Journey notes

After breakfast, you will make your way to another hidden valley in Kyrgyzstan.
The first stop of the day will be in Fairy Tale Canyon where you will be able to enjoy a 1-2-hour hike though the dry canyon. Everyone loves this stop with the great views of Issyk Kul lake from the top of the sandy rock formations.
The next stop for the day will be in the former Soviet Union Geophysical station in the Chong Kyzyl Suu valley. This geophysical station is full of history from WW2 and it’s on the real Silk Road that would pass into China from Kyrgyzstan.
To reach the geophysical station in winter you will have to hike 6-8 km in the snow. It’s also possible to hike in with snowshoes.
