Distance on both sided are equal between Balykchy and Karakol (app. around 220km). Nothern Northern part is more developed than southernSouthern.[[File:kgzroad.JPG|280px|thumb|right|Road along the Southern shore]]The places are small and you can just thumb everywhere on the main road. Hint: Spend there a few days hitchin' from village to village and stay where you find a good place, f.e. very cheap yurt camps on the South shore.
