Очень красиво, людей почти нет. Во второй день шёл дождь, часть маршрута пришлось сократить.

Three days in a biosphere reserve: seven mountain lakes, a boat on Sary-Chelek and hiking trails through spruce forests and walnut groves.
Sary-Chelek is one of the most beautiful lakes in Kyrgyzstan, but few people make it here. The road runs through the gorges and villages of the Aksy district, and in the reserve we are met by silence, spruce-covered slopes and deep blue water. Over three days we walk the trail along the chain of lakes, take a boat out on the main lake and climb to a viewpoint above Kyla-Kol. We stay at a guesthouse in Arkyt village, right at the edge of the reserve. Moderate difficulty: 4–5 hours of walking a day with moderate climbs.

Remote and incredibly peaceful. The boat ride on the main lake was the highlight. Guest house in Arkyt was clean and the hosts very kind.
