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.
A beautiful guest house with a great ambience in the garden and everything you need. The owner speaks very good english, a rarity in Kyrgyzstan. He shows also many peculiarities of the Kyrgyz culture and history and also helps with all other matters.
The owner also guide us on a 3 day tour to Ala Kul and was always concerned about our safety in the mountains and share a lot of information around.
Best guide we have ever had! 🙂
Many greetings from Germany to Karakol
Nurdin is the kindest and most welcoming man I have met in Kyrgyzstan. He speaks great English and was super helpful in planning my time in Karakol. His family are so sweet and offered me lots of food during my stay. Room was clean and comfortable. Great value for money. And location is nice - near a park, and also near a regular bus stop to take you to the centre if you don't feel like walking. Overall had a great stay here. Thanks so much Nurdin and family!
We stayed at about 20 accommodations, including some apts, during our 6-week travel n Central Asia and Georgia. This was the BEST host! Check-in instructions were in detail with a video. Every question we had, even those unrelated to the apt, was immediately answered via WhatsApp. The kitchen was best equipped, including a dishwasher. The views of the mountains were fantastic! We loved Karakol and plan to stay here again when we return next year .
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.
Menue, location of hotel, views from windows, design of the place and european level of service in general. Best place I've stayed in Kyrgyzstan.
Especially owners and guys on the kitchen and in Sierra caffe are awesome.Friendly, positive, open minded and with suggestions what you could do and where is good to go.
We had a wonderfully cozy stay in Karakol at this hotel - the location of the hotel is central enough, the room was both clean and comfortable, breakfast was tasty and the owner was very helpful in arranging for transport and also assisting with our laundry. Definitely a place we recommend staying at.
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!
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.
The hotel is really excellent. Shahiza and her family are making a good effort to feel like home. Rooms are specious and comfortable.

amazing hostel to start and finish your trekking journey in Karakol!
great and helpful stuff, lots of information from other travelers and a good linked restaurant to meet others for starting your trekking with.
thank you!
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.
The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. The hotel is conveniently location. The room is nice but a bit small for 2 people. The breakfast was fresh and tasty (fruit and veggies were picked from the garden!).
It is amazing… and less expensive. Better than any homestays… because most of the homestays dont have private washrooms. But this hotel has everything we need. The staff here is also so kind and helpful.
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
