In the Baidamtal Valley at a depth of 70 m, there is a very mysterious cave. A man barely fits into the mouth of the cave and has difficulty getting inside. Its original side occupies an area larger than a gray house. Inside the cave, there are places for people to rest, and in the corner there are shelves for storing things. There is a large cave here that can accommodate 20 horsemen, which is aesthetically pleasing and attracts foreign citizens. This mysterious cave is called the “Hole Cave” because there is an open area on the western side of the peak.

There are also three waterfalls in this forest. The 40-meter-high dead-end waterfall flows along the Eki-Chat River, which is covered with dense forest and does not see the sun’s rays. It is called a dead-end waterfall because the peaks of the cliff are connected to each other. There is a long waterfall from the gorge of Mount Kok-Bel. In the summer heat, this waterfall dries up. In this waterfall, water flows from a glacier. Also in the gorge of Mount “Baidamtal” is the “Okurgan Bulak” waterfall, flowing from a height of 50 m.
In addition, the park has tombs, ponds, carved stones. For example, for tourists interested in rock climbing, there is the “Saimaluu-Tash” stone carved on the surface of a large mountain, Lake “Ala-Kul”, located on an area of 3.5 hectares, and mountains 4200 meters above sea level.
