The main thing about Jeti-Oguz

Legendary location The gorge is located near Karakol. The red rocks "Seven Bulls" and "Broken Heart" come to life in ancient legends, especially in the rays of the setting sun.

Best time to visit May – October is the ideal season. In summer it is comfortable for walking, and in autumn the soft light creates the best conditions for photographs..

Comfortable walks Easy routes without difficult climbs, observation decks with panoramic views of the rocks and the opportunity to have a picnic in the wild.

More than a photo stop It is a symbol of the region and obligatory must see. We fill the trip with stories and give you time to feel the atmosphere without rushing.

Departure from Bishkek early in the morning. The 300 km long path runs through picturesque passes, where we will make panoramic stops for a first acquaintance with the nature of the Kyrgyz Republic. In the evening we arrive on the southern shore of Issyk-Kul - it is quieter and more pristine here than in the north. Check-in and walk by the water at sunset.

The central event of the tour is immersion in the labyrinths of Fairy Tale Canyon. This is a place where the wind and time created towers, castles and figures of fantastic creatures from red sandstone. We will spend enough time here to catch the soft light for photos, explore hidden paths without unnecessary haste and feel the atmosphere of another planet. The route is easy, does not require preparation, but gives a powerful visual effect.

Morning on the shore of Issyk-Kul: free time for a final walk or meditation by the water. After breakfast we head back to Bishkek. Along the way, we will make stops at iconic panoramic points to consolidate the impressions and take the last shots of the Tien Shan mountain ranges before returning to the city.
