The village of Kyzl Oi is located on the Bishkek – Osh highway. This highway connects the north and south of the country. This town is quite different from other towns in Kyrgyzstan. Unlike many others, Kyzl Oi has existed since before the great socialist revolution and therefore has characteristic Central Asian features such as red mud houses. Kyzyl-Oi is situated in the narrow gorge of the mighty Kokomeren River about 40km south of Suusamyr between Kochkor and Son-Kol Lake (Both in the Naryn region) and 200km from Bishkek. The elevation is 1,800 meters above sea level. Here the valley opens through the red mountains and is therefore called Kyzyl, which means red in Kyrgyz.

It is located 1,607 meters above sea level and in certain areas it reaches 668 meters deep.

Day 7. Bishkek. National Park – Ala Archa

In the morning we will visit one of the most famous and popular parks in the country, the Ala Archa national park. The park is an alpine nature reserve in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, established as a national park in 1976. The park includes the Ala-Archa River Gorge and the surrounding mountains. Its location and characteristics make it ideal for picnics, hiking, horseback riding, skiing, as well as other outdoor activities such as climbing with multiple levels of difficulty. In Kyrgyz, it is a colorful juniper that gives its name to the park. This dill has a special meaning for the Kyrgyz people since when its wood is burned, the smoke it produces, they say, drives away evil spirits. Although on the other hand the Archa, as this dill is called, according to tradition, should not be planted near a house since it will absorb the energy of those who live there.
