Karakol is a small, charming, village-like town located at the foot of the mountains. The views are spectacular, the air is tasty-fresh, the food is diverse and as organic as it gets; most importantly, people are open, welcoming, a little reserved at first, but ready to help once you approach them.
Infrastructure and buildings are decayed, but it only adds to the charm of the town if you are open to go through a little hardship here and there, especially if you are arriving from a megapolis.
Karakol offers a few interesting museums and galleries, but the main attraction is that it is an intermediary place to starting your journey exploring peaks, gorges, vallies, hot springs and all the other natural gems that Kyrgyzstan offers its guests. The town itself has very interesting history and a crazy mix of many ethnic groups (Kyrgyz, Ukrainian, Dungan, Russian, Korean, German, Uzbek, Uyghur, Tatar, etc). Find yourself a local friend (easier to do in Kyrgyzstan) and he/she will open up doors to many other amazing sides of Karakol.

You can easily stay one week or longer in this destination.
You can easily stay one week or longer in this destination. There is everything you may expect from Kyrgyzstan: lake Issyk Kul just a few Km from Karakol, amazing mountains with lost od different treks: one-day or multiple-day. I suggest to definitely climb to Ala Kol lake, visit Teleti valley or go up to the pass, immerse in hot springs in Altyn Arashan, or if you need a modern structure go to Ak-Suu thermal pools. Jeti-Ögüz is a 100% must see, or go to Jargalan valley and admire dozens of semi-wild horses, rent one of them and enjoy the view to the world from horseback. Buy some local hand-made products e.g. shirdak carpets, taste awesome local cuisine (esp. lamb, plov or manty) and don't miss local market in Karakol, wooden Holy Trinity Cathedral, unusual architecture of Dungan mosque or Sunday animal market in the town suburbs.

Karakol has a lot to offer about the beautiful nature,but government should start to develop the infrastructure for this city more.,should install street light in all street,cuz traveler are coming more and more to Kyrgistan.If tourist feel safe enough even during the night the business in town will get more income from tourist .And the street should be upgraded .

We stayed in Karakol for 2 nights - before and after our hike to Ala Kol lake. I would recommend bringing camping gear from your home country as the shops in Karakol aren't great. There are companies though that you can rent tents, cooking gear etc. if you prefer. Karakol has few cafes and restaurants (we tried Cat Cafe and Meeting Point) aimed for overseas travelers but also places to try local culinary (unfortunately the highly recommended place was closed for Eid).

The lovely reception and treatment by the hostess exceeded our expectations. Her hospitality and ever-ready willingness to help us out with any query or arrangement made our stay here the best stay that we had in Kyrgyzstan. Thank you for having us!

The town is very flat and was not what we expected.
The town is very flat and was not what we expected. It had all the things we needed (restaurants, convenience stores, petrol stations) and was easy to get around. The museum was well worth the visit. The cathedral we only saw the garden and outside. It was a lovely unique piece of architecture. The real attractions are the mountain passes and valleys.
One of the most beautiful hostels I have ever stayed! A cross between a hostel and bed and breakfast! The first floor shared areas are decorated in a luxurious ranch style with leather sofas, rugs on hardwood floors, and sturdy hardwood tables. The rooms are equally cozy and the entire facility is immaculate, bathrooms included.
The host Andre has lived in Kyrgyzstan for years and has a wealth of knowledge about hiking, skiing and the area generally. The facilities are truly beautiful, clean and the breakfast was wonderful!
Very nice stay at this family hotel, the restaurant has a very nice and large food panel, the breakfast is consistant and the location is perfekt, on the main road to the mountain resort, and about 15 min in taxi to the beach at Issyk-Kul lake, the supermarket Globus is about 10 min walk as well as some nice restaurant and food court.
The family was us a great help during the stay, taxi reservation, late restauration, big thanks to you and hopefully we ll have the opportunity to come back to this amazing place!
The property is managed by 2 sisters who are very helpful in any way. They allowed our luggage to be stored in the reception for 2 nights while we trek in Altyn-Arashan. 🙏🏻
The property is very clean and well maintained. The atmosphere of the property is very calm and so we can sleep for more than 8 hrs. straight.
The kitchen has anything you need. It is close to everything in Karakol - shops, restaurants and nearby attractions.
Now this was a special experience: it started by my pack being cleaned by the staff in order not to bring dirt into the place. Staff was extremely friendly to help with about anything (organizing a PCR test, showing us the way to places, etc). The Japanese owners integrated Japanese architecture and style into the building. Best Breakfast we had in Kyrgistan. Thats the place to be in Karakol.
I had a great stay at Duet. The place is spotlessly clean, the dorms are comfy and so are the yurts. The food is amazing ( try the glorious beef strogonov) and the staff do their very best to make you love the place. They have a very informative folder with local attractions and hints on how to get around the area. This is absolutely THE place to stay on Karakol.
We stayed as several families and our kids liked the hotel as much as we did. Elya (the host) was very kind and assisting. They serve only breakfast, but this room can be also used for dinners if you cook by your self or order food from restaurants. We took some wine with us and had good time in the hotel, just like home.
We spent quite a few nights in diferent rooms and in the yurt. We loved the time we spent in Arthouse, the place is great, rooms, kitchen and bathoroom are nice and spotless. Family are very nice and welcoming, they will help you with everything you need. Best place in Karakol for sure.
Modern and comfortable apartment in a central location with great views and it has everything you need. Excellent communication with the owner before and throughout the stay, he was always ready to help. Would definitely recommend staying here for those visiting Karakol.
Very cosy apartment right in the centre of Karakol. You'll have all the needed facilities that you might need during your stay. You'll receive convenient instructions of how to find the location and how to use facilities in the flat.
The hotel is really excellent. Shahiza and her family are making a good effort to feel like home. Rooms are specious and comfortable.
Breakfast is on a buffet, offers good variety and espresso coffee for the espresso lovers :)
The location was good, we used the hotel as our base for exploring the north and south sides of Issy-Kol lake. There were also good restaurants nearby, and the shop next door was very convenient. The breakfast was good also.
I would like to thank the hotel staff for making my stay amazing. The staff was very polite and welcoming! The room was very clean and neat. I loved the breakfast very much. Definitely I'm coming back to Muras hotel.
Centrally Located, Clean and Comfortable Hostel. Kitchen, Shower and Toilet facilities are top notch. Very friendly and helpful staff, great place to stay in Karakol, 100% Recommended
The hotel is super clean, the room was spacious, the bed was comfortable. Breakfast has a good variety. Staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this hotel when in Karakol.
I absolutely loved this little guesthouse in Karakol. Great location and the price can’t be beat. The owner was very helpful in offering advice on trekking in the region.
Great little cabins in the National Park above Karakol. Very nice to go for hikes and rides from here. For Kyrgyz standards this is very clean and has modern furniture.
