About this Journey
Today we hike down 1 hour and half to hot springs of the Chong Kyzyl Suu valley: "Jeli Suu" litteraly translates to "Hot Water". It looks like a small alpine mountain resort, but don't wait too much comfort. There is a wooden house with the pool in the rock, and there is another hotest pool in a 2 floor house.
After a short hot bath, on vehicle we drive to Issyk Kul south shore. A stop at Kyzyl Suu village and visit of the bazar. Then the road goes along a red canyon and the shore of the lake. We stop and visit the Skazka canyon. This canyon is more colorful than red rocks of Chong Kyzyl Suu.
Arrival at an year-around open yurt camp on the beach of the Issyk Kul lake, relax and baths.
Options : Drive into Barskoon valley (waterfall, glaciers, mountain lakes); visit of an falconer;
