It\u2019s located at over 1700 metres, next to the Tian Shan mountains and the Issyk-Kul Lake.

When we woke up on our first day it was rainy and gray. The streets were all muddy. The sky was so cloudy that we didn\u2019t even know that we were surrounded by majestic snow-capped mountains. But we liked Karakol already. The cute wooden houses with colorful doors and window frames. The cows and goats on the streets and the kids who yelled \u201dhello\u201d when they saw us.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-1795\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090525-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"A herd of cows is a typical sight on the streets of Karakol\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090525-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090525-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090525-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090525.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>A herd of cows is a typical sight on the streets of Karakol<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-1796\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090564-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful green and turquoise seemed to be the most popular colors in Karakol\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090564-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090564-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090564-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090564.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>Beautiful green and turquoise seemed to be the most popular colors in Karakol<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ashlan-Fu<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the highlights of our stay was the incredible Ashlan-Fu. Maybe you think it\u2019s funny that we ranked it so high, when we tell you that it\u2019s \u201djust\u201d a cold soup. But Central Asia is not exactly known for its vegetarian food&#8230; So we were delighted to find something this delicious here.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1880\u2019s the Dungan muslims fleed from China and many of them ended up in Karakol. They brought Ashlan-Fu with them. There are also non-vegetarian versions of this dish, but the base is vegetarian and oh so tasty. The soup is a perfect mix of sourness, saltiness and sweetness, topped with garlic, chili, chives and two types of noodles. The only thing we could \u201dcomplain\u201d about is that a hot soup would have fitted better for this weather. But luckily Ashlan-Fu is normally served with tea and warm, fresh\u00a0<em>pirogis<\/em>. The one filled with potato is a vegetarian\u2019s choise. In Karakol we were probably the first time in our lives feeling sorry for not having a hangover. We heard that Ashlan-Fu is the perfect hangover cure.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-1797\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090516-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The incredible Ashlan-Fu\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090516-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090516-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090516-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090516.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>The incredible Ashlan-Fu<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-1798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090520-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The gold-toothed lady behind our favourite Ashlan-Fu at the Small Bazaar\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090520-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090520-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090520-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090520.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>The gold-toothed lady behind our favourite Ashlan-Fu at the Small Bazaar<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many restaurants selling this delicious soup in the city.

There are numerous hot springs at the Karakol area. The easiest one to reach is the<strong> Ak-Suu Kench.<\/strong> You can get there in 30 minutes from Karakol by marshrutka # 350. There are two of these marshurtkas though \u2013 to get all the way to the hot spring, ask for \u201dKurort\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-1803\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090577-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"We took the wrong marshrutka and had to walk some time.

It was more like a spa with dressing rooms, showers and a restaurant. There were three pools connectet to each other with water temperatures ranging from \u201dboiled alive\u201d to \u201dhot\u201d and one little bit cooler pool. Floating in the hot pools in the beautiful mountain surroundings was just perfect. Two hours (which is totally enough) costed 200 com (2,6 Euro) each.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-1801\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090602-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"When we arrived, the pools were completely empty\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090602-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090602-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090602-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090602.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>When we arrived, the pools were completely empty<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-1802\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090586-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Seri being boiled alive\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090586-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090586-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090586-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/P1090586.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>Seri being boiled alive<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also did an overnight hike to another place famous for its hot spring, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/en\/2019\/10\/11\/altyn-arashan-mountains-yurts-hot-springs\/\"><strong>Altyn Arashan<\/strong><\/a>.
