Jeti Oguz resort is close to Karakol, if you planning to go here I would be prefer to sleep in yurt also Kok Jaiyk valley, very quiet for sleeping, in the morning you wakes like baby very fresh. Our tour was fir 7 days including Karakol, Song Kol lake and Kel Suu. We booked tour with Pegas Adventure. It was amazing. Highly recommend

Skazka Canyon is known locally a the Fairy Tale Canyon because it is home to a number of bizarre rock formations. These include rocks which resemble the Great Wall of China, a hippo, a castle and penguins. I was surprised at the different colours of the rocks - sandstone, grey and green. It is a bit of a scramble up the hillside. Good walking/climbing shoes are a must but it is worth the effort.

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.
