Outstanding !
Вот сером шерством ето был Алтынбека класная сабака
Welcoming and authentic.
Incredibile --- Amazing
ottobre 2017
questo posto situato nel mezzo delle montagne, vi incanterà con la sua bellezza e il suo incredibile fascino. La realtà nella quale sarete immersi sarà molto differente dalla solita, dimenticatevi lo smartphone (visto che non c'è rete) e le luci artificiali (in alcune yurta o nelle camere ci sono delle fioche lampadine). La natura qui domina.
Per raggiungerlo è piuttosto facile, infatti c'è una strada sterrata (in condizioni non molto buone) di circa 15 km da Теплоключенка. Il percorso è praticabile sia a piedi che a cavallo che con mezzi 4x4 (se non siete esperti affidatevi a guide con veicoli locali).
Da Altyn Arashan ci sono parecchi sentieri, menzione speciale per quello che va al lago Ala-Kul che merita parecchio (attenzione che sono circa 20 km e nel periodo autunnale il passo per raggiungere il lago potrebbe essere innevato).
Consiglio: il cavallo è assolutamente consigliato come metodo di viaggio (ma siate preparati).

this place located in the middle of the mountains will enchant you with its beauty and its incredible charm. The reality in which you will be immersed will be very different from the usual one, forget the smartphone (as there is no network) and artificial lights (in some yurts or in the rooms there are dim light bulbs). The nature here dominates.
To reach it is quite easy, in fact there is a dirt road (under very poor conditions) about 15 km from Теплоключенка. The route is practicable both on foot and on horseback as well as by 4x4 vehicles (if you are not expertly entrusted with local guides).
There are several trails from Altyn Arashan, a special mention for what goes to Ala-Kul Lake, which deserves a lot (be careful about 20 km and in the autumn the pass to reach the lake could be snow-covered).
Tip: The horse is absolutely recommended as a travel method (but be prepared).
Le dortoir est correct, le repas bon et les sources chaudes un régal.
Great place to spend a night after return from mountains (e.g. Ala Kul lake). We spent night in the yurt after taking a bath in hot springs of Altynarashan that was very pleasant after 3 days without shower. Simir, the camp boss, speaks very well English, which is helpful. Prices were reasonable: hot spring bath (200 kgs), dinner (250 kgs), yurt 300 (kgs), breakfast (150 kgs) - all prices per person. The tent place is for 100 kgs. All prices as of Sept 2016. The only bad experience was that after reserving a taxi, Simir has mistaken us with another group of Czechs and gave our taxi to them and then a Russian group got a priority with the next taxi, so just beware that getting taxi is more individual respo rather than really organized via camp and you have to fight for it so that you don't get taken over. If you are taken over then you can be sure to wait 1.5 hr for next taxi to arrive. The taxi to Aksu village is very expensive (4000 - 5000 kgs per taxi for 7 people), then you can take mashrutka (local bus) to Karakol. The high price is driven by very bad state of the route to civilization - the car floor got hit by stone few times during our journey. It is possible to travel only by off-road car. Another pitfall was that we got a different (and smaller) dinner meals than was announced when we asked for price and what we get for it (the camp was full and I assume, the camp ran out of ingredients for original meals).
