What else ...
The Yssik Ata hot springs are just 25km away !!!
The Burana tower that was in the ancien city of Balasagun is 12km east, it has an interesting little museum.
Every Sunday in Tokmok there is a very, very big bazaar that includes one of the biggest animal market in Central Asia.
There are several minibuses a day from/to Bishkek and Tokmok and car sharing is also a usual thing here.
You can use my bicycle to wander around.
The village is located between the entrances of Yssik Ata valley and Kegety valley (Kol-Tor lake), those are some great hiking places.
