Oruu-Sai Gorge

Those who love clean, mountain air should visit the Oruu-Sai gorge

.
It is located just thirty-five kilometers from Bishkek. The picturesque hills covered with lush vegetation leave no one indifferent. Mountain gorges adorned with thickets of wild rose, barberry, wild raspberries, and juniper alternate with slopes of red clay. The ringing silence is filled only by the murmuring of springs with crystal clear water and the chirping of birds.

In the summer, people visit these places to relax peacefully, search for mushrooms or berries among the trees, leisurely grill shashlik, and fill bottles with pure spring water, which cannot be compared to tap water.

In winter, when the ski base opens its doors, extreme sports enthusiasts from all over the country come here to compete in agility and bravery, conquering the snowy expanses, leaving their mark on skis or snowboards.

The Oruu-Sai gorge is located at an altitude of 2100 m above sea level, so anyone can come here regardless of the season – the route is easy to navigate and offers beautiful panoramas.

The high mountain plateau is located on the northern slopes of the Kyrgyz Range between the Ala-Archa and Alamedin gorges. On the northern side of the mountains sprawls the city of Bishkek, which can be observed from a bird's eye view.

By taking the picturesque road that winds in a serpentine between clay slopes to the northeast, you can reach the picturesque Chon-Kurchak gorge through the Kyzyl-Beles pass.

Choose what you like – endless green hills or a snowy alluring desert, and come to fall in love with this land.
