In the Alai Valley, the minimum altitude begins at 2,500 meters above sea level and quickly rises higher. Due to the altitude, we recommend this hike for people in moderate physical condition with no altitude-related health problems. 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 (active walking).
Acclimatization:
It is recommended to acclimatize to the altitude in advance, as the round hiking route starts from the Sary-Mogol Pass (4280 m), and the trail to the pass rises to an altitude of 900 meters.
