Orto Syrt jailoo

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.

Ak-Tash mountains (Song Kul)

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.

Kok Jayik meadows

Located on the southern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul, Djeti-Oguz Gorge and the Kok-Zhayyk Jailoo are natural wonders that offer an unforgettable escape into nature. "Djeti-Oguz," translating to "Seven Bulls," refers to the striking red sandstone cliffs that resemble a line of giant bulls, with the majestic peak of Oguz Bashi, or "Bull's Head," standing tall at 5181 meters at the end of the gorge. Nearby, the "Broken Heart" rock adds to the area's romantic and mythical charm.

Yurts in Kyrgyzstan: What the Tradition Really Means

Field-aware guide content for Kyrgyzstan, adding context before clichés and helping travelers understand the place before they arrive.

The Kyrgyz yurt, or "boz üy," is an emblem of the nomadic cultures that have traversed the rugged terrains of Central Asia for centuries.

Tash-Rabat to Chatyr Kol

This is a great hike from Tash Rabat to Chatyr Kol. It's long, so if you are taking camping equipment, you would probably want to do this in two days. There is a yurt camp at the end of the hike, so you can do this with a day pack.

Ak-Tash (Chong Kyzyl Suu valley)

Ak-Tash (which means "white stone" in Kyrgyz) lies at the foot of the great forests of Chong Kyzyl Suu Valley. 

The red rock hills form an incredible contrast between the blue Issyk Kul lake and the large meadows covered with edelweiss. In summer, the Ak-Tash yurt camp provides a stopover for overnight stays if you come on horseback or by foot from the Jukku Valley or Jeti Oguz.
