Mountain lakes as Son-Kul, Sary-Chelek and Kel-Suu are also expecting brave adventurers, who travel to them by car, by feet or on a horse. Mountain passes and rivers are still keeping the warmth of summer and available for rafting and trekking adventurers.
At Chui valley you can enjoy paragliding activities or set a camp somewhere in mountainous valleys to enjoy wild nature. Many forests and groves are full of life, animals are actively preparing for oncoming winter and making stocks for cold times, actively harvesting fruits, nuts and potherbs. Fall is a great season to get closer with many animals of Kyrgyzstan, enjoy the majestic flight of an Asian eagle in the blue sky, notice tiny gold-eyed ginger fox, hiding in the bushes or see amusing marmot, standing tall in steppes, staring for enemies and troubles coming.
