Orto Cyrt (or Orto-Syrt) jailoo is a hidden gem and one of the most enchanting high-altitude summer pastures (jailoos) in Kyrgyzstan's remote Ak-Talaa District, Naryn Region. Lying between the Borulu Pass and Kulak Ashuu Pass on the adventurous off-road route from Baetov to Tash Rabat, this expansive alpine meadow sits at the peaceful confluence of the Kalgakar and Akbeyit rivers.

Nestled in Kyrgyzstan's Ak-Talaa District, the Terek Canyon (or gorge) along the Terek River is a stunning highlight on the scenic route from Baetov to Tash Rabat. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Baybiche Too mountain range, this area showcases striking contrasts: lush green river oases near Baetov transition into rugged, arid badlands where the Terek carves through steep rocky cliffs in earthy reds, oranges, and browns under vast skies.

Ak-Tash, peaking at 3,853 m, is the only isolated mountainous formation at the heart of the Song Kul Lake basin. Located northeast of the lake, the range extends about 10 km long and 6 km wide. At its northeastern end, the Djaman Echki and Ak-Tash valleys converge to form the Djaman Echki Pass (3,341 m), which separates this massif from the Song Kul Too range.

Nestled among the towering mountains and fresh, cool air of Naryn, Manty Center is more than just a café—it’s a place where the traditions of Kyrgyz home cooking are kept alive. From early morning until evening, the team greets every guest with a smile and serves dishes prepared with care and locally sourced ingredients.
The star of the menu is the house specialty: real homemade manti, steamed to tender perfection in the traditional way, with thin dough, a juicy meat filling, and fragrant spices.

Nomad Coffee is a central stop in Naryn for coffee, a full meal, or a short break between road stages. The café is used by both locals and travelers, so it works well for anyone needing a reliable place in town rather than a destination restaurant.
Coffee is the main draw, with espresso-based drinks prepared with care and a setup that aims for consistency cup to cup. The room is comfortable for a pause, an informal meeting, or time to sit indoors before continuing a journey.
