Bingol sits high on a plateau in Eastern Turkey, surrounded by mountains and a cluster of icy lakes that give the region its nickname, the land of a thousand lakes. The tour invites travelers to explore the natural wonders and layered history that define this highland gem. From the unique Buban fairy chimneys that rise above the village of Oguldere to the bright green valley that snakes between cliff‑topped hills, the landscape is a living canvas of geological marvels and pastoral charm.
The itinerary opens with a relaxed arrival day, allowing guests to settle into their accommodation and wander the town’s streets at their leisure. The following day is a fully guided West Bingol tour: visitors step into the ancient Cicektepe Village Cave, where two rooms and a gallery bear the marks of early settlements; they then ascend to Kigi Castle, perched on steep rocks beside the flowing Fairy Water River, where medieval‑style walls echo centuries of defense. A brief stop at the Kalkanli Village Cave showcases carved adornments that blend natural beauty with artistic heritage. Each site is chosen to illustrate Bingol’s unique blend of natural splendor and cultural depth.
On the final day, travelers enjoy a leisurely breakfast before free time in Bingol, before the transfer to the airport for departure. Throughout the tour, guests experience a blend of scenic exploration, historical insight, and the tranquil atmosphere of a high‑plateau town that welcomes nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
