Exploring of Tian Shan


The trekking area lies between the southern shore of the Issyk Kul Lake and the northern slopes of the Terski Alatau mountain range. The area belongs to the most beautiful and remote parts of Central Asia. As the trek goes in the immediate proximity to the highest part of the range, the trekker has a unique opportunity to continuously enjoy the views of its immense and severe peaks: Karakol Peak (5,218m), Djhety-Oguz Peak (5,181m), Djhigit Peak (5,172m) and Aksu Peak (5,020m). Travellers will immerse in the freshness of fragrant fir forests and experience the healing effects of hot mineral springs (Djhialisu, Altin-Arashan).
