DESCRIPTION

Do you like to reach new heights? We invite you to visit our country, a country on the edge of the rocky mountains. We will go on a search for a heavenly place located in the south-west of Kyrgyzstan, in the mountainous region of Pamir-Alay, very similar to the rocky mountains of southern Patagonia. The height of the stone walls of these mountains reaches more than 2000 meters. Many rivers bring the purest water from these rocky mountains. There are such rivers as Laylak, Karavshin, Ak-Suu, Kara-Suu, Orta Chashma, Ontum and many others. This area is located in a picturesque mountain zone. This means clean air and beautiful landscapes. The unique peaks in the area of Ak Su, Karavshin are more complex and therefore more attractive for climbing in these mountains. Everyone can choose their own route according to their interests. And lovers of technically challenging ascents have many interesting routes, from relatively simple to very difficult. If you want to test your strength, agility, flexibility and endurance, make sure you find it. There are picturesque peaks, such as Ak-Su (5355m), Block (5299m), Iskander (5120m), Pyramid (5509m), Asan-Usan and 1000 years of Russia.

This trip will take place in a very large ridges and still mysterious place in Central Asia. It extends over more than a hundred miles, its area is 63,700 km2, from the Takla Makan desert to the Kyzyl-Kum desert and between the Tien Shan mountains and the Hindu Kush. Many of their peaks exceed more than 7,000 meters. It is also called the “Pamir Range,” which in Persian means “Mithra's foot.” Mithra means god of the sun for Zoroastrians. You will walk several kilometers along a cliff, along alpine valleys, ice caves, rivers with crystal clear water. The good weather climate and magnificent views of the region attract travelers and climbers from around the world. This area is also called "Asian Patagonia". Your journey through this area will guide you through the magnificent landscapes, the mysterious peaks and the dense forest. You will taste flavored tea in the yurt of Kyrgyz shepherds. And, of course, you will see the famous monuments of such ancient cities of the Silk Road as Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, and Osh.
