Usto Bako, built both the Burana and Kalyan Minarets.

How to get to this place? Actually if you want to Burana Tower you can took local transportation but that time we took Ground Package from local people it’s not expensive we just spend below 300 usd for the ground tour 4 days 3 night. The package include accomodation+transportation+meals+entrance fee+tour guide🤗

Why I choose ground tour in Kyrgystan? because we don’t have enough time to explore this Kyrgystan using public transport, one day if I go there again I will explore this country using public transport and travel like a local peoples😁

Please put Burana Tower in your itinerary, it’s amazing building and full of history🥰
