Itinerary

Departure from Osh early at 7 am. Six-seven hours of drive through the landscapes of 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 overnight.
