Such an awesome place to visit on the way to or from karakol. The canyon is just off the main road, super easy to get to but the climb up to get the best views is perilous as there are no ropes or safety bars to help you up to the view point.
It is normally 50som to enter but when we arrived no one was at the toll booth.

Skazka is very different to most of the natural sites in Kyrgyzstan. Colorful rocks with the vibe of another planet. Site is relatively small so it should just be a stop along the way to somewhere else.

One of the most eye-catching sights on the southern shore of  Issyk-Kul lake. And what distinguishes it - easily achievable. From the bypass road around the lake to the gorge lies the distance of about one and a half kilometers. After the checkpoint, where the entrance fee is charged, it is better to go to the left, although on the right there are the same impressive-looking piles of rocks of bizarre shape and different shades of color - from ochre to juicy brown. But the left section is much longer and, as a consequence, more diverse. The only bad thing is that it is the to the east, and in the morning it is very inconvenient to take pictures. So the best time to visit is in the afternoon, at 3-4 o'clock.

The scenery is excellent, especially close to sunset. There are easy and more challenging walks, but nothing too difficult. In early summer there are some nice wildflowers. The toilet near the car park is VERY basic, try to find a better one before you arrive! Note this is the same place as Fairytale Canyon

This is a sandstone canyon just off the main road south of Issyk Kyl Lake about 45 minutes east of Bokobaev. It is worth visiting for anyone interested in hiking and has great views. There are trails of different degrees of difficulty for people with different hiking skills. There are no benches. It would be difficult on a rainy day. There is parking available. Worth seeing if you are in the area. The name Skazka means "Fairy Tale Canyon."

Skazka is the best place to visit in Kyrgyzstan. I’m really surprised about this beautiful canyon. Only 2km from main road.
