Jailoo Karkyra and sunset on Issyk-Kul. Photos and videos from 24.kg readers

We create the ‘Moments of Life’ section with the help of our authors — 24.kg readers who love to travel around Kyrgyzstan, take photos or shoot videos. Today, we’ll take a short walk through Chuy region, then head to Issyk-Kul, from where we’ll reach the southern beauties of the republic.

Together with Dilyara Almeeva, we’ll go to the Ak-Suu gorge. As she wrote, the photos were taken during a trip to the peak named after Vladimir Putin.

Now let’s head to Issyk-Kul. The road there goes through the well-known Boom gorge. Photos there were taken by Ilya Shipulin (Instagram page — @progorushki).

A short video of a mountain river in the Barskoon gorge in July was made by Olzobay Jumagulov.

Let’s stay a bit longer on the southern shore of Issyk-Kul. Anastasia Shcherbakova saw it like this in July.

Let’s admire the sunset on the lake, which our regular author Sergei Khanov saw.

Now let’s go to the Issyk-Kul mountains — to jailoo Karkyra, where Gulchoro Baizakov visited.

“Kara-Kamysh Lake is a little paradise on earth. It and the rocks seem to hold a great history. There reigns a soothing silence. Mountain air, untouched nature — everything here breathes life and freedom. The Sary-Chelek State Biosphere Reserve is a fairy tale come to life,” wrote Manap kyz Aynura about her trip (Instagram page — @manapkyzy_ainur).

We’ll end our journey at jailoo Azhike in the Kara-Kuldzha district of Osh region. Taishtemir uulu Almaz visited there and made a video (Instagram page — jeep_travel_osh).
