That day’s mileage was the longest in the tour, that’s why we got up very early and had breakfast at seven o'clock in the morning. The first stop was in the foothills of the Ala-Too Range where we could see quaint patterns on the hills after haying. Then we had a "coffee break" by the waterfall, the scent of freshly brewed coffee combined harmoniously with the smell of coniferous trees. The main event of that day was the passage of the pass. For our tourists the passage of such high mountain passes by the car was for the first time.

In one of these cases, the travelers had only five days to fly to Kyrgyzstan, go for a drive along the mountain roads and fly back home. According to our tradition, we met our guests at the terminal of the "Manas" International Airport and took them to the bus that was waiting for us in the parking lot with refreshments for tourists – boorsoks (national bakery) and apricot jam. According to the local custom you should dip boorsoks into sweet jam to have successful journey.

Dzheti Oguz Gorge
Dzheti Oguz is a famous resort that is situated not far from the town of Karakol. The name of the gorge is translated from Russian as “Seven Bulls”.

The resort is famous for its geothermal hot springs and curative mud the good of which was first described in the proceedings of the well-known traveler and explorer of Central Asia - Semenov-Tyan-Shansky.

Altyn Arashan

The name of Altyn Arashan Gorge is translated from the Kyrgyz language as “a golden spring”. The gorge has a number of hot springs that are enriched with radon and sulphuretted hydrogen and have a positive therapeutic effect on a human body. Tens of holes have mountain trails leading to amazing waterfalls and lakes. The springs themselves are quite diverse and differ in temperature, shape and location. Radon baths are very useful for treatment of such diseases as the musculoskeletal, nervous, endocrine and cardiovascular systems. The time of bathing in the springs is limited and when it is out you can enter an ice-cold mountain river. Being in the gorge you can see a stunning view of Palatka (a tent) Peak that is 4260 m in elevation and resembles a tent covered with snow. The slopes of the gorge are covered with Tian Shan fir trees, flowers and herbs. All year round the gorge is difficult of access that’s why specially equipped vehicles are used for reaching it.
