About this Journey

Start your day with an invigorating drive as we ascend to the high plateau of Arabel Suu, passing through the breathtaking Barskoon Pass at an altitude of 3,900 meters. Be mesmerized by the surrounding glacier, where nature's frozen masterpiece unfolds before your eyes. En route, witness the enchanting waterfalls of Barskoon Gorge and to the memorial of the legendary Yuri Gagarin.

As we descend from the heights, the tranquil beauty of Issyk Kul lake beckons.

Continuing our adventure, we venture to Jeti Oguz, known for its distinctive "Seven Bulls" rock formation. Marvel at these imposing red cliffs, standing tall against the backdrop of the Kyrgyz landscape. Their captivating presence tells tales of ancient legends.

Finally, we reach Karakol city, where you can unwind and find respite. Rest and rejuvenate in a welcoming guesthouse, allowing the day's experiences to sink in. Discover the charm of this historical city, with its rich cultural heritage and vibrant atmosphere, as you prepare for a peaceful overnight stay.
