About this Journey
In the morning, we walk from lower part of forest till the geo-physical and meteorological station of Chong Kyzyl Suu. We follow a forestry dirty road, in a narrow gorge. Then, the gorge widens and we cross some meadows before arriving at the station built in 1948. After a picnic, we go back down the valley by the same path as in the morning, to the hot springs located halfway. After our bath, our vehicle is waiting for us to return to the bottom of the valley.
