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 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!
Janyl, the owner was amazing. She is very helpful and was able to advise us on what to do in the area, where to eat and booked us taxis when necessary.
The rooms are large and clean and fantastic value for money. The guesthouse is near (1 min walk) à great restaurant: Lighthouse and a 7 min walk to the "Meeting Point" a cafe where it's easy to meet with other travellers/hikers.
We will definitely return here next time we're in Karakol and I highly recommend it!
The family is lovely and helpful and each one of them is friendly 💜💜 its location near the city center, the room is clean, comfortable and quite, with a balcony and a clean private bathroom, and warm water, there were warm, clean, good blankets and covers, also they help us in our questions during our visit to Karakol 😁💜💜 if we came to Karakol in future with our friends we will choose for sure this sweet Janat family guesthouse 🥰😍🌷🌷.
Very lovely place with helpful staff. People come to Karakol for trekking in the nature, therefore the staff have very good connections with trekking organizations, transporters and ... so everybody can arrange a good hike with their help. they can arrange transport to Karakol valley and reserve Yurt if you want to do the Ala-Kul trekking. Rooms and kitchen facilities are good. Located in a good, safe and calm place.
This property was well located, with restaurants, cafes and interesting sites all within walking distance. We loved our hosts Sergei, Ljuba and Bella, who made us feel very welcome - and with a bit of Google Translate to help us with our Russian, they made us feel totally at home. Our room with private bathroom was quirky, comfortable and clean, and perfect for our needs while visiting Karakol.
The location is amazing, it's nearby everywhere ( bus station, market..).
The staff was super nice and friendly, they offered us tea when we arrived, and helped us to arrange our next trip.
The room was bery clean and huge , the bed is very comfy and I like the table which is made from real wood.
For sure I'll come again to this hotel without any hesitation.
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.
Yuka-san's place is absolutely gorgeous, cosy, and very clean. The breakfast included is delicious, and the general attention to details stands out.
There is also parking bearby and the location is very convenient.
Absolutely recommend if you are thinking of staying in Karakol!
The hosts are super nice! We forgot our mobile charger at their hotel and they organized that it was transported to us in Bishkek (free of charge). That was so nice! Thanks again! The rooms are modern and spotless clean. Inside parking is available.
Cozy B&B with very friendly staff. Very comfortable beds and delicious breakfast every morning! Beautiful garden out front and next to a river. Very relaxing place to stay before or after hiking in the mountains, or just to visit Karakol!
One of the best stays of my travels.Amazing and most gracious host. Comfortable room and very tasty breakfast. Common kitchen fully equiped. Excellent stay strongly recommend the hotel to people visiting Karakol
Great and lively location where many backpackers will stay before or after their hikes around karakol. we had a private room which was good . furthermore food and drinks were good
highly recommend to stay here.
Great social option in Karakol, suitable for all ages. Lot of space, nice big yard and chill out area, the place is clean and well run.
Easy to meet other people to go hike with.
Would stay again.
