Ala Archa National Park Daytrip Bishkek

Day 1: Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to Ala Archa National Park, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

Far over the misty mountains rise… No... this is not as far as it may seem. If you are in Bishkek, be sure to visit the Ala - Archa national Park, which is located 40 km from the city . After all, if the crystal -clear lake Issyk-Kul can be compared with the legendary Arkenstone on the land of Kyrgyzstan, then the ancient and majestic mountains are considered a real treasure of this beautiful and hospitable country. Being in Ala Archa you can explore: 1. Path along the Ala-Archa river , (1.3 km, 30 minutes) Simple beautiful route. You just walk along the path along the swirling river, admire the mountains, breathe pine needles. A person of any age can cope , you can take children and a stroller with you. Walk to the end of the trail and return in an hour and a half with stops for photos / snacks. There are benches and several gazebos along the road. Be sure to bring food with you — it is very nice to have lunch in the Ala-Archa Park . 2. The Waterfall (4 km) More invigorating air, more virgin mountains , more positive emotions and impressions! On the way you will see the "Broken heart" gorge (altitude 2377m), the Tepshi plateau (altitude 2458m) and the Ak Sai waterfall itself (altitude 2665m). If you are going to the track, please come early. The ascent to the waterfall and the descent back takes 5-6 hours. P.S: You can go further to the hut of Racek (altitude 3300m), but... But seems that's a different story. Maybe the story of your following tour to misty mountains that rise out there somewhere, far far away…
