The Karakol Gorge is located just 5-9 km south of the city of Karakol, which was previously named Przhevalsk in honor of Nikolai Przhevalsky, who passed away here in 1888. The city is situated at the foot of the gorge, and it takes 10-15 minutes by car or minibus from the center to reach the entrance. Mount Przhevalsky is visible from Karakol, and the ascent to it begins right in the gorge.
