Chon-Kyzyl-Suu Today

The Chon-Kyzyl-Suu Valley lies 60 km west of the city of Karakol. It stretches for approximately 40 km through spectacular mountain terrain worthy of film sets. Kyzyl-Suu Valley is the perfect place to breathe fresh air and reconnect with nature in solitude. A sense of well-being and harmony embraces you when surrounded by waters cascading down hillsides with towering mountains as your backdrop. A magical and unforgettable moment that sometimes needs no words.

This journey through the valley will lead you along paths bordered by pine forests and verdant meadows, where you may observe herds of horses grazing on fresh grass. As you venture into the higher reaches of the valley, through dense forests at 2,000 meters in altitude, you can indulge in mushroom and berry picking and perhaps spot some wildlife (wild boar, roe deer, pheasants, marmots…).

Continue your excursion to the small Dzhyly-Suu Valley. There, you can enjoy the hot springs rich in hydrogen sulfide, with waters reaching up to 43°C. In the upper section of the gorge, explore the various passages leading to the Kolpakovsky Glacier, one of the largest glaciers in Terskey Ala-Too.

From Karakol, minibuses, buses and shared taxis travel throughout the surrounding areas. It is also possible to rent a car with driver.
