The title translates to "Alamyshyk Cave."

Ala-Myshyk Cave - Colorful Cat

On the ridge of the mountain range rising above the surroundings of the city of Naryn, there stands a very beautiful mountain called Ala-Myshyk (Colorful Cat), named so due to the exceptional variety of the rocks that compose it. The slopes of the mountain are covered with green patches of Tien Shan fir trees. The Ala-Myshyk cave is located 6 kilometers west of the city of Naryn, 250 meters from the Naryn relay station, which is installed on the northern slope of the ridge. Behind the entrance, a round corridor is strewn with animal bones, mostly horse bones. Then the cave's cavity descends into the mountain through several steps.

The length of the cave is 162 meters. The depth is 65 meters. The cave has a rather complex configuration – relatively spacious cavities are connected by narrow corridors. The floor is covered with piles of small rock fragments and beautiful red-toned onyx deposits. The cavity consists of several small halls carved into the thickness of the limestone. The halls and passages of the cave are adorned with stalactites and stalagmites of unusual bright red shades.

The entrance, facing southwest, opens up a beautiful panorama of the Naryn valley.
