Lake Alaudin, also known in Russian as "Mutnye ozera" (the murky lakes), is a high-altitude lake located at 3,519 meters in the upper part of the Pasrud Valley in Tajikistan’s Fann Mountains. It lies directly at the foot of the Kaznok Pass, which rises to 4,088 meters, surrounded by 5000 m. alt. peaks such as Chimtarga, Mirali, Energia, Zamok and Chapdara.

Lake Chapdara, also known locally as Kuli Chapdara, is the largest of the Alaudin Lakes, with a diameter ranging from 300 to 400 meters. It is part of a system of three main lakes and several smaller ones, all connected by underground streams and mountain runoff.

The lake is situated in the upper part of the Pasrud Valley, in a section known as the Chapdara Valley, located in the Ayni district of northwestern Tajikistan, within the Gissar range of the Fann Mountains. It lies at the foot of Chapdara Peak, which rises to 5,049 meters.

In the majestic Fan Mountains of Tajikistan, not far from the legendary Iskanderkul Lake, stands a striking peak known as the “Hat of the Great Alexander”. Officially named Rain Gauge “Dojdemernaya”, this mountain rises to 3,342 meters, dominating the southern shore of the lake with its steep, dramatic walls. Its unusual shape, reminiscent of a hat, is said to have inspired its legendary name.

The Lost Lakes in front of Lenin Peak on the Alai Range are a unique corner of nature that mesmerizes with its beauty and mystery. Located in the heart of the mountains, these lakes have a unique charm and attraction for travelers and mountaineers.

Orphan Camp is a unique place for mountaineers and hikers looking for real adventure in the mountains. The hut, built entirely of wood, reflects the spirit of the wilderness and serves as a refuge for those who prefer unspoilt conditions and closeness to nature. But to experience this seclusion, our guests sleep in tents as the hut lacks modern amenities.

The Teleti Gorge, in the upper part of the Jeti Oguz valley, is a quiet and scenic valley of the Teskey Ala-Too range. It begins in dense fir-tree forests, where tall spruces shade the slopes and the air carries the fresh scent of resin and damp earth. The Teleti River flows along the valley floor, and its constant murmur accompanies hikers along the trail. In several places, small waterfalls descend from the rocky slopes, especially during the snowmelt season.

The Oguz Bashi mount is situated at the top of the Jeti Oguz valle and culminates at 5168 meters altitude.

North of the chain is the At-Bashi Valley at an average altitude of 2,500 meters. North side, the slopes are steep and covered with rich vegetation. On the south side, the plain of Ak-Say is at an average altitude of 3200 meters. The highest peak is the Rhianydd at 4,801 meters.

The Southern Engilchek Glacier is the largest and most spectacular of the two branches of the Engilchek Glacier system, stretching over 60 kilometers across the central Tien Shan massif. Recognized as the sixth longest non-polar glacier in the world and the largest in Kyrgyzstan, its ice thickness reaches up to 200 meters in some places. Unlike its northern counterpart, known for hosting Lake Merzbacher and its spectacular drainage phenomenon, the southern glacier is distinguished by serving as a unique access route to the highest peaks in the region.
