– Short Description: KEGETY VALLEY (2,500m) = the BEST 2-DAY TREK accessible from Bishkek (90min drive). The valley follows the Kegety River through beautiful TIAN SHAN SPRUCE FOREST before opening into alpine meadows. KEGETY PASS (4,000m): the full 3-day route crosses this high pass into the Chon-Kemin Valley. Good wildlife: ibex visible on the ridges above. Popular with weekend hikers from Bishkek.
