Karakol to Grand South Shore round trip

A safe and reliable travel with Valentin

Experience the best of Kyrgyzstan in one incredible day. This "Grand Tour" takes you on a 200km loop along the wild southern shore of Issyk-Kul. We start with the legendary red sandstone of Jeti-Oguz (Seven Bulls) and the "Broken Heart" rock. Next, we head deep into the alpine forests of Barskoon Valley to hike up to its massive waterfalls and visit the Yuri Gagarin monuments. Our final stop is the otherworldly Fairy Tale Canyon (Skazka), where you can wander through a red-rock labyrinth with views of the turquoise lake. We’ll have you back in Karakol just in time for dinner.

What’s Included:

  • Full Day Service: Approximately 8–10 hours of travel and exploration.
  • Flexible Stops: Ample time at each location (1–2 hours per spot) for hiking and photos.
  • Safe Storage: Leave your heavy gear and extra layers in the car while you explore.
  • Bonus: Ask your driver for a quick swim stop at a secluded south-shore beach if the weather is warm!
