Long Waterfall

Kyrgyzstan


This thin 89m ribbon of waterfall is not an especially memorable site, but there's a certain fascination watching the throngs of local summer tourists (who mostly arrive by jeep), attempting to slither up and down in their seemingly impractical footwear.

You can get here in around two hours' walk from CBT, with a final 15-minute scree scramble up to the falls.
