The title translates to "The Village of Kosh-Kol."

Kosh-Kol Settlement – Immerse Yourself in the Seaside Relaxation of Issyk-Kul

Located 210 km from Bishkek and just 30 km from Cholpon-Ata, the village of Kosh-Kol offers a calm and measured way of life. Kosh-Kol, also known as Kosh-Kel, Kosh-Kol, or Koshkol, is a small settlement situated 5 km west of the larger village of Tamchy. There are not many recreation centers and private houses here, making relaxation in this part of the Issyk-Kul coast more tranquil. The main part of the settlement stretches along the highway, while the sandy shoreline is dotted with colorful roofs of luxurious cottages and buildings. In Kosh-Kol, you can find a somewhat strange yet harmonious coexistence of trendy holiday homes and dilapidated sanatoria from the Soviet era. Kosh-Kol is one of the first villages that greet tourists coming from Balakchi, eager to dive into the contrasting waters of Issyk-Kul, toss their city shoes on the warm sand, and enjoy hot corn on the cob brought by local vendors. As if sensing this impatience and desire to fully immerse in seaside relaxation, you can choose accommodations in Kosh-Kol that suit your taste and budget.

Modern recreation centers in Kosh-Kol offer a full range of services, while the restored sanatoria from the Soviet era allow you to experience the atmosphere of 30 years ago: parks adorned with stone busts, rocking benches, wooden terraces, etc. Additionally, Kosh-Kol is home to radon springs, which have healing properties and are recommended for people with cardiovascular diseases.

Along the shore of Kosh-Kol, you will find sanatoria such as "Blue Bay," "Ak Zhol," "Ecologist," and many others, built during the Soviet Union and still retaining the mood and atmosphere of that era.

The rocking benches, wooden houses, and communal dining rooms have been restored but have not significantly changed in appearance and interior; iron stands and stone busts still adorn the well-kept alleys. Tourists who wish not only to relax by the gentle lake but also to indulge in pleasant feelings of nostalgia can enjoy their vacation in these affordable and cozy sanatoria.

Although the sanatoria in Kosh-Kol differ from one another and offer their own special and unique conditions for relaxation, together they create the hospitable reputation of this small coastal settlement, which is cherished by the locals and the attentive staff of the holiday homes.

On a good day, you can see the snowy peaks of the Tien Shan mountains on the other side of the lake. If desired, excursions to the mountain gorges can be organized on both the northern and southern sides of Issyk-Kul Lake.

A wide variety of excursions to the mountain gorges, rich with their ancient beautiful legends, tours of historical and cultural monuments on the northern and southern shores, and boat trips on yachts and riverboats create opportunities for a full and actively educational holiday.
