Fairytale Canyon in Kyrgystan🥰

Fairytale Canyon, known locally as Skazka Canyon, is named for its surreal and vibrant rock formations that seem straight out of a fantasy tale. After visiting the mountain ranges, the canyon's landscape offers a striking contrast, providing visitors with a completely different natural experience. The Skazka Canyon is conveniently located on the road from Bishkek to Karakol along the southern shore of Issyk Kul.

According to one legend, in a nearby city lived a beautiful girl who was pursued by a seven-headed dragon. The dragon, in love with her, asked her to marry him. However, she declined, saying she loved another. The dragon, heartbroken, cursed the valley, proclaiming that on the night of the full moon, the water in one of the wells would rise and flood the valley until the girl changed her mind.

For your information, this place is also included in our ground tour package. In Skazka, you can hike up to see the entire landscape of the canyon. It’s incredibly beautiful from the top.

Please don't forget to include this place in your itinerary when planning your trip to Kyrgyzstan!🤗
