Toktogul Things to Do

It was here that I saw my first muddy river in Kyrgyzstan. Up until then, I had imagined every Kyrgyz river as a magnificent blue, some an icy blue-grey. It could have been artificially muddy because it was part of the hydro-electric power scheme. This structure dams the Naryn river, and is named after a 19th century poet and songwriter. The Kyrgyz people love their story-tellers.
