Itinerary
Day 1: Osh — Sary-Chelek
Departure from Osh early at 7 am. Six to seven hours of driving through the landscapes of the Fergana Valley with a brunch in Jalalabad. A late afternoon arrival in the Arkit village and a brief coffee break at the guesthouse. Free time to relax or walk the surrounding areas. Dinner and rest at the guesthouse.
Day 2: Sary-Chelek Biosphere Reserve
Departure to the lake by car. Remember not to nap in the car, as the picturesque views start immediately. But the real magic begins upon arrival at the lake. Thank nature for the landslide that caused this scenery: a perfect harmony of the mountains, lake, and sounds. Take your time to enjoy the beauty of the lake, find inner harmony in the wilderness, use your chance to see the animals of the surroundings, and have lunch at the lake’s shore. After your wonderful time with Mother Nature, head back to the guesthouse for an overnight.
Day 3: Arkit — Osh
Enjoy your breakfast, commit your memories, and head back to Osh. Optionally, you can stop in Uzgen to visit the Islamic Architecture of the XI-XII centuries.
This is a standard program. It can be tailored to your preferences and needs. As an option, you can consider a 4-day trek around the lakes, or 2-4 day horseback treks. Message us for details.
