place
Jeti-Ögüz valley
Red rock formations and Skazka canyon in a valley south of Karakol.18.8 km from our hostel, straight line.
What makes this different
Free to enter, and the red rock formations called the Broken Heart and the Seven Bulls run for some 37 kilometres along the valley. The marshrutka leaves the Big Bazaar three times a day for a hundred som, taking about an hour; a shared taxi for four people costs around fifteen hundred. There is no fixed timetable, and in summer you can drive the whole length of the valley and stop wherever the light is right.
