What awaits you on this trip

Frozen lake in winter
What you didn't see in summer, you can see in winter. The overall picture is completely different, and you might think of Lake Baikal, but it's not. Kel-Suu is unique for its height and the beautiful cliffs framing the lake.

Guest house
We'll be staying in heated cabins in the Kok-Kiya Valley and in Naryn, in an excellent guesthouse. We'll be served delicious home-cooked meals everywhere, and greeted with warmth and smiles that will make any frost seem like nothing.

Prepared SUVs
Only properly prepared and equipped off-road vehicles, ready for harsh winter conditions, are used. The lake itself is covered in ice, and you can walk on it or drive all the way to the end.
