You can't really call it a museum, just rock carvings on stones with tablets in which century and what is painted. The entrance fee is 80 som (August 2024), there is no guide, guess for yourself what and where is painted on the stones, without the name of the tablets, it is hardly possible to understand what is depicted on the stone.
I walked from Cholpan Ata market along the abandoned Cholpan Ata airport (far away, 1 hour in that direction and 1 hour back). I do not recommend taking a taxi or an excursion, you will spend a lot of money in vain
It's honestly not worth your money, and it's not a fact that it was painted back in the 5th century, and not yourself, in order to enrich yourself on tourists.
Strange... They take tourists by car to a field covered with stones and say, look for it.. There are definitely petroglyphs here somewhere. When asked what they look like and what to look for, they show a stone with a pattern... And everyone rode off to look. To be honest, my husband realized that it was necessary to look for broken stones and was happy when he found them, after they clarified that this was not what he was upset about)) I found another similar one (but not exactly). So 40 minutes of wasted time with the threat of a broken leg))
As the caretaker told us, this is the second largest place in Kyrgyzstan with pertroglyphs. There are very distinct drawings. You can wander for hours. There is a check mark and a description next to each drawing.
