Then we will pass through two gorges where we will see all the classic Kyrgyz panoramas: alpine meadows, forest-covered slopes of the mountains, rivers, and visit a mountain lake in the Grigoryevsky Gorge.

An early breakfast and we set off on our journey. At the hotel, we will be picked up by a military UAZ or GAZ-66 vehicle. The road ahead is not long, but it is quite challenging. However, the views surrounding us will more than make up for any discomfort. The plans for the day are as follows: we will walk through the gorge, bathe in the thermal springs, and return to Karakol in the evening.

We will have dinner with a Dungan family.

Included meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner, UAZ or GAZ-66 transportation.

After a leisurely breakfast, we set off to the Jyrgalan Valley, famous to most as a paradise for skiing and freeriding in Kyrgyzstan. However, this destination is also popular among the locals in the summer as a place for kumis therapy. So, after breakfast, we head to Jyrgalan Valley and upon arrival, we will check into the Peak Lodge hotel complex where you can enjoy breathtaking views of untouched nature and take a stroll to the Kok Bel Waterfall or Turaluu Kol Lake.

Upon returning, we will have dinner and relax.

After a leisurely breakfast, we set off towards the village of Inylchek. It is a long-abandoned city, and to reach it, we have to undertake a long and difficult journey through the Chon Ashuu Pass (3900m). Later we arrive at our first destination for today’s journey, the city of Inylchek, where we take a walk in the ghost town. Currently, about 30 families live in Inylchek, and they rear livestock. You can take beautiful photographs here.

Next, we will head to the hot springs located a few kilometers away from the city, and if the situation with the water level in the river allows us, we will take a dip in the springs located right in the riverbed.

Towards the evening, we will arrive in Karakol.

Breakfast. Transfer to the village of Bokonbaevo. Our plan for today is to visit the famous Jeti Oguz Gorge, where we will climb to a panoramic platform with a view of the entire valley. Then, we will head towards the village of Bokonbaevo, with our next stop planned at the picturesque Barskoon Gorge, and we will visit two beautiful waterfalls. Afterward, we have another stop in one of the most visited gorges on the southern coast of Issyk-Kul – the Canyon of Fairy Tale. The reason for this is its easy accessibility, stunning landscapes, and contrasts. Soil erosion continuing for thousands of years has created various bizarre stone and clay figures in the canyon. The Canyon of Fairy Tale is composed of variously colored clays, minerals, and rocks, adding picturesque beauty to this place.

Then, we will continue our journey to the village of Bokonbaevo where we will be accommodated. After dinner, we will meet with local ethno-musicians.

Lake Son Kul is a large high altitude lake, located between the ridges of Son Koul Too and Moldo-Too at an altitude of 3,016 meters above sea level in the northwestern part of the Naryn region. It is a potential destination for ecological tourism with a length of 29 km, a maximum depth of 14 meters, an average depth of 8.6 meters, and a flowing river – the Son Kul River. We will be accommodated in a yurt camp on the lakeshore.

After breakfast at the yurt camp, we will hit the road. The journey from Son Kul to Tash Rabat caravan sarai will take approximately three and a half hours. We will have an excursion to the museum and lunch there. Tash Rabat is an ancient fortress on the Great Silk Road. Some say that it was built as a caravanserai to provide a resting place for weary travelers who were crossing the difficult mountain passes along the Great Silk Road. They could rest, warm up, and spend the night here before continuing their journey from Kashgar to Lake Issyk-Kul or the Fergana Valley in the early morning. Then, we will make our way to the city of Naryn and spend the night in the best hotel in Naryn. Dinner and free time.

After breakfast, we will leave the city of Naryn and follow the course of one of the largest rivers in Kyrgyzstan – the Naryn River. The Naryn River is one of the most full-flowing rivers in Kyrgyzstan, which originates in the upper reaches of the central Tien Shan after the merger of the small and large Naryns, and after leaving the territory of Kyrgyzstan, it becomes a tributary of the even more massive and significant Karadar River of Central Asia. Today we will face a steep road with incredible views, and we will stop along the way to enjoy the panoramas. We will drive to the confluence of the two rivers, the Naryn and Kichyrin, and then continue on to the village of Kochkor, where a guesthouse has already been reserved for us.
