Karakol is a small, charming, village-like town located at the foot of the mountains. The views are spectacular, the air is tasty-fresh, the food is diverse and as organic as it gets; most importantly, people are open, welcoming, a little reserved at first, but ready to help once you approach them.
Infrastructure and buildings are decayed, but it only adds to the charm of the town if you are open to go through a little hardship here and there, especially if you are arriving from a megapolis.
Karakol offers a few interesting museums and galleries, but the main attraction is that it is an intermediary place to starting your journey exploring peaks, gorges, vallies, hot springs and all the other natural gems that Kyrgyzstan offers its guests. The town itself has very interesting history and a crazy mix of many ethnic groups (Kyrgyz, Ukrainian, Dungan, Russian, Korean, German, Uzbek, Uyghur, Tatar, etc). Find yourself a local friend (easier to do in Kyrgyzstan) and he/she will open up doors to many other amazing sides of Karakol.

You can easily stay one week or longer in this destination.
You can easily stay one week or longer in this destination. There is everything you may expect from Kyrgyzstan: lake Issyk Kul just a few Km from Karakol, amazing mountains with lost od different treks: one-day or multiple-day. I suggest to definitely climb to Ala Kol lake, visit Teleti valley or go up to the pass, immerse in hot springs in Altyn Arashan, or if you need a modern structure go to Ak-Suu thermal pools. Jeti-Ögüz is a 100% must see, or go to Jargalan valley and admire dozens of semi-wild horses, rent one of them and enjoy the view to the world from horseback. Buy some local hand-made products e.g. shirdak carpets, taste awesome local cuisine (esp. lamb, plov or manty) and don't miss local market in Karakol, wooden Holy Trinity Cathedral, unusual architecture of Dungan mosque or Sunday animal market in the town suburbs.

Karakol has a lot to offer about the beautiful nature,but government should start to develop the infrastructure for this city more.,should install street light in all street,cuz traveler are coming more and more to Kyrgistan.If tourist feel safe enough even during the night the business in town will get more income from tourist .And the street should be upgraded .

We stayed in Karakol for 2 nights - before and after our hike to Ala Kol lake. I would recommend bringing camping gear from your home country as the shops in Karakol aren't great. There are companies though that you can rent tents, cooking gear etc. if you prefer. Karakol has few cafes and restaurants (we tried Cat Cafe and Meeting Point) aimed for overseas travelers but also places to try local culinary (unfortunately the highly recommended place was closed for Eid).

The town is very flat and was not what we expected.
The town is very flat and was not what we expected. It had all the things we needed (restaurants, convenience stores, petrol stations) and was easy to get around. The museum was well worth the visit. The cathedral we only saw the garden and outside. It was a lovely unique piece of architecture. The real attractions are the mountain passes and valleys.
Breakfast was lovely, the yurt was comfortable, and the bathrooms excellent (with high quality toilet paper, even). An excellent location between mountains and the center, with a nice Terrace restaurant nearby, as well as a grocery store. Close also to Lighthouse Karakol and Ashlyan Fu Alley. The hosts also helped us arrange our trip to the next destination, with prices much, much more affordable than those quoted to us elsewhere (I speak Russian, so the language was not the issue). Very kind and friendly people.
Nurdin is the kindest and most welcoming man I have met in Kyrgyzstan. He speaks great English and was super helpful in planning my time in Karakol. His family are so sweet and offered me lots of food during my stay. Room was clean and comfortable. Great value for money. And location is nice - near a park, and also near a regular bus stop to take you to the centre if you don't feel like walking. Overall had a great stay here. Thanks so much Nurdin and family!
Very lovely place with helpful staff. People come to Karakol for trekking in the nature, therefore the staff have very good connections with trekking organizations, transporters and ... so everybody can arrange a good hike with their help. they can arrange transport to Karakol valley and reserve Yurt if you want to do the Ala-Kul trekking. Rooms and kitchen facilities are good. Located in a good, safe and calm place.
Highly recommended place to stay in Karakol - lovely staff, comfortable rooms and amazing food. The Mariam at the hotel is super organized and a great communicator - contacting us in advance to confirm meal choices and other important details to ensure we had a great stay. Rooms were warm and comfortable - perfect for our winter visit, skiing in the area.
We had a great time here! The rooms and shared areas were comfortable, clean and homey. There was also a beautiful decorative lounge area and a nice garden outside. Above all, Nuradin, the host, was super helpful and friendly, giving his recommendations for things to do in Karakol and letting us leave our luggage when we were away on a multi-day trek.
We stayed as several families and our kids liked the hotel as much as we did. Elya (the host) was very kind and assisting. They serve only breakfast, but this room can be also used for dinners if you cook by your self or order food from restaurants. We took some wine with us and had good time in the hotel, just like home.
Lovely and very helpful hosts who speak wonderful English. Rooms are very comfortable (more of a guesthouse than hostel). Stayed here before and after a trek and loved the comfort of the rooms and kindness of the hosts that we extended our stay. Very good value for money, highly recommend to anyone visiting Karakol.
Yuka-san's place is absolutely gorgeous, cosy, and very clean. The breakfast included is delicious, and the general attention to details stands out.
There is also parking bearby and the location is very convenient.
Absolutely recommend if you are thinking of staying in Karakol!
The hotel is conveniently located in the town of Karakol with some great dining options (ask the hotel manager for booking help). Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable making the hotel a nice stopping point for Karakol and Jyrgalan trips.
The owner is a guardian angel and the place feels quite literally like a home, the name Nest conveys the feeling of staying here well. Location was the most convenient I found among the hostel I stayed in when in Karakol.
Great social option in Karakol, suitable for all ages. Lot of space, nice big yard and chill out area, the place is clean and well run.
Easy to meet other people to go hike with.
Would stay again.
The host was very nice and friendly. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The guesthouse is located in a quiet neighborhood outside of Karakol, easily accessible by foot.
The breakfast at this hotel was absolutely outstanding! Every morning, we could count on a spread of vegetables, cheeses, teas/coffee, and various freshly made homemade main courses.
Very kind, helpful and professional staff.
Amazing picturesque view from the room.
Best coffee I have had in Kyrgyzstan, was on this hotel.
Big room with lots of space.
Great little cabins in the National Park above Karakol. Very nice to go for hikes and rides from here. For Kyrgyz standards this is very clean and has modern furniture.
It is the best hotel in entire Karakol region. We stayed there several times, and happy to return back. Exceptional service. great people. Amazing breakfast!
