Journey notes

About this Journey

After breakfast in Karakol, we set out in a special 4WD vehicle toward the Altyn Arashan Valley. We first drive to the nearby village of Ak-Suu, located at the foot of the Altyn Arashan gorge, where we stop to visit a beautiful wooden Orthodox church. From there, we continue along the mountain road up to the hot springs of Altyn Arashan—one of the most beautiful alpine-style valleys in Kyrgyzstan.Here we enjoy a relaxing soak in the natural hot baths as well as a pleasant hike through the surrounding scenery. In the late afternoon, we return to Karakol by the same route for dinner and overnight.
