From Osh to the “Roof of the World”


Osh – Alay Valley – Osh

This one-day express tour is for those who wish to see the magnificent Pamir Mountains, towering over 7,000 meters high, but do not have much time. Pamir, from Persian – “The Roof of the World” – is one of the highest mountain systems in the world. You will travel along the Kyrgyz section of the legendary Pamir Highway into the high-altitude Alay Valley, passing through winding mountain passes, picturesque mountain valleys and peaks, summer pastures, shepherds’ yurts, and alpine meadows. The highlight of the trip is the grand panorama of the snow-covered peaks of the Zaalay Range, including the dominant Lenin Peak (7,134 m).

Excursion

8:00. Meeting with the guide, short briefing, departure from Osh to the Alay Valley (200 km, 5 hours with stops for photo sessions). Along the way, you will enjoy magnificent natural landscapes. Crossing the Alay Range, we will pass two mountain passes: Chyyyrchyk (2,400 m) and Taldyk (3,615 m), and stop in the district center of Gulcha, where we will visit the Kurmanjan Datka Museum – the “Queen” of the Pamirs – an extraordinary woman who ruled over the peoples of the region in the late 19th – early 20th century.
13:30. Arrival in Sary-Tash, from where a view opens onto the Alay Valley and the Pamirs. The vast Alay Valley (length – 150 km, width – 8–25 km, elevation from 2,200 to 3,500 meters above sea level) is a geological and geographical boundary between two mountain systems: the Pamirs and the Gissar-Alay.
13:30 – 14:30. Lunch at a local café.
14:30. A short trip to the foothills of the Pamirs. The Kyzyl-Suu River, which crosses the Alay Valley, is the natural geographical border between the Gissar-Alay and the Pamirs. After crossing the bridge, you will be in the Pamirs. Photo stop, fresh air, and unforgettable emotions.
15:30. Departure back to Osh. On the way, you’ll see the same landscapes, but from a different angle and perspective: the light, shadows, and mountains in a new way.
19:30. Arrival in Osh.
