About This Destination
Discover Issyk-Ata Gorge – Chui Region, Kyrgyzstan Hot Springs & Alpine Healing Valley
Issyk-Ata Gorge is one of the most accessible and historically significant mountain valleys in northern Kyrgyzstan, located about 80 km east of Bishkek in the Kyrgyz Ala-Too range. The gorge is widely known for its natural hot springs, which have been used for centuries for their mineral-rich healing properties. During the Soviet era, a sanatorium complex was developed here, and the area continues to function as a wellness and recreation zone today. The valley features a combination of spruce forests, alpine meadows, and a river flowing through a narrow canyon. Higher up, hiking routes lead toward waterfalls, glaciers, and mountain passes, offering a gradual transition from easy access tourism to more remote alpine terrain.
