Vacation in the Tien Shan: unique places of the mountain system

Vacation in the Tien Shan: unique places of the mountain system

The Tien Shan Mountains are not just a giant mountain massif spreading in the central part of Asia, but also a geological complex that has become the object of close attention of travelers from all over the world. This place amazes with its grandeur and diversity of landscapes. Mountain trekkers, rock climbers, mountaineers and other adventurers can often be found here.

What are the Tien Shan Mountains

Given the size of this natural wonder, and its length exceeds 2500 kilometers, it is extremely difficult to unambiguously answer the question of where the Tien Shan Mountains are located. The massif occupies vast territories in Tajikistan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. It can be seen even from space. The maximum height is considered to be Victory Peak with a mark of 7439 meters, located on the territory of Kyrgyzstan, near the border with China. This peak is famous for its harsh climate. That is why not everyone can conquer it.

Another of the most beautiful places in Kyrgyzstan is Khan-Tengri Peak, which gained fame thanks to its pyramid-shaped peak. This miracle is located at an altitude of 7010 meters. To challenge Khan-Tengri Peak means to test your strength and fortitude.

What it is, a vacation in Tien Shan

If you adore mountains and places untouched by man, a trip to Tien Shan Kyrgyzstan is exactly what you need. Especially if you are bored with the standard routes and are in search of new places of spiritual power. Many are convinced that this is where they will find peace.

Today Tien Shan is a region with developed tourist infrastructure. All local trails have a different configuration and level of difficulty. Thanks to this, tourists with any degree of physical fitness can rest here.

Tien Shan is an ideal place for lovers of winter ski tourism, and those who prefer active summer vacation with a visit to picturesque lakes.

The best mountain views in Tien Shan

If you want to enjoy peace and quiet, pay attention to the following locations:

Kungoy Ala-Too Ridge. A truly amazing place, where the Chon Ak-Suu River flows with a fantastic milky color of water. On the territory of the plateau there is a tiny spring lake, which locals call Kara-Kol. It has an absolutely smooth surface, on which you can see the mirror reflection of the Tien Shan massif. It is an excellent place for a photo session at sunset.

Zheti-Ogyz Canyon. A tiny, but at the same time quite deep mountain gorge, which appeared as a result of red sandstone surfacing. The canyon is located on the southern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul. Only here you can see how the green vegetation, usual for the Tien Shan, contrasts against the background of red, almost Martian rocks.

Canyon Fairy Tale. A popular place among tourists, located 17 kilometers east of Kadzhi-Sai settlement and 2 kilometers from the southern shore of Issyk-Kul. Here you can also see red sandstone, but already slightly mixed with calcareous sediments. Wind and water erosion gave these mountains a completely unusual look.

Lake Sonkol. A fantastic high-altitude body of water, sandwiched in a basin between the inner Tien Shan spurs. It can be reached from Bishkek. Local residents live in yurts, and for tourists created a fairly large village Batay-Aral. It has everything you need for recreation. And you can also swim here. The water is crystal clear, but cold. Therefore, it is worth bathing for no more than two or three minutes.

Vacation on Tien Shan is akin to a trip to Tibet. Underfoot there is alpine vegetation, many thickets of edelweiss. And the huge herds of horses that run by themselves, creating an incredible atmosphere of pristine nature, deserve special attention.

Entertainment on the Tien-Shan

In terms of entertainment, the Grigoriev Gorge and the Black Lake are excellent. Both of these picturesque places are located in Kyrgyzstan, not far from the coast of Lake Issyk-Kul. There are always a lot of people at the foot of the gorge. There are many yurts where you can enjoy national cuisine, ride horses and take pictures with tame birds of prey. However, the most interesting thing is climbing mountains and swimming in lakes.

Where to stay for tourists

During the trip, you can stay overnight at one of the recreation centers on the Tien Shan. It can be:

Hotel "Akun Issyk-Kul". On the territory of the recreation center there are swimming pools, sports grounds, cafes, stores. The price for a room starts from 65$.

"Kyrgyz Vzmorye" sanatorium: large green territory, mineral and mud baths. The price of accommodation per day starts from 25$.

Recreation area "Solemar": excellent rooms, high level of service, delicious food. Price per day starts from 53$.

Recreation center "Okhotny Dvor" consists of cottages made of clean log cabins. The price for a day starts from 53$.

Sanatorium "Blue Issyk-Kul". A place with a green territory, a large beach and a lot of medical procedures. The price of a room per day starts from 32$.

Prices depend on many factors, such as: room category, landscaping, number of meals, availability of health procedures. It is also possible to stay in traditional yurts of nomads covered with felt, located in ecologically clean areas with mountain views.

Conclusions

If you dream of going on an unforgettable adventure, a trip to the Tien Shan Mountains is just what you need. Mountain ranges and gorges, glaciers and snowy peaks, incredibly beautiful lakes and wild forests — such a variety of unspoiled landscapes can be found in a few places.

If you are ready to climb into hard-to-reach places and challenge yourself, you will be rewarded with emotions that you will remember for the rest of your life.
