"Enilchek Ghost Town"

This is a unique and historic combined auto tour to the Enilchek Ghost Town, which was quite iportant industrial village for mining. Lost somewhere in Kyrgyz mountains this place will impress you with views and historical past of Soviet Union. 

At the same time you will have opportunity to enjoy amazing views of High Peaks, gravel roads of Chon Ashuu Pass and look at the power of Sary Jaz Mountain River. 

Day 1: Karakol city - Tyrgon valley - Chon Ashuu Pass - Enilchek Ghost town

After breakfast in Karakol we leave for the deserted town of Enilchek, located in the eastern part of Kyrgyzstan at an altitude of about 3000 meters above sea level. Our way to the first passes through the picturesque and pleasantly beautiful Turgon Gorge. Many travelers stop here to enjoy the majesty of the mountains and the pristine beauty of the gorge. Then we pass through Chon Ashuu, the height of which reaches 3800 meters above sea level, from the top of the pass you can see Constitution Peak and other snow-capped peaks in good weather. It is worth mentioning that even in summer it can snow here unexpectedly, as the pass is a kind of wall between two climatic zones. Then we descend to the Ottuk Gorge, where we have to present a border pass. After the paper formalities we drive to the abandoned town of Enilchek, which used to have a very high status in Soviet times and even had its own mini airport. Now, of course, it is hard to imagine, because everything is destroyed. After arriving at the local guesthouse we will have lunch and take a short walk through the abandoned buildings of this once industrial town lost deep in the Kyrgyz mountains. In the evening we return to the guesthouse for dinner.

Day 2: Enilchek ghost town - Natural Hot Springs - Karakol

Today we will take a short walk towards the Kaindy Gorge, and on our return we will bathe in the natural hot springs that flow from under the rock. The black clay has healing properties and the water itself relaxes and strengthens the immune system. It is worth noting that the spring disappears during the summer floods and reappears when the water level of the Sary Zhaz River drops. After the water procedures we return to Karakol through the Chon Ashuu Pass. The road is incredibly beautiful and deserted, so don't forget to charge your camera. Travel time 4-5 hours
