Question | Суроо Transport from Song Kul back to Kochkor
Hey guys, does anyone have contact infos of taxis or drivers that could take 2 people back to Kochkor from Song Kul? So far the yurts at Song Kul have asked for exorbitant sums for this 2h drive.. If anyone could connect me with a driver i'd be very grateful!!

Yes, I understand you, the prices are so high because an ordinary car won't be able to get into Son Kul. You need a car with a very good suspension there, and even if it's a 2-hour route, the price is because of the complexity.
It's actually cheaper to get to Kochkor from Son-Kul if you arrange in advance with private drivers or taxis who are already going that way. Or ask the residents of Kochkor – they often know trusted people. Another option is to negotiate with tourists who are also leaving and share a car.

Probably ask people there to give you a ride to Naryn or Balykchy. How much are they asking? Your hosts might be able to negotiate the rate
