place
Karakol city centre
Karakol's main street, Aslanova, and everything around it.1.8 km from our hostel, straight line.
What makes this different
A compact grid of streets around Aslanova. Everything worth walking to is close: the Big Bazaar in seven minutes, the visitor centre on 150 Alyshbaeva Street, the former Lenin cinema, where border-zone permits for the Enylchek and Khan Tengri massifs take five to twelve working days, the bus station three kilometres away, and the southern station at Toktogul and Torgoev for the south shore. The main routes out of town all begin here: the Altyn-Arashan hot springs with their sulphurous water at 2500 metres, the four-day Ala-Kul trek, the Jeti-Oguz valley with its Broken Heart and Seven Bulls rock formations, and the evening cruise on the lake.
