We`ve been doing social advertising there, so we had to bring our equipment up the hill to make a beautiful shots there. Also, one of the mountains there is named after great soviet fil director Sergey Gerasimov, whos name also belongs to the best russian film school VGIK. It is a beautiful place to visit, but be sure that you... More

What a wonderful national park. I came here when there was still plenty of snow on the ground. The views and peaks can give the Alps a run for their money. The services are very basic, but hiking is a great activity, for a good workout and awesome views. More

The drive is a little long, but it is worth it. The air here was so pure and it is amazingly calming. They say no open fires, but it seems that is not very enforced. We had a picnic up there, and it was fantastic! This is a must see if you get to Bishkek. More

Also take a jacket... More
