Amazing Secret Hot Springs | Kyrgyzstan Travel Vlog
Another new travel vlog from Kyrgyzstan with some hiking and an amazing secret hot springs. Today is the end of my first 3 day trek here in Kyrgyzstan. I had such an amazing time on the hike, and the landscapes here are just unreal. But, by the end of my trip I was exhausted and all my batteries - physically and camera - needed charging. I was looking forward to getting home and having a shower. But, my guide found me one better. He took me to these amazing secret hot springs. There's a pretty touristic hot springs near where we ended our trek in Arashan, but he knew of a secret one that he wanted to take me too. So, even though we were tired we decided to hike another couple kms to get to this spot he knew. And, man, was it ever worth it. It was the perfect way to end the trip. A secret hot springs along a river in one of the most beautiful gorges in the world. Kyrgyzstan just continues to blow my mind on a daily basis. In the afternoon, we drove this crazy road back from Arashan to Karakol where I got the rest of the day off. Tomorrow I already start some more Hiking in Kyrgyzstan so I'm looking forward to getting a bit recharged and re-energized. There's also an important note about hiking in Kyrgyzstan in this video. So, if you're interested in doing some trekking here, be sure to watch to the end. There's another travel vlog from Kyrgyzstan tomorrow, so stay tuned!
