Gorge is very beautiful. At the entrance there are honey available to buy. Local yurt cafes offer live trout which you can catch in the pond in the lake.

Enjoy the beauty of our unique country. If you don't take into account the crowds during the season, this is a great location. Out of season it is quiet and peaceful there. It’s better to drive your own car...you can stop and leisurely admire nature.
