About This Destination
Discover Kyrgyz Alatau – Kyrgyzstan Northern Tian Shan Mountain Range
Kyrgyz Alatau (also known as Kyrgyz Ala-Too) is a prominent mountain range stretching across northern Kyrgyzstan and forming a natural border between the Chui Valley and the inner Tian Shan highlands. The range is one of the most accessible mountain systems in the country due to its proximity to Bishkek. It includes well-known natural attractions such as Ala-Archa National Park, Issyk-Ata Gorge, Chunkurchak Valley, and several alpine passes leading toward Suusamyr. The landscape varies from forested lower slopes and river valleys to high alpine peaks approaching 4,900 meters. Glaciers, waterfalls, and dramatic gorges make it a key region for hiking, trekking, and weekend eco-tourism.
