Remote. Forgotten Rivers
Remote. Forgotten Rivers is our glamping site, which opened in August 2023. We designed it to ensure comfort in this secluded and possibly the most beautiful place in Kyrgyzstan.
Activities
What will entertain and pamper you during your stay at Remote
| Kok-Moynok Canyons Amazing canyons that, despite their proximity to the highway, are incredibly beautiful and completely deserted. Passersby simply don’t know that sometimes you need to stop and venture a little off the road. |
| Skazka (Fairy Tale) Canyon Already a well-known tourist spot, but you can’t skip it, especially when you’re just an hour away. On the second day, we’ll walk through these colorful mountains. |
| Forgotten Rivers Canyons This is where our glamping is located—a real Death Valley, but next to it lies the stunningly beautiful Issyk-Kul Lake. We’ll walk through the canyons and admire them from above. Light trekking will reveal unreal views of a four-tiered panorama. |
| Issyk-Kul Translated as "hot lake," but we call it a sea, and you’ll understand why. A deserted and endless beach, crystal-clear water, SUP surfing (rental included in the tour price), and surrounding five-thousand-meter peaks. In July and August, the water temperature reaches +22°C. |
Accommodation & Amenities
Cabins, toilets, showers
| We prioritize comfort Cozy cabins with panoramic windows, comfortable mattresses, snow-white linens, and convenient showers and toilets in a remote location—this is what we wanted to create, and we did it! Each cabin accommodates two people: two cabins with one double bed and four with two separate beds. Please note that showers and toilets are located outside the cabins (the sanitary block is at the back of the restaurant), but their cleanliness and comfort will pleasantly surprise you. |
About Food
You’ll enjoy delicious meals—we cater to both meat-eaters and vegetarians.
