Karakol was founded in the 19th century as a Russian frontier post and still has wide streets of wooden cottages. Its two landmarks reflect the town’s mixed heritage: the Dungan Mosque (1910), built by Chinese craftsmen without nails in the style of a Buddhist temple, and the wooden Russian Holy Trinity Cathedral.
The town is the main base for the mountains of the Terskey Ala-Too: the hot springs of Altyn Arashan, the glacial lake Ala-Kul and the red rocks of Jety-Oguz lie within easy reach.
