Ala-Archa National Park
Arrival to the Ala-Archa National Park, where picturesque and majestic views of the Tien Shan Mountains open up on the way. "Ala-Archa" from the Kyrgyz language means motley juniper and when you see numerous junipers on the slope of the mountains, you will understand why this national park was named that way. Together with them, tall Tien Shan spruces grow, which are considered the lungs of Central Asia.
Trek to Ak-Sai waterfall (2700 m)
Note: If you do not want to arrange a track to the waterfall, we can walk along the river along an asphalt path, where at the end we will reach the beautiful Ala-Archa valley. 1.5 km along the river. In terms of time, it will take 1.5-2 hours, which means that we will return to the city early.
Level: easy, even in summer flip flops you can walk along the river. But if you want to walk to the waterfall, then you need comfortable and non-slip shoes.
We start our trek to the waterfall which is located at an altitude of 2700 meters above sea level. Along the way, beautiful views of the Ala-Archa valley and the Ak-Sai river open up.
The beginning of the track from 2200 above sea level.
It will take 2-2.5 hours one way.
