Barskoon is a long valley with multiple attractions, but waterfalls are the first-ones you reach by comfortable dirt road (built and used for gold mine). There are multiple waterfalls at the beginning of the valley, and you may choose which part to visit based on your hiking experience. Hiking paths to waterfalls start at the parking lot, opposite to boulder with sculpture of Yurii Gagarin (soviet cosmonaut, who as others cosmonauts visited Issyk Kul resorts for rehabilitation). Slopes are quite steep and you should be careful when hiking to higher parts of the waterfall. You may visit the waterfalls at any season. They freeze during the winter.

If you are looking for serenity, calmness and true authentic alpine views of Kyrgyztan, then should visit Juuku valley. Its not polular tourist destination, which in my mind makes it more unique and calm place. The reason is one needs 4by4 to get there. Its truly underrated place to visit. Many animals are available to see. I personally saw fox, rabbit, eagles while driving there.
