Kyrgyz Republic Horses in Sary-Jaz valley
The Sary-Jaz Valley has a charm all of its own. The vastness of the tranquil landscape with the 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.
Photography Tips
If you're spending a few days and setting up camp, always keep your camera nearby. On occasion, groups of horses may suddenly appear and disappear again.
Travel Information
Attention! To get to the place on the right side of the river, you have to cross a bridge much further ahead. This is visible from the road, as there is a small junction. So keep your eyes open for this.
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!
