Trekking in Ala-Archa gorge
(Trekking near Bishkek)
Ala-Archa Gorge is located in the Kyrgyz Ridge, which stretches for 375 km. It starts in the Boom Gorge and ends in Kazakhstan, near Taraz. The highest point of the Kyrgyz Ridge is the Semenov-Tian-Shansky Peak 4875 m.
Many climbers and mountain tourists begin their journeys in Ala-Archa, where they hold gatherings, training sessions, and acclimatization before tackling higher mountains (such as climbing Lenin Peak).
Famous worldwide, the Ala-Archa Gorge is just 40 km from Bishkek (about an hour’s drive). You can reach the alpine camp by car, and from there, the trekking route begins. The altitude of the alpine camp is 2100 m.
Ala-Archa offers more than 100 routes of varying difficulty. This program is suitable for those discovering new trails and peaks, as well as for those preparing for more challenging climbs.
The program includes gradual acclimatization. You will visit incredibly beautiful places: mountain lakes, glaciers, waterfalls, and the Uchitel Peak at 4530 m. The route difficulty is rated as 1B, which means you can reach the summit without special equipment, simply wearing trekking boots (during warm weather).
You are likely to see wild animals, including mountain goats, pikas, stoats, and marmots, among others.
