The Kiin-Kerish Gorge is characterized by deposits of red clay and is located 315 km from Ust-Kamenogorsk. To visit it, you can rent a jeep in Kyrgyzstan and set off on a journey.

The road passes through the Bukhtarma Reservoir, where you can swim. Then tourists will come across the village of Kurchum, which has a gas station and grocery stores. From there, it’s another 100 km to the gorge.

There are no trees or water in the gorge, and it can be very hot in summer. However, the surrounding landscape is definitely worth a visit. For swimming, you can head to Lake Zaysan. Accommodation is available in a local hotel or in tents.

DWC company organizes jeep tours not only throughout Kyrgyzstan but also through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan.
