ENILCHEK 2

Duration: 2 days

The Sary-Jaz area is truly a unique place on the map of Kyrgyzstan. The half-abandoned Soviet village set in amongst the 6000+ meters snow-covered peaks of Tien-Shan intrigues the visitors with its enchanting history and diverse landscape.
Located off the beaten path, only a few kilometers from the Chinese border, it’s an ideal place for adventurous travelers seeking to discover the unusual locations - the ones where you won’t find many other people around.
