Discover Altyn Arashan Hot Springs – Issyk-Kul Region, Kyrgyzstan High Alpine Thermal Valley

Altyn Arashan Hot Springs are located in a high mountain valley east of Karakol in the Terskey Ala-Too range. The springs sit along the Arashan River in a protected alpine environment surrounded by dense spruce forests and peaks rising above 4,000–5,000 meters. The hot springs are naturally heated mineral waters emerging at temperatures roughly between 35°C and 50°C, depending on the source. They contain minerals such as sulfur compounds and radon, which have traditionally been associated with relaxation and recovery benefits. The area is part of a larger trekking network that includes routes to Ala-Kul Lake and Ak-Suu valley. Because of its remote location, access typically involves hiking, horseback riding, or off-road transport from Ak-Suu village near Karakol. The valley is also ecologically important, with wildlife such as ibex and occasional snow leopard presence, and is considered one of the most scenic alpine spa environments in Central Asia.
