Kyrgyz Republic Aksu river in Sary-Jaz region

The way to the Sary-Jaz Valley has a charm all of its own. The vastness of the tranquil landscape with the slowly visible Tien Shan Mountains and its snowy peaks, some of which are over 6000 meters high, in the background is hard to take your eyes off. Here you can enjoy a special tranquillity in untouched nature.

Watch out for the wind speed in the open field.

In terms of perspective, you can include the mountains in the background by choosing a slightly downward sloping angle.

Have a flying license with you.

Located off the beaten path, only a few kilometers from the Chinese border away you need to have a really good 4x4 car for this spot. It is so important to have an experienced driver who knows the area. You should also always make sure you have enough fuel (extra canister) and all the tools you need to get yourself out of the mud if you get stuck.

You can camp anywhere on site or ask the few individual nomads if you can spend the night there.

As you will pass two military posts, you will need a special permit for the area, which you must apply for in advance from the government or a tourism provider!
