25 km east of Karakol there is little village of Jeti Oghuz. It is famous for the scenery. Even the presidents of the states are coming here to enjoy the views of unusual red rock formations. In the middle of the day from Karakol bus station minibus (called here “marshrutka”) will take you there for half a dollar. Ask for “Jeti Oghuz Kurort” – there are other cars going only to the village.
I left my backpack for free in the shop and walked uphill to enjoy the scenery. There are 7 big rock formations forming the line – “seven bulls”. If you will go down and try to see the last two rock from the opposite side you will see like the heart broken into two parts – so it is!…
But how to get of the place? Almost every car in this country work like a unoffical taxi. They will stop. But this is not hitchhiking – they expect money! Ask before local people for the rate and pay – some drivers want to charge from foreigners more!…
