The premier long distance hiking route in the area, perhaps the whole of Kyrgyzstan. Approximately 110km with 7350m elevation gain. Route crosses 7 passes above 3300m. Lots of beautiful views of the Tian Shan mountains and many pretty lakes along the way. The Eastern section is particularly wild and remote, don't expect to find much other than a few shepherds yurts. Western section is a bit more developed, from Altyn Arashan onwards expect to see more hikers.
Typically the route is hiked East to West. However, there is no reason it can't be done in the opposite direction also.
Starting point: bridge out of Jyrgalan village.
Finish point: Jeti Oguz village.
High point: Ala Kol Pass (3907m).
