Ala-Archa National Park: trekking to a glacier

About tour:

The Ala-Archa gorge is considered to be one of the most beautiful places near Bishkek. All year round thousands of people coming to Kyrgyzstan visit Ala-Archa, because this place is suitable for hiking and trekking. Here you can walk along the mountain river, enjoy a picnic among the majestic Tien Shan firs; visit the memorial for climbers and those people who could not imagine their lives without the mountains and feel of the winds of freedom…

We will guide you to the Ak-Sai glacier, which is located at an altitude of 3200 meters. This is difficult and almost day-long hike. As we will not provide food or water, you will need to bring your own. Also, proper hiking boots and clothing are required. However, the wondrous sights behind the mountains will be your ultimate reward for taking on this challenge.

We will pass through the mountain forest and the waterfall to place, where it is snowing even in the summer – from the base camp you will see amazing glaciers and peaks. No one can predict how the weather would be in the mountains – whether the sun or the strong wind! So, no matter what, this is a great experience as well as adventure.

For this trek, you need good footwear, the best one (suitable for hiking in mountains).
