From Karakol we return back to Bishkek by the southern route and visit the canyon of Skazka (perhaps known only for tourists). Local people do not have any idea of its existence. However, we do not want to miss out on all the guides praised by the valley, which is especially beautiful with its red colors at sunset.

"Fairytale Canyon"

Karakol - Tosor

We will catch Marshall in Tosor just before departure. We will reject an indomitable lady with pies about 10 times. After about an hour we get out in the city center, which in the guide seems to be the closest to the canyon we want to visit. We go to the lake first. From the car it looked like a beautiful, clear sea, which is a joy to jump into. Along the way we meet a lot of children, so I get rid of postcards and the girls are directly excited about cats and dogs and willingly pose for a photo. I'll just go around the corner, run home with his present to show off… There is no one by the lake except for garbage (watch out for needles and shards), so we go to the shelter, where we leave our backpacks and after testing the water temperature we climb into the lake to the ankles. completed. September is simply not the time, the water is cooling down quickly. In addition, when it pulls, we also put on our jackets and go back to the „center“ to look for a ride to the canyon. It doesn't surprise me anymore that the locals don't know there is such a thing. So we arrive at the place where the marshmallow fired us and wait for someone to notice us. We try to ask in the store, but we don't get it. But after a while he stops the car and so we somehow make an agreement and after a while we sit in the back with a pear in our hand and with backpacks in a suitcase and go in the direction of Skazka. We planned to sleep here and wait for the sunset, when the rocks are beautifully lit by the sun's rays into the ore, but the logistics are not easy here, so we just take a picture of everything and continue to Bokonbayev.

Lake Issyk-Kul

Issyk-kul (= warm lake) is a stagnant lake in northern Tien Shan in the eponymous area of northeastern Kyrgyzstan. It is one of the largest mountain lakes in the world.

Skazka Canyon

A local man leads us to the canyon, who suspects the right place. But we won't get to him until the second time. We will be surprised by a barrier with a booth, where the entrance fee is collected – only for tourists, of course. But since we are close, we pay and go to see the beauty.

Skazka Canyon

There are still a few hours to go until west, but the sun is already on the right side and the rocks are starting to turn red.
