One of the best winter trips I have ever taken. As a single female traveler always traveling solo, I was apprehensive about a snowy winter hike up a canyon. My tour guide was simply amazing. Mars was everything I could have asked for to feel secure & adventurous. First though, I have to say, my flight to Bishkek was diverted to Almaty due to snow & ice weather so I thought I would forfeit my tour. After speaking with Mars, he assured me that as I was the only participant for the day, he would await my flight. I arrived in Bishkek, 3 hours later and he was waiting.
It was an exciting drive in the snow to the Canyon and a great hike up & back. He had a surprise tea on the peak overlooking the canyon, as well as brief stops at an excellent local eatery where I sampled delicious local meal & tea.
I would highly recommend this tour with him.

the canyons of Konorchek impressed with their power, scale and grandeur.

Its located 110 kms away from Bishkek on the way to Issyk Kul. There is a sign near Red Bridge where car parking on gravel is located. From that point its 2.5 kms walk along the canyon which gets narrow at some points. There are rocky bariers which needs to be crossed. So one need good hiking shoes and athletic wear. We have visited in the middle of January, so literally there are no snow at the canyons due to winds which blows in that area. The cascade of canyons are picturesque, looks like terrains from another planet.

It is necessary to leave on the Red bridge. There's a cabin where we asked to leave our things, and we were allowed. The road is easy. You need to go half an hour until the start of the high rises. In a couple of questionable places you need to go to the left. There are three high obstacles, but you need to overcome them without a doubt. Reward for you will be deliciously beautiful canyon. Well, or canyons, there are sleeves-branches. The examination will take an hour and a half. Konorchek is a bit similar to "Fairy Tale" and Kok-Moinok canyons.

Possibly one of the most photogenic places in Kyrgystan is the Konorchek Canyons a short drive away from Bishkek. We headed there with our fixer leading the way and were astounded by the natural beauty of the place with the red sandstone canyon. Fairly easy hike through the canyon floor on the dry river bed, make sure you bring water rations and a huge memory card for your camera as you will not believe the colors and amazing beauty found here.

Konorchek is popular red sandstone canyon on the way Bishkek - Issyk Kul. Relatively dry microclimate makes it suitable hiking location even during the rainy days. The path leads through the canyon and most of the time you walk on the dry bottom of the river. There are 3-4 rock steps in the canyon, which require little "climbing" (better said: using your hands to walk around the walls), where you should be careful. On the plateau, you can find several paths to walk, search for interesting rock formations, hike small hills and take pictures. Camping in the wild is possible, too.
