Discovering Kyrgyzstan's Hidden Gems: A Walk to Altyn-Arashan's Golden Hot Springs from Ak-Suu village

Image
On July 21, 2018, my mother and I embarked on a 2-day, 1-night trek to Altyn-Arashan. We own and operate Happy Nomads Yurt Camp in Karakol , Kyrgyzstan, and since many of our guests visit Altyn-Arashan and Ala-Kol lake, we wanted to experience the trek ourselves. By doing so, we could provide our guests with helpful advice. We began our journey from Karakol at 8:30 AM by heading to the minibus station for marshrutka #350. This minibus departs from the Ak-Tilek+ bazaars minibus station every 15-20 minutes and costs about 50 soms. You can see the location of the marshrutka on this map that I created. After a 20-25 minute ride, the minibus arrived at the intersection of the road leading to Altyn-Arashan and the road leading to Ak-Suu resort. The minibus continues straight, so you'll need to inform the driver to stop at this location. You can't miss it – the village of Ak-Suu ends, and you'll see a sign indicating the way. We arrived at the starting point at 9 AM. I began using...
