Kyrgyzstan Transportation

From central Kyrgyzstan you can get here only by plane or a hired taxi

a few km east of tales is the supposed tomb of manas, a kyrgyz hero/legend. north west of the town you can enter the besh-tash (5 rocks) mountains. getting away from talas is a pain. you probably won't be able to find a bus going to bishkek through the mountain pass n the east, meaning you have to go through kazach territory, meaning you'll need a transit visa, which you can't obtain in talas...

Altynarasan is an excellent place for a rest after days of mountaineering with its hot water springs. Be warned not to stay too long in the strong and hot water or you may feel sick after a quarter of an hour. Down the valley there is a hot spring up on a cliff wall and there is an artificial bowl just big enough for two person under the spring. It's great to take a bath there in the open and the view with the stream and the pine trees ispicturesque. Altynarasan can be accessed from Karakol by jeep in good weather on horseback or by foot. The best is to pack your tent, hire a guide in Karakol and visit all the beautiful valleys South of Karakol. Good quality fresh food can be bought at Karakol market. Also keep in mind that you basically cannot buy trekking equippment in Karakol. If you need gas canisters you should get it in advance in Bishkek.
