It is located few kilometres from Tosor village and contains yellow, orange or red sandstone formations of various shapes resembling fairy tale dragons, giants or castles. This particular formation is called the Chinese wall from obvious reason. The origin is mostly from wind and rain erosion. The orange shades are contrasting with occassional shrubs of several kinds like sea buckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides).

6.4/10 (6 reviews)
There was a dead mouse with flies and maggots in the first room given to me. Attention was lacking. They gave me another room and apologized. There was a live mouse in the next room. Careful with bringing groceries, but this is necessary as no dinner was available. The owner didn’t seem too interested ...

August 2013 Kaji Say, Issyk-kul Lake, Kyrgyzstan Issyk Kul is an endorheic (i.e. inflow only) lake in eastern Kyrgyzstan. It is the tenth largest lake in the world by volume (though not in surface area), and the second largest saline lake after the Caspian Sea and the second largest mountain lake after Titicaca. Although it is surrounded by snowy peaks, it never freezes hence its name, which means "hot lake" in the Kyrgyz language. It is some 180 km long and 60 km wide, up to 600 meters deep and located in altitude ca. 1.600 meters, very popular for recreation, mainly in resorts on its north shore. Kaji Say is on south shore and more calm and relaxed place. The mountains in picture are Terskey Alatau range of Northern Tian Shan. The lake has some 20 percent salinity compared to oceans. However an ocean for Kyrgyz for sure.

Kaji-Say

On the northern shore of Issyk-kul lake, in Krygyzstan. Not many people in March, but the view is always incredible!

Cholpon-Ata

It looks like nothing from the outside. And inside, I'd describe the rooms as 'pretty good'. But that's not why you stay here. Go to this random village near the banks of beautiful Issy-kul Lake and as soon as you meet your host Tamara, you'll understand why this is such a gem. She's fascinating, helpful, curious, kind and full of generosity and despite this being a quiet two road village, your stay here could very well be the highlight of your visit to Kyrgyzstan, as it was for me. #kyrgyzstan #silkroute #villagelife
