One of the main sight around Karakol are some impressive geological formations in a place called Jeti-Oguz, 30 minutes away by car. The most famous of them is called the Seven Bulls, because of the seven rocks that make it up.
I actually went there on my first day in Karakol, but it was already late and because the sun was right over the Seven Bulls, I couldn't catch the color of the rocks with my camera. So I had to go once again.
In the cafe at the hostel, there is a board where people can find partners for excursions. I joined a French couple who wrote their name on the board, and we end up 9 people to go together, filling two taxis.

The seven bulls of Jeti-Oguz.
From the other side, the last two of the bulls form the Broken Heart.

Some more stunning landscapes.
With Martina, one of the only two Swiss people I met in Karakol (nicely photobombed by Romain).
The whole group walking through the valley.
After one hour walk, 6 of us rent some horses to go to a waterfall, the other ones went back.
My horse was quite slow (or I might be a slow rider...); I was quickly distanced.
He was out of breath in the uphills...
...and afraid in the downhills.
But anyway we made it to the waterfall.
The valley of Jeti-Oguz.
