Day 2: Hike to Lake Kel-Suu and back (horseback is possible). You can go boating or kayaking. A little about the lake. Lake Kel-Suu (Kol-Tetiri) is located in the Kok-Kiya River valley in the southeastern part of the Naryn region. The lake is of glacial origin, sandwiched between high monolithic rocks. It is considered one of the most beautiful in the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic, because it is unique in its own way. It is located at an altitude of 3,500 m above sea level and changes its colors depending on the season and lighting. Kel-Suu means receding water in Russian. The climate here is quite harsh, even in the warm season it can be cold, and the weather changes quite quickly. The valley itself leading to the lake is incredibly picturesque. The valley is guarded by high pointed peaks, and herds of colorful yaks and horses graze on the green lawn along the river. There are also national yurts in the valley, where we will live and taste delicious national cuisine. They will also give us the opportunity to sleep comfortably and warmly, because they are heated, and there are frosts at night even in the middle of summer. The lake is large and only a small part is visible from the shore, you can order an excursion on a boat and see its distant shores.

Yurt camp - Naryn - Lake Sonkol

Day 3. Visit to Lake Sonkol. Lake Sonkol is located at an altitude of 3000 m. This lake is quite large and is second in size only to Issyk-Kul. The lake is fresh and quite deep - the maximum depth of the lake is 14 meters. The lake is surrounded by low hills, cattle graze, and there are yurt camps nearby, which makes this place picturesque. A beautiful mountain pass leads to the lake. There are 4 of them, and each is interesting and unique in its own way. Here you can meet many foreign cyclists storming these magnificent passes. You can go kayaking in good weather.
