When we arrived in Bishkek, we were greeted by a nice older lady who took us to our guest house in the centre of town. From there, we set out exploring. We quickly realized that the town was very laid back without much going on, even though it is the capital city.
After another day in the city we caught a bus to karakol. The by passed along Issuk-kol through the surrounding mountains, it was stunning.
Karakol itself leaves not much to be desired and could be explored in about 30 minutes. We settled in for the night and planned to leave early for our first day of hiking.
We waited for the minibus that never came before hiring a taxi to Jehti-Ogurz where we spent the day in the incredible
valleys where summer jailoos or yurt camps were being set up. It was do serene and beautiful.
We hitched a ride, yes now we can say we have only hitchhiked in Tanzania and Kyrgyzstan, back to town, and leave tomorrow for Altanarshan.
