Shar cascade waterfall<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Shar (or Shaar) Waterfall is the tallest in Central Asia with the staggering height of more than 400 meters! It’s height is hard to comprehend without wandering just below it as the surrounding cliffs of the At Bashi mountain range are also huge in size. The waterfall can only be reached by horseback or hiking. The path is not suited for first time riders but the ones that have already a bit of experience can manage the rocky and hilly paths well. This waterfall is not the easiest to reach but it is for sure worth the trouble.

Barskoon waterfalls are a chain of waterfalls in the Barskoon valley<\/a>, at the southern shore of Issyk Kul<\/a>. The third waterfall in Barskoon is expeptionally beautiful but climbing there requires a bit of fitness and you cannot have any problems with your legs as the path up is steep and sometimes also slippery. The first and second waterfalls of the Barskoon chain are easier to reach and the first one can be even ridden to. The autumn colors that start in September make these waterfalls even more spectacular.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Arslanbob<\/a> village area has two beautiful waterfalls that are easily reached. They are named simply the small waterfall and the large waterfall. The small one is inside the village and has a cave next to it. The large waterfall does not have more water compared to the small one but it is considerably taller. It can be reached with the help of local Soviet cars that transfer people there constantly from the village main square.

Song Kul<\/a> waterfall is rarely visited as it is a bit hidden inside a gorge. It is located just next to the first curve of the 33 parrots serpentine road leading to Son Kul lake, one of the most visited destinations of all Kyrgyzstan. One only needs to walk few hunded meters along a path to the waterfall. The Son kul waterfall is not that high but the amount of water is abundant as all the water leaving the lake and its large catchment area come through here.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Jeti Oguz<\/a> Waterfall is a scenic natural attraction located in the Jeti Oguz valley in the Issyk-Kul<\/a> Region of Kyrgyzstan. The area at the mouth of the valley is famous for its red rock formations and lush green landscapes, and the waterfall is one of several hidden gems in the region.\u00a0Jeti Oguz lies about 28 kilometers west of Karakol<\/a>, a major town on the eastern shores of Lake Issyk Kul. The gorge itself is part of the northern slopes of the Terskey Alatau Range, a subsection of the Tien Shan Mountains.<\/span><\/p>

The Jeti-Oguz Waterfall is relatively small compared to many other waterfalls in Kyrgyzstan, with a drop of approximately 30 meters. However, its beauty lies in the surrounding picturesque landscape and how the water flows down along the rocky surface creating an endless amount of small cascades.\u00a0The waterfall is fed by a mountain stream that originates from melting glaciers in the Terskey Alatau Mountains and is called the Maiden’s tears.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Ak-Sai Waterfall (Ala Archa waterfall) is a natural attraction located within Ala-Archa<\/a> National Park just south of Bishkek<\/a>. Known for its alpine beauty and somewhat challenging hike, the Ak-Sai Waterfall is a popular destination for adventurers and nature enthusiasts.\u00a0The waterfall is located within the Ak-Sai Gorge, one of the main gorges in Ala-Archa National Park.

Itagar waterfall is a bit hidden and unknown so it is still definitely off the beaten path. Walking westwards in the Itagar valley, originating from the Chychkan gorge between Bishkek and Osh, you can reach a marvelous and powerful 8-meter waterfall called Itagar. The waterfall is quite high at the mountain side, and can be seen already from afar but luckily the walk is not very steep.<\/p>

Along the Chyckan gorge<\/a>, there are also numerous other streams enhancing the Chychkan river coming from the glaciers in the surrounding mountains along their own gorges and also some spectacular swimming places if you are not afraid of the chilly waters.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Once you reach the end of the drivable road, there\u2019s a short hike of around 1 to 3 hours to reach the waterfall while the hike is moderate in difficulty, with some rocky terrain and gentle uphill climbs, so proper hiking footwear is recommended.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Abshir Ata waterfall<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Abshir Ata<\/a> Waterfall is a unique waterfall in Southern Kyrgyzstan, located in the Abshir Valley in the Osh<\/a> Region, in the southern part of the country on and reached through the road leading to Batken<\/a>. This waterfall stands out not only for its beauty but also for its unusual origin and cultural significance.\u00a0<\/span>The waterfall is situated about 70 kilometers east of Osh, the second largest city in Kyrgyzstan.<\/span><\/p>

The Abshir Ata Waterfall is unique because it emerges directly from the rock face of a cliff in a gorge with almost vertical walls on both sides. Unlike typical waterfalls that flow over the edge of cliffs, this one springs out from a hole in the rock, making it appear as though the water is erupting from the mountain itself.\u00a0The waterfall has a drop of about 10 meters and there are stairs built right next to it and the area has also a lot of other facilities related to the site being a pilgrimage destination for many locals. While not particularly tall, the way the water gushes from the cliffside makes it a striking sight.\u00a0The water that feeds the waterfall is fresh and cold, originating from an underground spring inside the mountain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Kock kol (or Kok Kol) Waterfall is a magically beautiful creation of nature, the largest of the waterfalls in Kazakh (and all of) Altai by volume which is far away from the areas commonly visited by tourists. The waterfall is about 80 m high and has a steepness of about 60-70\u00b0. A water stream over 10 m wide cascades down the wall of the Berel spur with a deafening roar that can be heard far away. When falling from a great height, fine water dust is formed, ionizing the air in the valley.\u00a0<\/p>

On sunny days, the waterfall is painted in all the colors of the rainbow. A powerful waterfall, a picturesque gorge covered with beautiful cedar and spruce forest, give extraordinary beauty and charm to this corner of Altai nature. Its location near the Lower Camp on the way to the foot of the legendary Belukha makes it even more interesting to visit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
