From Chatyr-Kul Lake, head southeast on the main road towards Kazybek. Continue on this road for approximately 20 kilometers until you reach Kazybek. Upon entering the village, look for signs directing you to Bash-Keltebik. You may need to park your car at a designated area and continue on foot as the area is more accessible by hiking trails.
Public Transportation
If you're using public transportation, look for a minibus (marshrutka) heading from Chatyr-Kul Lake to Kazybek. The ride will take about 30-40 minutes. Once you arrive in Kazybek, ask locals for directions to Bash-Keltebik. It's advisable to have a map or a translation app handy, as English may not be widely spoken. From the drop-off point, you may have to walk a short distance to reach the hiking area.
