Things to see and do Talas

The mausoleum has a very classical form: a brick cube supporting a pointed roof. The building dates back to the ^14th century, as evidenced by the arrangement of the bricks, which form a network of geometric decorations quite common at the time. The remains of the famous storyteller are believed to lie beneath the mausoleum's foundations. In addition to the mausoleum itself, visitors can wander around the battle site and visit the large museum dedicated to the most famous of Kyrgyz epics. In summer, equestrian games are frequently held near the mausoleum.

Turdubek, the local CBT representative, knows the surrounding mountains very well and can organise a ride to Sary Chelek (6 days on horseback or 8 days on foot to go there). To reach Toktogul, it takes four days on foot. The organization is well established and Turdubek can also provide you with basic equipment if you didn't bring any with you (duvets, tents...). Very good advice, he also knows a few off-road hikes, but you will have to organize in advance so that he can accompany you.
