El trekking comienza en una zona pintoresca del Pamir: la región de Kickik-Alay ("Pequeño Alay"), cerca del valle de Kozho-Kelen. Mientras avanzamos por la cordillera de Alay, cruzaremos dos pasos de alta montaña para llegar al cañón con cascada y rocas rojas que forma la "Garganta de los Tres Dragones". Después, ascender el paso de montaña Dzhiptyk (4185 m) y ver por primera vez el pico Lenin (7134 m) y toda la cordillera Transalay extendida en todo su esplendor es una de las experiencias más memorables de ese trekking.
El valle del Pamir Alay, situado entre las cordilleras Alay y Transalay del sistema montañoso del Pamir, es uno de los paisajes más espectaculares y escarpados.
Practicando senderismo por los alrededores del valle del Pamir Alay, disfrutarás de los increíbles glaciares, las coloridas montañas, los lagos turquesa, las espléndidas vistas desde el Paso de los Viajeros (4150 m) y las tradiciones de los nómadas locales. Sube al pie del famoso Pico Lenin hasta el campamento Sunny (4400 m) y asciende a la cima del cercano Pico Yukhin (5130 m). Es una ascensión fácil a una cumbre de más de 5000 metros que no requiere ningún equipo especial ni un nivel de entrenamiento avanzado.
Es una excursión increíblemente hermosa, mejorada por un puñado de acogedores campamentos de yurtas y glampings de montaña que proporcionan comodidad a lo largo del camino. Toda la región de los montes Alay hace que este lado poco explorado de los Pamires sea estupendo para los viajeros que buscan ampliar sus horizontes en uno de los destinos más populares para hacer senderismo en Kirguistán.

Our journey then leads us to the large and pristine Tulpar-Kol Lake. We will descend to the river and cross a bridge to the other side, where the sacred lake lies. According to local shepherds, it is forbidden to swim in, take water from, water livestock, or fish in the lake. Visitors are encouraged to come with pure thoughts, pray by the shore, dip ailing body parts in the water, or sprinkle themselves with it, as it is believed to possess healing properties. We will walk around the lake, admiring its winding contours from different angles, and learn about the daily lives and traditions of the nomadic Kyrgyz people whose yurts stand nearby.
