After a hearty breakfast, we set off for the city of Karakol. Today, we'll explore three magnificent gorges, each offering its own unique charm.
Our first stop is the Fairy Tale Canyons, one of Kyrgyzstan's most fascinating destinations. Marvel at the fantastical sandstone formations that give the canyon its whimsical name.
Next, we'll visit the Jeti-Oguz Gorge, renowned for its picturesque sandstone mountains resembling seven bulls. These iconic rock formations are a protected natural landmark.
Upon arrival in Karakol, we'll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before checking into our guesthouse. Later, we'll head to our third gorge, where instead of hiking, we'll indulge in a relaxing soak in the hot springs. With water temperatures reaching up to 50 degrees Celsius, you can choose from several pools with varying temperatures.
In the evening, we'll dine with a Dungan family and participate in a culinary masterclass, immersing ourselves in their rich culinary traditions.
Overnight stay at the guesthouse.
