Although I did not spend much time in the city itself, I must say that Kanas Lake is beautiful. If you can make it up there for a couple of days, certainly do that. There are some really interesting tour groups, for example my group stayed in Mongolian style yurts. Afterwards, we went on a horseback journey to a small town called Hemu. Although I would not recommend the horseback (it was a grueling 12 hour trip), Hemu was excellent because it still has retained its small town charm despite being opened to tourism only five years ago. Hope this helped Reply    Reply with quote    Contact arosen116
