Bökönbaev (Kyrgyz: Бөкөнбаев, Russian: Боконбаево, romanized: Bokonbayevo) is a village in the Issyk-Kul Region of Kyrgyzstan. It is the seat of the Tong District and of the Kün-Chygysh village community.[1] It was established as Kol'tsovka village in 1912. [2] With a population of 14,267 (2021),[3] it is the largest village on the south shore of lake Issyk Kul. Its industry has decayed since Soviet times. It is now a base for tourism into the mountains to the south. There are demonstrations of falconry with eagles. The road to the west to Balykchy goes through dry and less-attractive country.
