- Juliet RBudapest, Hungary366 contributionsOne of the best winter trips I have ever taken. As a single female traveler always traveling solo, I was apprehensive about a snowy winter hike up a canyon. My tour guide was simply amazing. Mars was everything I could have asked for to feel secure & adventurous. First though, I have to say, my flight to Bishkek was diverted to Almaty due to snow & ice weather so I thought I would forfeit my tour. After speaking with Mars, he assured me that as I was the only participant for the day, he would await my flight. I arrived in Bishkek, 3 hours later and he was waiting.
It was an exciting drive in the snow to the Canyon and a great hike up & back. He had a surprise tea on the peak overlooking the canyon, as well as brief stops at an excellent local eatery where I sampled delicious local meal & tea.
I would highly recommend this tour with him.Written 6 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The hot baths are an experience of their own as well, despite the somewhat neglected service and old-fashined "Soviet" style facilities. It was still a very very nice experience, i'd recommend to anyone.
Budda stone, old sanatorium, three hot baths (one of them is said to be with radonium, attention), and unspeakably beautiful mountains. Something to remember for sure.Written 7 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We hiked to the waterfall and spent the afternoon enjoying the fresh mountain air.Written 10 September 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mars AtlasBishkek, Kyrgyzstan196 contributionsIt’s of the closest gorges to Bishkek. You need to pass Supara chokurchak and drive left towards beginning of the gorge. It’s very scenic and picturesque. Alpine forest is very close.Written 24 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aliya S9 contributionsVery good place to learn to ski/board. There are couple cables for each level. Although on some days they open only some of them - so it is better to call in advance.
Also, if you have no-skiers there is a nice small cafeteria for them to relax
On weekends there are a lot of people there, so you will spend a lot of time in waiting line. Just be prepared for that because it is a problem with every ski complex in KyrgyzstanWritten 20 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mars AtlasBishkek, Kyrgyzstan196 contributionsThe road has been fully renovated and is very smooth. Drive is enjoyable with huge mountains on both sides. Many roadside cafes are available for dining. There is Konorchek Canyon near the Red bridge. 2 km of a walk from the road. If you are adventurous enough you may take rafting in Boom river, which get big and bit terrifying in summer. Overall its good stop for food and taking rest if your travelling to Issyk Kul or Naryn from Bishkek.Written 27 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TianGwangju, South Korea7 contributionsThe infrastructure is not very new, but the nature of the resort takes your breath away. It's very beautiful, especially in winter. It's not just snow, but actual forest. Some tracks though can be dangerous because of the vegetation so keep that in mind. Resort itself is very cheap.Written 12 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- JGDynamoCanada2,158 contributionsWe hiked up the Ak-Sai Glacier last summer when we were in the area. We have hiked glaciers before in the Rocky Mountains and they are always fairly easy hikes but still one must be wary as it is nature and she likes to play with you. Come prepared and anticipate it will take you the better part of the day, bring your camera as you will be surrounded by beauty, your camera will never do it justice but nice to have the visual to go with the memories.Written 1 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JGDynamoCanada2,158 contributionsA short drive out of Bishkek is the glorious Sokuluk Gorge. Our fixer Timur got us there and back handily and helped us find some amazing day hikes while we were there in summer 2017. There was so much wildlife around, beautiful waterfalls, contrasting rolling hills covered in thick forest and well marked paths. It seems to be a popular hiking spot for many locals and tourists alike and we liked it too.Written 1 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew M7,174 contributionsThe Ataturk Park may be reached by bus 9, or trolley bus 11. Both can be taken from Manas Avenue near to the intersection with Chuy Avenue.The statue of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk will be seen to the left as soon as you enter the park. He lived between 1881-1938, and has statues in many countries, particularly in the muslim faith dominated countries.He was controversial for his reforms, but still respected by the muslim world.
He repelled the attempted British and French invasion of Turkey in 1915-1916, during WW1, and then instituted many reforms making Turkey the first modern muslim state.He took power of Turkey at a time when the Ottoman Empire, which ruled between 14th-20th centuries, was crumbling. After the civil war of independence, Turkey became a republic in the early 1920's. His reforms included, making education free and compulsory, changing the Turkish alphabet and giving women voting rights long before this was commonplace in the western world.
The path leading past the statue is nicely shaded, and there are beautiful waterways and small fountains along the path. At the end of the smaller fountains, which seem to be on timers, is a large fountain where paths intersect. The Ala Archa river runs very close to the park, so there is an abundance of water for the fountains. Many children's activity areas are also set up in the park, so it is great for a family visit.
There are two main paths in the park. If you take the path to the right, it will lead to the Afghanistan monument.The monument is a tall concrete structure that curves around a central sculpture.The central sculpture is of a soldier with gun in his right hand, supporting an injured colleague with his left hand.Afghan monuments tend to show the soldiers in a defeated pose.The years of the war 1979-1989 are at the base of the monument, and the names of the fallen soldiers on plaques to the right. To the rear of the statue is a small "man stone", which represents ancient Kyrygz burial culture.The names of fallen soldiers is also at the rear of the monument. This monument was opened in 1996.
There are a few F&B options in the park, including shaslik which we could smell as we strolled through the park. Immediately outside the park are quite a few fast food restaurants, and a few local restaurants. There are not many attractions in this area, but a visit here may be combined with a visit to Victory Park, which is approximately 3 km south east. The park has free entry, but didn't seem to be open 24 hours.Written 25 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
