Kegety Waterfall

Kegety waterfall is located 85 kilometers outside of Bishkek in the Kegety Gorge (one of Kyrgyzstan's most beautiful gorges). The waterfall stands approximately 30 meters tall and at an elevation of 2000 meters. It's also close to Burana Tower, an ancient Silk Road monument for those interested in history. The surrounding jungly rainforest is equally lovely, creating a magical memory you'll never forget.

The distinctive blues and greens that can be seen in the water as it cascades over limestone and chalk rocks are what really distinguish these waterfalls, ranging from aquamarine to emerald and turquoise. Kegety presents a stunning scene, best seen from above, where it seems as though the water streaming from the cliff is just dissipating into thin air. Although enjoyable year-round, the optimum time to visit for a nice balance between high water levels and low heat is in the spring to early summer (April to July), when temperatures tend to hover between 23 and 32 degrees celsius. The monsoon season's height, when the falls are supposedly at their most potent, is really when professionals visit.
