Description

A pass that allows crossing the Terskey Ala-Too for caravans coming from Kyzyl-Suu to Kashgar.

As soon as you reach the highest point of the pass, an incredible view of the peaks and glaciers of the huge high-mountainous desert, the Arabel Plateau, immediately opens up.

A great view of the lakes of the Juku gorge, the Dunguromo gorge, the winding river that goes into the depths of the gorge also fascinates with its view.

Glaciers are everywhere, beckoning with their ancient history and beauty.

The height of the pass is 3,700 m above sea level.

One of the most beautiful places that everyone who comes to our amazing country should visit.

The Juku Valley is part of the Kyrgyz Nomad Trail - KNT, a national trekking network that promotes sustainable tourism and connects travelers with Kyrgyzstan’s natural and cultural heritage.
