Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1: Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to Cholpon Ata, Kyrgyzstan

Day 2: Cholpon Ata, Kyrgyzstan to Jeti Oguz, Kyrgyzstan
Drive to Jeti Oguz is a sandstone formation about 25 km (15 miles) southwest of Karakol. The name means “seven bulls”, which comes from the fact that the rocks look like seven bulls. Jeti-Oguz Rocks are a protected Nature Monument.
Day 3: Jeti Oguz, Kyrgyzstan to Kochkor, Kyrgyzstan
Drive to Kochkor. Kochkor is located in Naryn Province, on the road to Lake Son-Kul and Torugart Pass. Kochkor used to be a stop for merchants going to and from Kashgar, on the other side of Torugart Pass in China. Today, Kochkor (or Kochkorka) has become a stop for tourists as they head deeper into the Tian Shan.
Day 4: Kochkor, Kyrgyzstan to Chychkan, Kyrgyzstan
Chychkan Gorge is a long and picturesque gorge in the northern part of the Jalal-Abad region, through which the Bishkek-Osh road passes. Perhaps everyone who traveled from Bishkek to Osh by car remembered this remarkable place well. A wooded gorge, the slopes of which are covered with Tien Shan spruce, flowers and thickets of mountain berries leave few indifferent. Chychkan in translation from Kyrgyz means "mouse."
Day 5: Chychkan, Kyrgyzstan to Arslanbob, Kyrgyzstan
The vast tracts of woodland, filled with nut and fruit trees, in the Arslanbob River valley are the largest of their kind in the world, covering over 600,000 hectares. Up to 1,500 tons of walnuts are harvested every year in the Arslanbob Valley, plus 5,000 tons of apples, pistachios, and cherry plums. In order to protect these generous gifts of nature, the Arslanbob area is now a forest zone protected by the state. Recent deforestation (despite the fact that the forests are protected by law) has been very controversial.
Day 6: Arslanbob, Kyrgyzstan to Osh, Kyrgyzstan
The date of the origin of the Uzgen city is attributed to the 1-2 centuries BC. He served as one of the trade points of the Great Silk Road, which connected Europe and Kashgar in China.
