Our trekking tours, developed over many years of practical research and refinement, have become highly popular among European and international nature enthusiasts. These routes are loved by adventurers for their breathtaking landscapes.
In the Alai Valley, the minimum altitude begins at 2,500 meters and quickly rises higher. Due to the altitude, we recommend this hike for people in moderate physical condition. The route includes two challenging passes, Sary-Mogol Pass (4,280 m) and Jiptik Pass (4,185 m), with daily treks of 5–6 hours
Why Start from Tulpar-Kol?
We design our tours with your comfort and safety in mind:
Around Tulpar-Kol, there are several short, hour-long trekking routes without high passes, allowing participants to naturally acclimatize before starting the main trek.
Tulpar-Kol offers reliable connections and internet access, which is vital for safety. If anyone feels unwell or experiences mountain sickness, immediate transport by car is available.
