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!
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!
Matsunoki is a cozy, clean and nicely designed hotel. I arrived at 5am in karakol and Yuka the owner warmly welcomed me. she prepare the breakfast and explained nearby facilities and sightseeing spots. The room was clean, hot shower was available, and the bed was super comfortable. I had a wonderful stay and will surely come back in case I visit karakol again.
Beautiful yurt stay in Karakol. The inside of the yurt was decorated in a lovely way, the beds were comfy and the blankets were warm as it can get chilli in the mountains. The facilities were all really new and clean. The hosts were generous, friendly and informative and the breakfast that you can purchase as an option delicious. You won't be disappointed!
The hotel is a very comfortable little nest only a few minutes from the center of Karakol. The couple who own the Bayotel are a lovely pair who will do everything they can to make your stay as pleasent as possible. I had such a wonderful hearty welcome when I arrived, one can only know that one will have a great stay. I have to say thank you very much.
The host family is very friendly and hospitable. The room is very nice with the great view of mountains from the window. The bathroom is very comfortable with good hot water pressure. The house is placed conviniantely in 10 minutes walk distance from the center of city. Really excellent place for stay if you travel to Karakol
am extraordinary hostel. a fantastic place to meet like-minded people to hit the trails with or relax at the end of a grueling hike.

The vibe, the comfort and how cozy the whole place is makes it a perfect place to stay in Karakol. Feels like home just as the name says. The host and owner, Nuraika is an extremely warm and hardworking person and really puts attention to detail.
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!
Very nice tiny hotel in the center of Karakol. Wooden design, nice breakfast, very friendly team. Owner and his family manage it very well. They also very helpful with different questions I had including excursions, city advice etc.
Absolutely can recommend staying here. I came back a few times. Good to meet other travelers, and explore Karakol. Nursultan and his wife are both super friendly and helpful! Facilities are good and price is unbeatable in Karakol.
The best hotel we visited during our trip to Kirgizstan. Karakol is very nice and pleasant city and the hotel corresponds with european standard of accommodation. Nice room, quality beds, excellent restaurant, helpful staff.
Very clean and conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood a short walk from the center. Room was warm, which is important as it’s getting cold outside. Best breakfast buffet I’ve had in Kyrgyzstan!
