Aravan is famous for its surroundings, which have attracted archaeologists and speleologists. Not far from the city lies an ancient settlement that existed during the classical era on the Great Silk Road.

On the rocks around the settlement, one can find images of domestic animals and petroglyphs. The rock paintings here are distinguished by their high level and naturalism. Particularly impressive are the depictions of horses, which correspond to the description of the legendary "heavenly horses" of Fergana.

Here is also the deepest cave in Kyrgyzstan – the Fersman Cave. Other caves – Surprise, Victory, Chon-Chunkur, Ajiadar-Unkur – are characterized by spacious multicolored (due to the glow of crystals) halls and passages. Another cave, Chil-Ustun, is located in the rocky massif of the mountain of the same name in the interfluve of Aravan-Say and Ak-Buura. Its walls are adorned with Arabic graphics.
