About Jeti-Oguz, Kyrgyzstan: how to get there and what to see
Jeti-Oguz is one of Kyrgyzstan’s most recognisable landscapes: a wall of red sandstone broken into seven pinnacles, known as the Seven Bulls, rising over pastures and spruce forest. Legends tie the nearby Broken Heart rock to a story of love and tragedy.
Short walks lead to viewpoints, and the neighbouring Flower Valley is a gentle trail in summer. The gorge is a favourite photo stop on the road around Issyk-Kul.
