Pure nature in Kyrgyzstan

Day 1: Arrival Upon arrival at the airport, you will be picked up at the agreed meeting point by the driver I trust. After about four hours of driving you will arrive in Tossor. Now it's time to acclimatize, get familiar with the place, the guesthouse* and the people. * Our guesthouse in Tossor is family run and located right near the beach on a compound with an apricot garden. Each room is rather simply furnished, but has its own toilet with shower according to European standards. There are some communal sitting areas and a campfire site on the grounds; dining is in an open pavilion in the garden. Day 2: Fairy Tale Not far from Tossor is the "Miniature Grand Cannyon of Kyrgyzstan." It is small and cozy, but no less spectacular. In the light-and-shadow play of the setting sun, a wide variety of mythical creatures emerge from the relief of the red sandstone, making it perfectly clear why this place is called "Fairy Tale". Day 3: Tamga Gorge Scattered on the vastness of the Kyrgyz mountains you can find large stones with Buddhist inscriptions on them. In the mountain gorge Tamga there are three of them. We will meet one of them on our way through this green mountain gorge. But our real goal here is the hike - because the hike through this green picturesque mountain gorge is worth every step. Day 4: Barskoon Barskoon mountain gorge is famous for its waterfalls and today we will make a pilgrimage to the largest of them. The cascading waterfall is named "Tears of Snow Leopard" and lets its water fall almost 100 meters into the depth. The narrow trails leading to the waterfall also offer truly breathtaking views of the beautiful mountain landscape of this gorge. Day 5: Day Off Before we leave our lovely guesthouse and move to our next overnight stop in Karakol, we treat ourselves to a day of rest and relaxation today. Here we have a clean, almost deserted sandy beach and crystal clear water right at our doorstep. If you like, you can spend today in a different way, e.g. explore the place on your own or retire to a shady place with a book. Day 6: Dzhety-Oguz Our way leads us today on a jailau. This is, so to speak, the "Kyrgyz mountain pasture". In the summer months the Kyrgyz from the villages move here to let their cattle graze. Dzhety-Oguz is a particularly large and somewhat more luxuriantly inhabited jailau, which is accustomed to receiving guests. The young Kyrgyz here let us go for a ride on the back of their horses (riding remains optional; riding experience is not required). And of course we will eat in a traditional yurt. Afterwards we will drive to our guesthouse in Karakol, where we will stay for the next three nights.
