It was a day of roller coaster ride to Karakol along beautiful mountain valley with the slow flowing River Naryn at the bottom.Our target is Karakol abt 70km or maybe doing further,but the beautiful sceneries slow us down with many photos taking
and drinks stop. By 6.30pm with approx 15km to Karakol,sensing it is rather difficult to reah with the slow speed. So found a nice campsite with clear water running down from the top of the hill.Have a nice bath and home cooked dinner.
