About this tour
Trekking in Alay: Along the Alay Trails, with a tour of the Pamirs and Kozho-Kelen, 5 days
Trekking in Alay is a journey into a world of wild beauty, where the mountains tell their ancient stories, and every step becomes part of an unforgettable odyssey. The Alay Valley, located between the harsh ridges of the Tien Shan and the majestic peaks of the Pamirs, opens up breathtaking landscapes to travelers.
Imagine endless alpine meadows, where in the summer months everything is in bloom: edelweiss, and carpets of mountain grasses create a bright mosaic under the blue sky. On the horizon, snow-capped peaks rise like majestic guards, and among them, Lenin Peak proudly stands out – one of the most recognizable and beautiful mountain peaks of the region (7134 m). Its glaciers sparkle in the sun, causing awe and admiration.
The trails along the Alay are not only a physical challenge, but also an emotional journey. Each pass opens up new horizons, changing the picture of nature: from emerald valleys to harsh rocky plateaus. At night, when you take shelter in a tent, the starry sky opens up above you, endless and clear, as if created especially for dreamers.
Trekking along the Alay is an opportunity to feel like a part of something grandiose. Here, at the height, everything takes on a different meaning: the bustle disappears, only you, nature and an incredible feeling of freedom remain.

Program
Meeting at the airport. Accommodation at the hotel. Presentation of the program. Dinner at an ethno teahouse.
The road to Sary-Mogol is filled with the bright colors of the Pamir Highway. The change of natural landscapes makes the trip rich and emotional. You will overcome two passes, ethno-cultural landscapes against the backdrop of mountain ranges. Accommodation in a guest house.
Before the trek, we recommend acclimatizing and taking a fascinating excursion to the foot of Lenin Peak. At an altitude of more than 3,500 m in the Achik-Tash valley, a magnificent monumental view of the Pamir mountain giants opens up. Return to Sary-Mogol. Overnight at the guest house
In the morning we leave by car to the beginning of the route, 15 km from Sary-Mogol. The route along the Sary-Mogol rivers lies to the small village of Sary-Mogol. Yes, this is not a mistake. In these places, all geographical objects have one name. From the Pamir Sary-Mogol, the trekking route will take you to another Sary-Mogol, which is located on the other side of the Alay ridge on its northern slopes.
Ascent to the Sary-Mogol pass, 4303 m. Then descent to the yurt camp in Kyzyl-Shoro, located in a green tract. Here you will again find yourself in civilization, the Internet and mobile communications will appear.
Trekking through two passes. Along the way, you will be met by crystal clear rivers rolling over rocks hidden in the depths of gorges, and shepherd camps with yurts, where locals are always ready to treat you to fresh ayran or hot tea. Here life flows measuredly and simply, reminding us of the harmony of man with nature.
Accommodation in a guest house.
Excursion to Kozho-Kelen. Kozho-Kelen is a unique place that seems to have been created by nature to surprise and inspire. The main feature of Kozho-Kelen is the red rocks towering over the valley, as if carved by a skilled craftsman. These rocks, with their rich terracotta hue, create a contrast with the bright green pastures and blue sky. They look especially impressive at sunset, when the sun paints them with even deeper tones. Kozho-Kelen is not just a point on the map, but a corner where nature, history and culture merge into something indescribable in words. Here, every stone and every path preserves the spirit of antiquity and calls for exploration. After lunch, you will head to the city of Osh. Accommodation at the hotel. Dinner at an ethno teahouse.
