The Trek Experience

The journey begins in the rural village of Kyz Art.
The trail gently ascends through vast open grasslands, with herds of sheep, yaks, and horses grazing in the fields.
The climb continues to the Tuz Ashuu Pass, which stands at about 3,400 meters.
The path is steep, rocky, and narrow in sections, but the views from the top are breathtaking.

Nomadic yurt camps begin to appear on the plains, where many travelers spend the night and enjoy traditional meals.
