Located in the Talas region, the Kara-Koyun Valley has already gained popularity among tourists and gold seekers, possessing significant potential for development.
The Talas Territorial Representation of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology, and Technical Supervision recently shared video footage shot in this picturesque gorge.
Kara-Koyun is situated at an altitude of 1600 meters and lies on the border between the Talas and Bakai-Ata districts, representing the central part of the Talas Ala-Too, a mountain range of the Western Tian Shan system. The highest point in the region is Dym-Bol, reaching 3,839 meters, and the valley borders the Uiyur-Mural and Kara-Koyun rivers.
This valley is known for its unique microclimate and three large caves. Here, one can find apple trees, plums, strawberries, and many other berries. The fauna of the region includes snow leopards, argalis, mountain rams (known as "kulja"), and goats.
Experts from the Talas Regional Representation of the Ministry of Natural Resources are confident that the Kara-Koyun Valley has great tourism potential at the state level.
Local resident Shaken Kultaev from the Bakai-Ata district recalls that gold seekers were often found here in the past. "This area has always impressed with its diversity. As I remember, 7-8 years ago, there were many gold seekers here. This is related to the fact that during Soviet times, local wealthy people who were subjected to dekulakization moved through the Besh-Tash gorge to Toktogul, taking their livestock, gold and silver items, furs, and gold bars with them. It is said that caves were created in Kara-Koyun where these treasures were hidden. Although we do not have all the information, one thing is known — the wealthy people of that time knew every corner of this valley," he said.
