Ala-Archa Gorge
Morning hike through the national park
A morning expedition through Ala-Archa National Park, just 40km south of Bishkek. The gorge cuts deep into the Kyrgyz Range, revealing dramatic granite walls and glacial streams.
The park covers over 200 square kilometers of pristine alpine wilderness, home to snow leopards, ibex, and golden eagles. At 2,100m elevation, the air is crisp and the silence is broken only by rushing water and birdsong.
