15 Things to do in Karakol, Kyrgyzstan Travel Guide video transcript:
Hey guys this week we are in Karakol, Kyrgyzstan. Yeah, so Karakol (Каракол) is a place that we've actually visited last year but we were only here on a day trip so we didn't get to see a whole lot. Right and this is basically the adventure capital of Kyrgyzstan. There is a lot of good hiking, you can take boat trips. So we're just going to show you like what you can do in and around this area. Let's
Our first stop was the Dungan Mosque. This mosque is unique because architecturally it looks a lot like a Buddhist temple; this is because it was built by the Dungan community, an ethnically Chinese people group who follow Islam.
Another iconic place of worship in Karakol (Каракол) is the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church. This is a traditional Russian wooden cathedral complete with onion domes.
We also squeezed in a quick visit to Karakol’s History Museum, which has a rather fascinating taxidermy collection.
Okay so it is dinner time here in Karakol (قاراقول) and the sun has gone down and today we are going to be doing a traditional meal with a family.
So we're going to be preparing Ashlyanfu (Ашлян-фу) which is a cold noodle starch soup and then we're going to go into their home and have a nice family dinner together.
And because we love our food, we also took a cooking class where we learned to make a traditional Uyghur dish: laghman (Лагман).
As far as day trips go, one nearby attraction from Karakol (Каракол) is Jeti Oguz known for its red hills. It’s about a 30 minute drive and you can easily hire a driver to take you out there.
Last but not least, one of the most popular things to do in Karakol (Каракол) is hiking. This is considered the adventure capital of Kyrgyzstan (Киргизия) with many hikes and horse treks starting right in town.
And that’s a little taste of what Karakol and the surrounding area has to offer visitors. We hope you enjoyed this travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas of things to do in Karakol (Каракол).
This is part of our Travel in Kyrgyzstan video series showcasing Kyrgyz food, Kyrgyz culture and Kyrgyz cuisine.

Karakol, City Walk - Kyrgyzstan 4K Travel Channel
Our city walk in Karakol starts at the Dungan Mosque. Rakhat Dzhamalova from Destination Karakol welcomes us in front of the entrance. Destination Karakol aims to sustainable strengthening tourism in the region. Rakhat speaks excellent German and English, probably also Kyrgyz and Russian. She will go with us on a two-hour tour.
To begin with, she tells us something about the history of the city. Karakol was founded in 1869 as a Russian military base. Based on the first coat of arms she shows the historical context. The crown symbolizes the fort. The crescent shows the Muslim religious affiliation of the inhabitants. The globe symbolizes the international research expeditions that started here. The bee shows the importance of honey production for the first settlers. As early as 1983, the military built 80 houses.
Today, Karakol has about 90,000 inhabitants and is growing very fast. The engine of growth is tourism. The city has a university and several colleges.
Besides Russians, the first settlers were Ukrainians who moved here because of bad harvests in their homeland. After that, many Dungans fled from China because of political persecution. Primarily, they came from Guangzhou province. 3000 Dungan people live in the city. Until 2015, the Dungan Mosque was the central mosque in Karako. A Chinese architect who lacked the right hand, built the mosque including the carvings together with 20 workers, in just three months. They didn't use any nails. The columns symbolize poplars, many of which were planted around the mosque.
In a Dungan village in the vicinity is a museum, built by the same architect.
As payment, one sent him 2 camels with gold and other treasures to China, but they never arrived.
After visiting the mosque, we continue towards the Orthodox Church.
Then we pass the Tatar mosque, built before 1854. In the backyard is also a boxing club. It was the first stone building and survived the earthquake of 1854 unscathed.
We arrive at the Russian Quarter, so to speak the old town, built by the first Russian military. The white-and-blue houses are often described as gingerbread houses. With the help of USAID, one restored a whole street in the original state.

Unser Stadtrundgang in Karakol startet bei der Dunganen-Moschee. Rakhat Dzhamalova von Destination Karakol begrüßt uns vor dem Eingang. Destination Karakol hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt den Tourismus in der Region nachhaltig zu stärken. Rakhat spricht ausgezeichnet Deutsch und Englisch. Vermutlich auch noch mindestens Kirgisisch und Russisch. Sie wird uns auf einem zweistündigen Rundgang begleiten.
Zur Einleitung erzählt sie uns einiges über die Geschichte der Stadt. Karakol wurde 1869 als russische Militärbasis gegründet. Anhand des ersten Stadtwappen zeigt sie den geschichtlichen Zusammenhang. Die Krone symbolisiert das Fort. Der Halbmond zeigt die muslimische Religionszugehörigkeit der Bewohner. Der Globus symbolisiert die internationalen Forschungsexpeditionen, die hier ihren Ausgang nahmen und die Biene zeigt die Bedeutung der Honiggewinnung für die ersten Siedler. Bereits 1983 erbauten die Militärs 80 Häuser.
Heute hat Karakol ca. 90.000 Einwohner und wächst sehr stark. Motor des Wachstums ist der Tourismus. Die Stadt besitzt eine Universität und mehrere Colleges.
Die ersten Siedler waren neben den Russen Ukrainer, die wegen schlechter Ernten in ihrer Heimat hierher umsiedelten. Danach kamen viele Dunganen, die wegen politischer Verfolgung aus China flohen. Primär kamen sie aus der Provinz Guangzhou. 3000 Dunganen leben in der Stadt. Die Dunganen Moschee war bis 2015 die zentrale Moschee in Karakol. Sie wurde von einem chinesischen Architekten, dem die rechte Hand fehlte mit 20 Arbeitern in nur drei Monaten inkl. der Schnitzereien erbaut. Es wurden keinerlei Nägel verwendet. Die Säulen symbolisieren Pappeln, von denen auch viele um die Moschee gepflanzt wurden.
In einem Dunganen Dorf in der näheren Umgebung gibt es ein Museum vom gleichen Architekten.
Als Bezahlung wurden ihm 2 Kamele mit Gold und weiteren Schätzen nach China gesandt, die aber nie ankamen.
Nach der Besichtigung der Moschee gehen wir weiter in Richtung orthodoxe Kirche.
Danach passieren wir die Tataren-Moschee, erbaut vor 1854. Im Hinterhof befindet sich auch ein Boxklub. Es war das erste Gebäude aus Stein und hat das Erdbeben von 1854 unbeschadet überstanden.
Wir sind nun im russischen Viertel angekommen, quasi der Altstadt, die von den ersten russischen Militärs errichtet wurde. Die weiß-blauen Häuser werden gerne auch als Lebkuchenhäuser bezeichnet. Mit Hilfe von USAID wurde ein Straßenzug im Originalzustand wieder restauriert.

Przhevalsky Museum Tour - Kyrgyzstan 4K Travel Channel
Only 10 km northwest of Karakol, on the banks of the Yssyk-Kul, lies the Przhevalsky Memorial Park. Here is the grave of Przhevalsky as well as a monument and a museum to his honors.
Nikolai Mikhailovich Przhevalsky, often named after the Polish spelling Przewalski, was an officer of the Tsar. His outstanding contributions to the study of Central Asia made him an active member of the Russian Geographical Society and a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Between 1867 and 1888, one sent him to the Yssyk- Kul region as well as four times to China, Mongolia, and Tibet. He should find a shortcut to Tibet. Przhevalsky brought back many informative data that helped the Zar Nikolai II at its policy of expansion. In Tibet, he met the Dalai Lama.
During the preparations for an expedition to Tibet in 1988, Przhevalsky died of typhoid fever in Karakol. He was buried on the shore of the Yssyk-Kul. His monument, that allegedly shows in the direction of Lhasa in Tibet, is marked by an eagle with a branch and a map of Central Asia.
We start our tour of the Przhevsky Museum. The researcher receives us in a large painting. In a small adjoining room, a ceramic relief map shows the routes of his expeditions, which took him through large parts of China and Mongolia.
He repeatedly reported sightings of wild horses until he brought along the skull and skin of a wild horse from one of his expeditions and had it scientifically described. This breed went down in history as Przewalski horses. Today we know that these were not pure wild horses, but descends from the domesticated horses of the Botai. The Botai horses have domesticated already 5500 years ago in Kazakhstan.
As we had lived 30 years in Munich, we know the Przewalski horse for a long time. In the Hellabrunn Zoo, one rears the Przewalski horses and returns them to the wild in Mongolia. After the stock had fallen to 40 horses worldwide, today it is again more than 2000 animals. The breeding takes place in different zoos. Best known for this is the Prague Zoo.
The museum in Karakol exhibits many animal preparations of Central Asian wildlife and many original photographs, drawings, documents and scientific equipment from that time.
We go on to Przhevalsky monument and to its grave. One has a beautiful view of the Yssyk-Kul from here.

Knapp 10 km nordwestlich von Karakol, am Ufer des Yssykköl liegt der Przhevalsky Gedenkpark. Er beinhaltet das Grab von Prschewalski und ein Denkmal und ein Museum zu seinen Ehren.
Nikolai Michailowitsch Prschewalski, oft auch nach der polnischen Schreibweise Przewalski genannt, war Offizier des Zaren. Seine hervorragenden Beiträge zur Erforschung Zentralasiens machten ihn zum aktiven Mitglied der Russischen Geographischen Gesellschaft und Mitglied der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften.
Zwischen 1867 und 1888, entsandte man ihn in die Yssykköl Region und viermal nach China, in die Mongolei und nach Tibet. Er sollte einen kurzen Weg nach Tibet finden. Prschewalski brachte viele informative Daten mit, die dem Zar Nikolai II bei seiner Expansionspolitik halfen. In Tibet traf er den Dalai Lama.
1888, während der Vorbereitungen einer Expedition nach Tibet, starb Przhevalsky in Karakol an Typhus. Er wurde am Ufer des Yssykköl begraben. Sein Denkmal, das angeblich nach Lhasa in Tibet ausgerichtet ist, wird von einem Adler mit einem Zweig und einer Karte Zentralasiens markiert.
Wir beginnen unseren Rundgang im Prschewalski Museum. Auf einem großen Gemälde empfängt uns der Forscher. In einem kleinen Nebenraum zeigt eine keramische Reliefkarte die Routen seiner Expeditionen, die ihn durch weite Teile Chinas und der Mongolei führten.
Mehrfach berichtete er von Sichtungen von Wildpferden, bis er von einer seiner Expeditionen den Schädel und die Haut eines Wildpferdes mitbrachte und wissenschaftlich beschreiben ließ. Diese Rasse ging als Przewalski Pferde in die Geschichte ein. Heute wissen wir, dass dies keine reinen Wildpferde waren, sondern Verwilderungen des vor 5500 Jahren domestizierten Botai Pferdes in Kasachstan ist.
Uns ist das Przewalski Pferd schon lange bekannt, da wir 30 Jahre in München gelebt haben. Im dortigen Tierpark Hellabrunn werden Przewalski Pferde zurück gezüchtet und in der Mongolei wieder ausgewildert. Nachdem der Bestand auf unter 40 Pferde weltweit gefallen war, beträgt er heute wieder mehr als 2000 Tiere. Die Rückzüchtung findet in verschiedenen Zoos statt. Am bekanntesten dafür ist der Prager Zoo.
Das Museum in Karakol beinhaltet viele Tierpräparate der zentralasiatischen Tierwelt und viele Original Fotografien, Zeichnungen, Dokumente und wissenschaftliche Geräte aus jener Zeit.
Wir gehen weiter zu Prschewalski Denkmal und zu seinem Grab. Von hier aus hat man einen schönen Ausblick auf den Yssykköl.

Dungan Village Yrdyk and Family Dinner - Kyrgyzstan 4K Travel Channel
The village of Yrdyk is approximately 10 km west of Karakol. Here lives the closed community of Dungans, the successors of the Muslim Chinese, in China described as Hui. Until recently, only Dungans who are married to Dungans are allowed to live in Yrdyk.
About 140 years ago, the Dungans were expelled from China and came in three groups to Kyrgyzstan. One of these groups settled in Yrdyk. The other two groups were largely assimilated by the local population. Approx 1000 people came to Yrdyk. Today, about 3000 inhabitants live here. They have kept their own culture, which is reflected in architecture, clothing and many other habits.
At the mosque, we meet Aman from Destination Karakol, with whom we already made the food tour in Karakol.
He gives us an overview of the history of the mosque. Originally it was designed by the same architect who built the Dungan Mosque in Karakol. The mosque in Yrdyk should be twice as big. During the construction phase, an insurrection of the Kyrgyz against the Russian Empire took place, and the Dungan also joined the uprising.
But the uprising was defeated and the unfinished mosque turned into a warehouse. Then it was burnt down by the Dungans. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the independence of Kyrgyzstan, today's mosque was rebuilt 20 years ago. Only men have access.
The Dungan museum is only a few streets away. Here, Mr. Lyck Lee awaits us already. He even speaks a little German. Aman acts as an English interpreter.
The immigrant Dungans belong to two ethnic groups, the Ma and the Lee. Mr. Lee is 65 years old and, as the name suggests, a representative of the Lee ethnic group. He says that Bruce Lee is one of his relatives.
He tells the story of the Dungan which came as Arab warriors to China to support the emperor. To make them stay in China, they were married to Chinese women. Paintings and pictures show these couples. Dungans live according to Chinese tradition and customs but have Muslim faith.
150 years ago there was an uprising in China because of the restrictions on the living conditions for farmers. After a 15-year fight, the people had to escape over the Tien Shan Mountains in wintertime.

Das Dorf Yrdyk liegt ungefähr 10 km westlich von Karakol. Hier leben ausschließlich Dunganen, die Nachfolger der moslemischen Chinesen, die in China als Hui bezeichnet wurden. Bis vor Kurzem durften in Yrdyk nur Dunganen leben, die mit Dunganen verheiratet sind.
Die Dunganen wurden vor ca. 140 Jahren in China vertrieben und kamen in drei Gruppen nach Kirgisistan. Eine dieser Gruppen siedelte in Yrdyk. Die anderen beiden Gruppen wurden zum größten Teil von der lokalen Bevölkerung assimiliert. In etwa 1000 Menschen kamen nach Yrdyk. Heute sind es 3000. Sie haben sich ihre eigene Kultur bewahrt, die sich in der Architektur, Kleidung und vielen anderen Gewohnheiten zeigt.
Bei der Moschee treffen wir Aman von Destination Karakol wieder, mit dem wir bereits die Food Tour in Karakol gemacht haben.
Er erzählt uns die Geschichte der Moschee. Ursprünglich wurde sie vom gleichen Architekten geplant, der auch die Dunganen Moschee in Karakol erbaut hatte. Die Moschee in Yrdyk sollte doppelt so groß werden. Während der Bauphase fand ein Aufstand der Kirgisen gegenüber dem Russischen Reich statt, dem sich die Dunganen anschlossen.
Der Aufstand wurde aber niedergeschlagen und die unfertige Moschee in ein Lagerhaus verwandelt. Darauf hin wurde sie von den Dunganen niedergebrannt. Nach dem Zerfall der Sowjetunion und der Unabhängigkeit Kirgisistans wurde die heutige Moschee vor 20 Jahren wieder aufgebaut. Nur Männer haben Zutritt.
Das Dunganen Museum befindet sich nur wenige Straßen weiter. Hier erwartet uns Mr. Lyck Lee. Er spricht sogar etwas deutsch. Aman fungiert als Englisch Dolmetscher.
Die eingewanderten Dunganen waren in zwei Volksgruppen gegliedert, die Ma und die Lee. Mr. Lee ist 65 Jahre alt und, wie der Name schon sagt, ein Vertreter der Lee Volksgruppe. Nach seiner Aussage ist er mit Bruce Lee verwandt.
Er erzählt die Geschichte der Dunganen, die als arabische Krieger nach China kamen um den Kaiser zu unterstützen. Damit sie in China bleiben wurden sie mit chinesischen Frauen verheiratet. Gemälde und Bilder zeigen diese Paare. Dunganen leben nach chinesischen Bräuchen und Sitten haben aber muslimischen Glauben.
In China kam es vor 150 Jahren zum Aufstand wegen Einschränkungen der Lebensbedingungen für Bauern. Nach 15 jährigem Kampf mussten sie im Winter über das Tien Shan Gebirge flüchten.

Kyrgyz food | The BEST meal we had in Kyrgyzstan | Karakol traditional food tour
They say that food is the best way of connecting with a culture - we couldn’t agree more - but then any excuse for an EPIC meal!
In Karakol Kyrgyzstan you can arrange to have the most amazing meal with a local family in the Dungan village. They serve 12 dishes or incredible food and teach you all about the culture. They even let you get involved with the cooking too! Thankfully though, they do do most of it, which is why it's amazing! This is genuinely one of our favourite things to do in Karakol.
This is a great way to support locals in Kyrgystan and get a first hand experience of the nomadic Kyrgyz culture and daily life. You also get to help make and try a noodle dish called Ashlan Fu. Karakol is famous for its signature Ashlan Fu and the Dungan people certainly know how to make a good one! The experience culminates in an incredible meal where the Dungan food just keeps coming! Local breads, fresh fruit and vegetables, noodle dishes, delicious meat dishes and local tea.
So who are the Dungan people? The Dungan people are an ethnic group of Han Chinese muslims who emigrated to central asia and the silk road over 140 years ago. Members of this ethnic group call themselves “Hui people” because they are descendants of Hui who came to Central Asia.

비슈케크를 떠나 이식쿨 호수로 향했다. 해발 1,600m 높이에 있는 이식쿨 호수는 제주도보다 네 배나 커, 호수라기보다는 차라리 바다에 가깝게 보인다. 천산산맥을 사이에 두고 북쪽으로는 카자흐스탄, 남쪽으로는 중국에 접해 있다. 남미의 티티카카 호수에 이어 세계에서 두 번째로 큰 산정호수다. 이식쿨 호수에는 아름답고도 슬픈 전설이 전해져 온다. “호수 한가운데 고대 왕국이 있었는데 물에 잠겨버렸대요. 학자들이 아직 발굴을 못해 볼 수가 없답니다.””그 왕국 정말로 보고 싶네요.””비용이 많이 들 거예요.” 옛날 옛적에 공주가 가난한 청년과 사랑에 빠지자 왕이 공주를 망루에 가둬 버렸다. 연인을 그리워한 공주는 대성통곡을 했고, 결국 왕국은 눈물에 잠겨버렸다고 한다. 물맛을 보니 약간 소금기가 있어 눈물 맛과 거의 비슷했다! 배를 타고 나가면 혹시 물속으로 사라진 왕국을 볼 수 있지 않을까? 이식쿨 호수는 중국, 카자흐스탄과 맞닿아있다. 때문에 이곳에 얽힌 수많은 전설과 역사가 전해져 내려온다. “7세기 당나라 때 현장법사가 이곳에 왔습니다. 1,400년 전이죠. 이곳에 3개월 머물며 설법을 했습니다.” 사라진 왕국을 볼 수는 없었지만 왜 사람들이 이 호수를 그렇게 신비롭게 여기는지는 알 수 있었다. 이식쿨 호수는 흑해와 더불어 구소련 시대부터 대표적인 여름 휴양지로 꼽히는 곳이다. 여름이 되면 수많은 사람들이 ‘중앙아시아의 진주’라 불리는 이곳을 찾는다.

Leaving Bishkek headed by transplantation cool lake. Height of 1,600m above sea level in the cool lake transplant seems rather closer to the sea than four times as large, rather than the lake island. Across the Tianshan Mountains north, bordering Kazakhstan, China, South. Following on Lake Titicaca in South America is the world's second largest lake calculation. The transplant is beautiful and cool lake comes conveys a sad legend. There was a lake in the middle ancient kingdom compendium abandoned flooded. Eopdapnida scholars can not be seen digging yet. I want really to see the kingdom. I'm in a lot of cost. Once upon a time a princess slipped into poor youth and love, the king had locked up the princess in the tower. The princess had a lover who miss Daesung wailing, eventually forsaken kingdom is locked in tears. Seeing mulmat's a little salty tears were almost similar to the taste! You would not ever go out on a boat to see the kingdom disappeared into the water? Cool transplant lake is in contact with China, Kazakhstan. Because it comes handed down numerous legends and history intertwined here. The 7th century Tang Xuan when I'm here. It's 1400 years ago.

촐폰 아타에 있는 한 국영 휴양소. 이 휴양소에는 작은 박물관이 하나 있다. 소련의 지도자였던 브레즈네프를 기념하는 박물관이다. 흐루시초프에 이어 소련공산당 서기장이 된 브레즈네프는 1970년 키르기스스탄을 방문했는데, 그때 이식쿨 호수에서 머물렀다. 이 박물관에는 그가 쓰던 의자와 시계, 주판이 남아있다. 소련 붕괴 전까지 이곳은 고위직과 외국 귀빈들의 휴양소로 사용됐다. 그만큼 유서가 깊은 곳이라 1970년대 구소련 시절의 모습을 그대로 보존하고 있다. 피서객들은 휴양소에 머물며 여러 가지 치료를 받을 수 있다. 가장 많이 하는 것 중 하나는 온천수를 이용한 물치료다. “소금물을 사용하는데 피부염이나 관절염에 효과가 있습니다. 또 심리적으로 편안함을 주고 신경치료에도 도움이 됩니다.” 보통 물치료를 받은 다음에는 진흙 찜질을 한다. 이식쿨 호수 주변에는 고고학 유적지들도 있다. 강 하구였던 이곳에는 큰 바위들이 가득 널려 있다. 그런데 이 바위들에 선사시대의 암각화가 새겨져 있다. “이것이 유명한 암각화 유적입니다. 눈표범을 이용한 사냥이죠. 이것은 산양. 사냥꾼. 이것은 눈표범입니다.” 중앙아시아의 산악지대에는 하얀색 눈표범이 서식한다. 이 그림을 통해 선사시대에 이곳에서는 눈표범을 개처럼 길들여 사냥에 이용했다는 것을 알 수 있다. 사냥에서 하나라도 더 많은 동물을 잡기를 기원하며 바위에 암각화를 새겼을 선사시대 사람들의 소박한 바람이 느껴졌다. 나는 마지막으로 이식쿨 호수 동쪽에 있는 제티 오구스를 찾았다. 제티 오구스는 일곱 마리의 황소라는 뜻이다. 붉은색 바위들이 우뚝 솟아 있어 신비감을 자아낸다. 그러고 보니 바위들이 우람한 황소를 닮은 것 같다.
