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.

One Village, One Product-Tasma - Kyrgyzstan 4K Travel Channel
The village of Tasma is about 50 km northeast from Karakol. The women of the village specialize in the production of souvenirs made from felt. We have the opportunity to attend the Foam, felt souvenirs master class.The production site for the for felt objects is right next to the war memorial.
Once we arrive, we are a bit at a loss, because no one gives us an introduction. So we start filming. Then the boss Damira appears and explains to us the procedures.
The felt is made of the wool of goats or sheep, by treating it with water and soap. Sometimes, one puts several layers on top of each other. By watering, squeezing and rolling, the felt hold together. Then it is brought in shape. In the video, you see how one punches holes into the almost ready bag and produces and inserts a cord.
After completion, the products dry for 10 to 15 days.
In the end, we see the production of a purse made of felt. A construction drawing provides the exact data. In this case, a pretty motif is also applied. For pigmentation, one uses only natural colors, e.g. of nut, apricot, and grasses.
The ladies show us some other products, such as slippers, bags, pictures, and carpets.
7 to 8 women work in this enterprise which was set up in 2003. Some are self-employed, but in such a small community, everyone helps everyone.
One produces mainly for the Japanese market. The bags are used to store jewelry or make-up. They are sold for Som 250.- (about € 3.00). It is an exhausting and hard work, which also requires concentration.
Unfortunately, an indisposition on my part also cast its shadows and I had to leave the room for a while because of nausea.
Damira also talked about her grandmother Tolgonai ene, who founded this craft and passed on her knowledge to Damira's mother. Damira's mother, as a single mother, was able to pay her debts and secure her living. We can see a picture of her in a small museum in Karakol, where we will drive afterward.
In front of the door, a huge apricot tree catches our eye. Its fruit would certainly have covered the daily needs of Vienna to produce apricot dumplings.

Die Ortschaft Tasma liegt ungefähr 50 km in nordöstlicher Richtung von Karakol. Die Frauen des Ortes haben sich der Herstellung von Souvenirs aus Filz spezialisiert.
Wir haben die Gelegenheit den Workshop „Foam, felt souvenirs master class“ zu besuchen.
Direkt neben dem Kriegerdenkmal befindet sich die Produktionsstätte für Filzgegenstände.
Als wir ankommen stehen wir erst einmal etwas ratlos herum, da uns niemand eine Einführung gibt. Also beginnen wir erst einmal zu filmen. Dann erscheint die Chefin Damira und erläutert uns die Arbeitsgänge.
Aus der Wolle von Ziegen oder Schafen wird durch Bearbeiten mit Wasser und Seife Filz hergestellt. Oftmals werden mehrere Lagen übereinander gelegt. Durch das Wässern, Auspressen und Walzen hält der Filz zusammen. Anschließend wird er in die benötigte Form gebracht. Im Video kann man sehen, wie auch noch Löcher in den fast fertigen Beutel gestanzt werden und Kordel erzeugt und eingeführt werden.
Nach der Fertigstellung werden die Produkte 10 bis 15 Tage getrocknet.
Zum Abschluss sehen wir die Herstellung einer Geldbörse aus Filz. Eine Konstruktionszeichnung gibt die exakten Daten vor. In diesem Fall wird auch noch ein hübsches Motiv aufgetragen. Als Farbstoffen werden nur natürliche Farben u.a. von Nuss, Aprikose und Gräsern verwendet.
Es werden uns noch eine Reihe anderer Produkte gezeigt, wie Pantoffel, Taschen, Bilder und Teppiche.
In diesem Unternehmen, das 2003 gegründet wurde, arbeiten 7 bis 8 Frauen. Manche arbeiten auch selbständig, doch in einer so kleinen Gemeinschaft hilft jeder jedem.
Es wird hauptsächlich für den Japanischen Markt produziert. Die Beutel dienen zur Aufbewahrung von Schmuck oder Make-up. Sie werden für Som 250.- (ungefähr € 3.00) verkauft. Es ist sicherlich eine anstrengende und harte Arbeit, die auch noch Konzentration erfordert.
Leider warf auch ein Unpässlichkeit meinerseits ihre Schatten voraus und ich musste wegen Übelkeit eine Zeitlang den Raum verlassen.
Damira erzählte noch von ihrer Großmutter Tolgonai ene, die dieses Handwerk gegründet hatte und ihre Kenntnisse an Damiras Mutter weitergegeben hatte. So konnte Damiras Mutter als allein erziehende Mutter ihre Schulden bezahlen und ein gesichertes Leben ermöglichen. Ein Bild von ihr können wir in einem kleinen Museum in Karakol besichtigen, wo wir im Anschluss hinfahren werden.

Adventure Travel in Kyrgyzstan | Horse Trekking and Hiking Trip video transcript:
Well it is our first full day in Kyrgyzstan. We're getting started right into the adventures. Yes. Our horses are here right in town. We're not even waiting until we get into the countryside. We're going to get on them right away and this is going to be awesome. This is what? A three day adventure. We're going to be staying in yurts.
Yeah, so we're going trekking along the south shore of Issyk-Kul lake (Ысык-Көл). Last time we were on the north shore so we'll be seeing a different side. I think the horses are waiting for us so let's hop on. Let's do it.
We have snow capped mountains up ahead.
So we're already making progress on the horses. Last night we slept in the town of Bokonbayevo (Бөкөнбаев) and my horse of course wants to eat.
So yeah, we just wandered around the town had a very relaxed afternoon and then this morning our guide came to pick us up and we are beginning the horse trek. We're on the south side of Issyk Kul Lake and last time we did Song Köl (Соңкөл) and we mostly hung around the north side of Issyk-Kol Lake (Иссык-Куль) as well so we'll be seeing a new part of the country.
So before lunch we're going to give you a quick tour of the camp. So basically we've arrived at someone's home. We're going to be staying in the yurt and we also have some outhouses over here.
It is lunchtime and we have a wonderful spread of food here. Yeah. Let's take a little tour. So we have the typical kind of an appetizer or even a dessert which is bread. And various kinds of jams. Jams, butter, creams. It looks like we have maybe a raspberry jam and apricot jam.
It looks wonderful and we have meat over here. Yes. Chai, yes.
Sam learned the word for thank you. The Kyrgyz word for thank you. rahmat saga (рахмат сага).
But what I love about Kyrgyz hospitality it is just that you always when you're invited into someone's home you get this wonderful spread of food. They are so generous. They always prepare more food than you could ever eat. And also your cup of tea is never empty. It is always being refilled.
Time for the grand tour. Time for a tour of our first yurt. So this is pretty cool. 1st yurt of this trip. We've slept in
yurts before. Yes. But seriously they pile so many mattresses and blankets there is no way this is by far the fanciest yurt we've ever been in because normally we've just slept on the ground.
now we're going hiking. Yeah, that is mountain life for you. Yeah. You have to be dressed for all kinds of weather and prepared for just about everything because one minute you're getting a hail storm and next minute it is beautiful for hiking. Yeah, and we've got a dog joining us.
we had a really nice dinner which we didn't film. Uh, that was pilaf or plov which is rice. Rice mixed with meat and other vegetables. And carrots. Carrots. Delicious.
And now there is a kökbörü match that is our favorite sport in Kyrgyzstan so we're going to go watch.
We are having a picnic. So we stopped by a little lake up on the mountainside. We have snow capped mountains right in front of us and we're going to have a nice little lunch with our dog friend.
Well good morning. It is the start of day three. We just finished having breakfast. We had some semolina with milk and some bread and tea. And now we're getting the horses all saddled up and I think we're riding into town. This is the final day so I believe we've got about four hours ahead of us and then the trek will be over.

Kyrgyzstan Food | Eating our favorite Kyrgyz cuisine in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan travel food transcript:
Alright, hello hello guys. We are back in Bishkek (Бишке́к) and today is actually our last day in Kyrgyzstan (Киргизия) and we can't leave the country without making a Kyrgyz food video.
So where are we off to? Let's see if you remember the name. I've been calling it the wrong thing probably like 10 times in a row.
We are off to Arzu (Арзу). Arzu!
But anyways um a few of the dishes have arrived. And we got some Borsok (боорсок) and these are little fried pieces of dough that are fried in oil and we had these a lot when we were doing our treks and staying in yurt camps.
Next up one of the appetizers we got is Samsa (самса) and before I talk about this I have to say I'm slightly sad because I had a big dream of having. A food dream. A food dream I had a big dream of having pumpkin manti (мантуу) which is like the Kyrgyz kind of dumplings.
And to wash it all down because it is really hot outside and just because well I like the local beer here. I've got some Arpa and let's give that a try.
So our two mains are here. And if you take a look I ordered the Laghman (лағмон) and I've been having a lot of Lagman (лағмон) since we've been here in Kyrgyzstan but usually in soup form. You can get like noodles with broth and this time around I ordered the fried version.
And now time for your main. Yeah, so I'm having Plov (палоо) or sometimes it is also called Pilaf (палоо) and this is probably one of the most common foods found throughout Central Asia. Like you will find Plov in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan. Basically in this whole region it is very popular and every country has their own unique twist to it.
Like if you're having the next thing that we're getting we're getting Shashlik (шашлы́к). The skewered meat. So this is a perfect compliment for something like that.
And the star of the show has arrived. Alright, so this is the last one. We ordered Shashlyk (шашлы́к) which is a skewered meat.
And we got the lamb. Ooh.
And it came covered in onions and dill.
And when I thought about coming back to Kyrgyzstan the one must food that I had to have again was the Shashlyk. That is my favorite food in Kyrgyzstan for sure.
Anyways, on to that time price point. So that came to 930 Som which currently is just over $13 US dollars. Like pretty insane value. So this is like a popular restaurant. It is a bit fancier here but still it was really affordable.
I highly highly recommend Arzu (Арзу). The food is fantastic, the prices are just right and the service is great. So definitely come here if you're in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan (Кыргызстан).
This is part of our Travel in Kyrgyzstan video series showcasing Kyrgyz food, Kyrgyz culture and Kyrgyz cuisine.
Yurt Tour in Kyrgyzstan by Issyk-Kul Lake
Come join us for a yurt tour in Kyrgyzstan by Issyk-Kul Lake as we stay overnight in Kyrgyz yurt at Bel Tam Yurt Camp located on the outskirts of Bokonbayevo. When traveling to Kyrgyzstan one of the ultimate experiences you can have as an adventure traveler is to experience living in a yurt. You'll have an opportunity to do this on overnight trekking or hiking experiences in Kyrgyzstan but you also can experience an overnight stay in Kyrgyz yurt at a camp.
This particular yurt camp was our home for four nights as we used it as a base to explore in and around Issyk Kul Lake and attractions nearby Bokonbayevo. Our yurt tour gives you a tour of inside of our yurt, the camp area, the showers and toilets at the yurt camp, the dining communal area and several overhead drone shots of the yurts. We highly recommend yurt camping and the place we stayed at was fantastic. You'll notice the location below:

Yurt Tour in Kyrgyzstan by Issyk-Kul Lake Travel Video Transcript:
Well hello hello from Kyrgyzstan. You guys have probably gotten used to our hotel room tours around the world but this time around we're staying at a yurt camp and if you've been watching our Kyrgyzstan videos you may have gotten a few glimpses of our yurt but we're going to be showing you the whole complex.
So right now we're staying at the Bel Tam Yurt Camp and we're on the shores of Issyk-Kul Lake and we're just outside of Bokonbayevo. That is the name of the town. So now that you know where we are let's actually go inside the yurt. Come along.
And we are what?
We are the mountain goat. There are no numbers for the yurts just cool drawings. So we got the mountain goat at the very end of the property so come on in.
These wooden doors that we close at night. So two sets of doors and now come on in. There is no electricity in here so it is a little bit dark but follow me.
So this is it. You are inside our yurt and technically this yurt sleeps three people but it is just the two of us in here. Although our suitcases have exploded so it looks really messy and we've actually taken over the three beds.
So if you take a look at the ground it is basically carpets. So they've put down a sheet of plastic so that we're not like trailing in sand and dirt. Yeah.
And that it is just a whole bunch of carpets on top. That plastic is right there. Yeah.
And then for our beds we have mattresses. Yes. With lots duvets but we have slept in yurts where you don't get a mattress it is just like blankets and mats. Yep. So this is pretty comfortable. No, this is really nice.
Yeah, it is really nice to have a mattress like this. And I just love how colorful it is. I know. It is wonderful. Like check it out.
Look at even up top here. It is so cool. Yeah.
And I don't know if you've mentioned this but we've been getting the best sleeps here. Oh my gosh yes. So like I mentioned there is no electricity we just have a few candles that we light at night. Yeah.
So that means we get to bed. Show the other one that has all of the wax. That has the melted wax. The wax is running off. Look at that.
So we've been laying that at night. Yeah, and then as soon as we're ready to sleep we blow it out and it is basically pitch black until the morning but the nice thing is that we're here in June meaning that like it is light out by five in the morning. Yes.
And it stays light out until eight or eight thirty at night?
So alright and as you may have noticed there is no toilet in here so we're going to give you a tour of the rest of the camp so follow me out.
Alright, so before we take you to the bathrooms we're actually going to show you the dining yurt because that is on the way.
And that is an even bigger yurt and everyone gathers here for breakfast, lunch and dinner and we all eat together.
And but I would really recommend it if you're coming all the way to Kyrgyzstan you need to stay in a yurt.
This is part of our Travel in Kyrgyzstan video series showcasing Kyrgyz food, Kyrgyz culture and Kyrgyz cuisine.
From Burana Tower to Almaluu Yurt Camp - Kyrgyzstan 4K Travel Channel
After leaving Burana Tower, we drive back to the city of Tokmok and turn east. We follow the course of the Chu river. The valley is fertile and gets enough water by the river for the irrigation. The Chu river flows to Kazakhstan and seeps there into the steppe. Here it forms the border with Kazakhstan. There are also places where the border crosses the river and the road passes through the territory of Kazakhstan. These areas are then declared as transit zones.
Our journey leads upstream the Chu river and through a mighty valley to the Kyrgyz mountains. It is one of the biggest valleys is Kyrgyzstan. Besides the river and the highway, a railroad line also runs through the valley. We are pleased with the good condition of the street. But, drivers must always be prepared to be stopped by a police control.
The valley widens again and opens the view onto the Tian Shan with its snow-capped peaks. We leave the Chu river and make a short stop in the town of Balykchy to refuel. Then we drive to the south side of Issyk-Kul Lake. The Issyk-Kul is the second largest mountain lake on Earth and is located at 1607 m above sea level. On this evening, we can catch only a quick look at it.
We pass a series of villages that stretch along roads. They remind very much of Russian villages. In open terrain, you see more and more the desert-like sections, partly as rocky mountain foothills. More frequently we see yurts in the landscape.
Towards evening, also the cattle from the pasture is on the way home.
It is already dark when we reach the Almaluu Yurt Camp. The nice hosts serve us a wonderful dinner in the yurt.

Nachdem wir den Burana-Turm verlassen haben, fahren wir zurück zur Stadt Tokmok und biegen ab nach Osten. Wir folgen dem Flusslauf des Tschüi. Das Tal ist fruchtbar und erhält durch den Fluss genügend Wasser für die Bewässerung. Der Tschüi fließt weiter nach Kasachstan und versickert dort in der Steppe. Hier bildet er die Grenze zu Kasachstan. Es gibt hier auch Stellen, an denen die Grenze über den Fluss herüberreicht und die Straße durch das Hoheitsgebiet von Kasachstan führt. Diese Bereiche sind dann als Transitzonen deklariert.
Unsere Reise führt den Tschüi flussaufwärts und durch ein mächtiges Tal in das Kirgisische Gebirge. Es ist eines der größten Täler Kirgisistan. Neben dem Fluss und der Autobahn führt auch eine Bahnlinie durch das Tal. Wir freuen uns über den guten Zustand der Straße. Autofahrer müssen aber stets darauf gefasst sein, dass sie durch eine Polizeikontrolle gestoppt werden.
Als das Tal sich wieder öffnet, gibt es den Blick frei auf das Tian Shan mit seinen schneebedeckten Gipfeln. Wir verlassen den Tschüi und machen in der Stadt Balyktschy einen kurzen Stopp um zu tanken. Danach fahren wir an die Südseite des Yssykköl Sees. Der Yssykköl ist der zweitgrößte Gebirgssee der Erde und liegt auf 1607 m über dem Meeresspiegel. An diesem Abend können wir nur einen kurzen Blick auf ihn erhaschen.
Wir passieren eine Reihe Dörfer, die sich entlang von Straßen erstrecken. Sie erinnern recht stark an russische Dörfer. Im freien Gelände nehmen die wüstenartigen Abschnitte, teil als felsige Gebirgsausläufer zu. Immer häufiger sind Jurten in der Landschaft erkennbar.
Gegen Abend ist auch das Vieh von der Weide auf dem Heimweg.
In der Dunkelheit erreichen wir unser Camp und bekommen von den netten Gastgebern ein herrliches Abendessen in einer Jurte serviert.

Cholpon-Ata - The Mirror (Timelapse)
When I arrived in Cholpon-Ata, everyone was gone.
Gone were the Soviet holidaymakers from decades past, gone were the tourists from yesterday. There was a heavy wind, and I leaned against it while I was stumbling down the main road. Much to my surprise, I managed to find a place to sleep. Again, I was the only guest. At night I used my sleeping bag and two blankets to keep warm. It was only October, but there was a wintry cold that came creeping down from the mountains.
I stayed in Cholpon-Ata for a week. I looked at old rocks with rock carvings on them. I climbed some of the hills to look at the cold mountains. I played with a cat and bought some sausage for it. Then the cat was gone and I ended up feeding all of the sausage to some mean dogs on the way. They looked very ill-tempered, and I wanted to be their friend. Especially so since I had to cross their way every night when I came back from my favorite spot: the mirror.
The mirror was actually a small lake next to Issyk-Kul. I liked to think of it as a mirror, because it was so calm and so clear you could see the sky twice. And the clouds. And the stars. I stayed next to the mirror for hours, and I wasn't alone. There were two little animals building something there. I figured they were beavers, and I realized that my presence annoyed the hell out of them. But after a while they apparently got bored of me and just decided to go on with their business. They would even come over to inspect my camera equipment. Rob and Bob we should call them, said the owner of the hostel where I was staying. Rob and Bob, the gay beaver couple.
And there was Hogan. I called him Hogan because he was very big. He would wait until I was almost asleep, then come leaping out of the mirror and into the clear air of the day, and then go splashing back down with a mighty sound. Hogan was a perfect showman. Or rather, a showfish.
And there were the crows. Every evening precisely at sunset they would come in the thousands, and they would sit it the highest branches of the tallest trees. The sun would go down and turn the sky pink and purple for a few minutes, and then, when darkness had just begun to sink in, they would leave for a different place.
I wondered if the crows came just to look at the sunset.
One time I ran into an old guy at the beach of lake Issyk-Kul. He had been to East Germany in the 70s, as a soldier. It was also the place where he saw his very first porn magazine. He laughed and told me about the time he went swimming in the Baltic Sea. It turned out there were myriads of jellyfish in the water, and he never went swimming there again.
Then he said: Everything used to be better back then!
When?
In Soviet times of course!
Back then, he said, there was no trash anywhere. You would buy milk in a glass bottle and then take the bottle back if you wanted more milk. Life was simple, the beach was clean, and the state paid for your holiday. Today, everything cost money! Back then, there were no rich people!
Are rich people bad? I wanted to know.
He looked at me, then made a gesture that encompassed everything around us: What is it all for? They eat different bread and drink different tea. But what for?
Then he left, his silhouette becoming smaller and smaller in the distance.
I heard a seagull cawing. I saw a plastic bag floating in the lake. The water was gently playing with the plastic bag, reminding me of a jellyfish.

Jeti-Oguz - Seven Cows (Timelapse)
I had heard about a certain sanatorium from the Soviet era. Its name Jeti-Oguz was supposed to mean seven cows, and it was located somewhere in the mountains south of Issyk Kul. I like cows, so I decided to walk there. Walking was still hard. At night I stayed in a small room in the back of a restaurant and slept like a rock. The next morning I went on with my quest, until at some point there was this guy with a shovel and a car who told me that he would kindly take me up to the sanatorium. I got in and we started talking about gas prices and the economic situation. He had been digging up roots in a field, that's what the shovel was for. I ended up paying for the ride.
Upon arrival at Jeti-Oguz, I ran into a German couple and we started drinking. After the first bottle, we were joined by a Kyrgyz guy who could really put them away. It was perfect until at some point I decided to play with a bunch of dogs outside and they ended up stealing my hat. I found it the next day, torn up and dirty. Someone had put it on a fence so that the dogs would leave it alone. I washed it and put it back on. I only had one hat.
Jeti-Oguz was more beautiful than I had expected. There was a small hamlet and a river there. The seven cows consisted of a bunch of red hills that looked like cattle if you really wanted them to. The sanatorium lay dormant in the valley, very big and very empty, a crumbling testament to a fallen empire. When I walked down its corridors and heard my own echo, I found myself picturing what it must have been like half a century before.
Nighttime was the best time. Every evening after ten p.m., when the sheep and the horses had returned from the pastures and the lights went out one by one, you could see the milky way appearing up in the sky, turning ever so slowly, so huge that it was beyond anything imaginable.
It felt almost unreal.

Cholpon-Ata - Kyrgyzstan 4K Travel Channel
Two and a half hours after our departure from Jyrgalan we reach the 180 km remote Cholpon-Ata. We start our discovery tour with a visit to the multifunctional open-air museum Ruh Ordo. Each of the five chapels on the site symbolizes a religion: Islam, Catholic, Christian Orthodox, Buddhism, and Judaism. These are supposed to stand for peace and remind that all religions have one God.
The complex is dedicated to the world-famous Kyrgyz writer Chinghiz Aitmatov. Besides his novel characters, a lot of nicely designed sculptures adorn the lawns between various halls. They represent real as well as mythical persons. In addition, many objects of Kyrgyz culture are on display. Aitmatov lifelong advocated a peace-loving nature-loving culture. You can see his work in one of the halls.
On the shore is a footbridge with four platforms, symbolizing four seasons and the four directions of a compass.
But there is also a hall that is beyond our understanding. It has a large empty pool inside. In the evening the area is beautifully illuminated. It is also a venue for concerts and events. The well maintained open-air museum Ruh Ordo conveys artistic charm.
After our tour, we drive one bathing beach near and start a sightseeing flight with the drone at the western shore of the bay.
Beside the center with the open air museum Ruh Ordo we can recognize the stadium of the World Nomad Games.
Marvelous beaches and dune landscapes wind along the shore of the Issyk-Kul. The beautiful color shades of the water near the shore appear almost like a painting. Everywhere is vibrant life and some beach visitors let themselves be pulled into the air by motor boats with parachutes.
Another highlight in Cholpon-Ata are the numerous fields of petroglyphs that stretch between the village and the mountains.

Zweieinhalb Stunden nach unserer Abfahrt aus Jyrgalan erreichen wir das 180km entfernte Cholpon-Ata. Wir beginnen unsere Entdeckungtour mit einem Besuch des multifunktionalen Freilichtmuseums Ruh Ordo.
Auf dem Gelände wurden fünf Kapellen errichtet, von denen jede eine Religion symbolisiert: Islam, Katholisch, Christlich Orthodox, Buddhismus und
Judentum. Diese sollen für den Frieden stehen und andeuten, dass alle Religionen nur einen gemeinsamen Gott haben.
Die Anlage steht im Zeichen des weltbekannten kirgisischen Schriftstellers Tschingis Aitmatow. Neben seinen Romanfiguren schmücken eine Unzahl schön gestalteter Skulpturen von echten und von mythischen Personen die Rasenflächen zwischen diversen Hallen. Daneben werden eine Unzahl Gegenstände der kirgisischen Kultur gezeigt. Aitmatow ist lebenslang für eine friedensliebende naturverbundene Kultur eingetreten. Eine der Hallen ist seinem Werk gewidmet.
Am Ufer wurde ein Steg mit 4 Plattformen gebaut, die die 4 Jahreszeiten und die 4 Richtungen eines Kompass symbolisieren.
Es gibt aber auch eine Halle die sich unserem Verständnis entzieht. In ihr ist ein großer leerer Pool. Abends ist das Gelände schön illuminiert. Es wird aber auch als Konzert und Veranstaltungsgelände genutzt. Die gesamte Anlage vermittelt künstlerischen Charme und ist sehr gepflegt.
Nach unserem Rundgang fahren wir zum westlichen Ufer der Bucht nahe eines Badestrandes und starten mit der Drohne einen Rundflug.
Neben dem Zentrum mit dem Freilichtmuseum Ruh Ordo können wir auch das Stadion der World Nomad Games sehr gut erkennen.
Herrliche Badestrände und Dünenlandschaften schlängeln sich am Ufer des Yssyköl entlang. Herrlich, fast schon gemalt erscheinen die Farbschattierungen des Wasser in Ufernähe. Überall herrscht reges leben und manche Strandbesucher lassen sich von Motorbooten mit Fallschirmen in die Luft ziehen.

Spore part 1 :
Spore is rated E 10+
esrb.org:
per wikipedia:
Spore is a 2008 life simulation, real-time strategy single-player god game developed by Maxis and designed by Will Wright, released for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Covering many genres including action, real-time strategy, and role-playing games (RPG), Spore allows a player to control the development of a species from its beginnings as a microscopic organism, through development as an intelligent and social creature, to interstellar exploration as a spacefaring culture. It has drawn wide attention for its massive scope, and its use of open-ended gameplay and procedural generation. Throughout each stage, players are able to use various creators to produce content for their games. These are then automatically uploaded to the online Sporepedia and are accessible by other players for download.
Spore was released after several delays to generally favorable reviews. Praise was given for the fact that the game allowed players to create customized creatures, vehicles and buildings. However, Spore was criticized for its gameplay which was seen as shallow by many reviewers; GameSpot remarked: Individual gameplay elements are extremely simple.
