Hello colleagues!
I want to share my impressions over the years of travel. Perhaps someone will recognize familiar places. If you have saved a photo - it is interesting to compare. Perhaps you will like the photos and someone will want to visit these places. All photos are taken while traveling by car. Pictures of different countries will be shown, mainly Central Asia. I will say just a few words about each episode, if you have any questions - welcome!

I'll start with the oldest photographs taken at the turn of the century. If someone was interested in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan at that time, then he remembers a lot of talk about a short road through the mountains between Alma-Ata and Lake Issyk-Kul. This path went through two passes and the Chon-Kemin River.

The height of the Ozerny pass is 3503 meters.

From the Chon-Kemin River to the Kok-Airyk Pass

The height of the Kok-Ayryk pass is 3890 meters.

Pearl of East Kazakhstan - Alakol Lake! Healing water, hot sun, light wave. Tens of thousands of tourists come here from all directions.

Oh, this is not that photo, it's the month of March. I'll post another photo now.

Oh oh oh! Not so again! It's the month of May, and in May it should be warm... Wait a second, I'll find the "correct" photo.

Yes! It's all right now, it's August. Now it's warm here and everyone is happy!

Did not know that the alakol lake water was considered as healing..

In the Kazakhstan segment of the Internet there are a lot of stories about the miraculous healing of various diseases after 1-2 weeks of bathing in Alakol. Many people believe... ))

.. do you know if there are wild hotspring ... somewhere around the alakol ake?

Frankly speaking, I have not seen hot springs near Alakol, "wild" or "tame". )) I know one resort not far from Alakol (46.108918, 82.305607), "Barlyk - Arasan", but I have never been there. The fact is that there are hot springs much closer to Alma-Ata, this is Chundzha, I was there. https://roadstravel.ru/goryachiye-istoc ... stan-2021/

.. do you know if there are ... Russian style sanatorium somewhere around the alakol ake?

Russian-style sanatoriums? In the southern part of Kazakhstan? However...
